The split is probably inevitable. Matey has his parcels . (Who really wants their parcel delivered at 10pm on a Sunday night? More`s the point, which of us will want to do it?)
Nationalise RM .
Simple Simon goes to work for Amazon as he`s so enamoured by them.

Sadly, people do want people delivering their parcels to 10pm. Hence this dispute.

The gvmt could then use their acquisition of rm to compete with everyone else and set up their own parcel delivery within public company again

You’re forgetting one thing here. The government couldn’t run a bath.

You go knock on someone's door and you will get a black eye or stabbed or told to f*** off I know I have just doing my job at more civil times but your welcome to do it as I will not be doing it!

Didn't Simon's precious Amazon announce last year that Prime was "within 48 hours" now, as next day delivery on everything was proving really hard to keep up with, and costing Amazon quite a bit in refunds?
Also someone should point out to him that Amazon is a shop, not a delivery company (yes I know they can deliver stuff from your Amazon affiliated shop, but a lot of that is within 2 days now, not 1)

Simple Simon knows the cost of everything and the value of nothing!

I can assure you, I don't want to do it. Amazon deliver til 10; it allows them to offer certain products that you can order in the morning that arrive the same day. Royal Mail are chasing that market, because it's what people want.

Which people though? I'm sure many people would happily wait a day... Has anyone actually asked the public?

If some clown knocks on my door at night the piss pot will be on his head!

hi all, rant coming ! ecomerce has created a eutopian system whereby consumers can order three dresses for an event, and send two if not three back for a refund. unfortunately it has given retailers a false sense of what is actually sustainable, and this s**t must stop. carbon footprints blllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabla. zero hour contracts, gig economy, erosion of family units and child care, dont get me started on pet care. give us propper jobs where people can go to work and provide a reasonable standard of living for their family, and a decent service for our customers. well done to all of you on the line today, big respect.

I was listening to a small girl the other morning giving her Dad grief ... "But I WANT ......", apart from thinking she needs a slap on the arse I thought that's exactly what our customers are doing!

People have just got used to that instant gratification, who the hell actually needs that REALLY urgent bit of tat ... THE SAME DAY?

I ordered some plastic pipe for a water feature (NOT from Amazon), it only cost me £4 and I must have had about 5 e-mails informing me where it was and what time it might be delivered FFS! And then they wanted me to give some feedbackback and rate their service!

The worlds gone bloody mad I just threw it on top of the fridge until I got around to using it.

I don't even think it's the customers, its the courier companies telling people that's what they want and people use it because it's there, not because they need or even want it. Obviously there are exceptions, and people occasionally NEED something urgently, but I really don't think the public care about that extra 24 hours for most things

You're probably right mate. These advertising guys have a lot to answer for.

I had a wife like that. Had being the operative word.

Fly in the ointment is with a massive recession combined with high electric/gas people will have less spare cash to buy online.

But they don’t want to pay for it, the sender doesn’t want to pay for it, RM don’t want to pay for it, so we must pay for it.
