Before 09.00 Special

[Jpro747]

We have to do them, normally start our rounds at 08:30 so we have 30mins to get it done. Always a bit of an adrenaline rush trying to get there before 9.

If it is on your walk you take it out and your IPS/prep gets covered until you get back ( usually less than 30 mins)

[dave72]

We start at 8am and not out on delivery until 10:30, not a chance we could get them done so a spare driver does them

It is a push to get the specials done too, breaking off to drive across the small town to go do one or two is a right pain in the backside

27 quid??????? Feck me some people have more money than sense don't think i'll be ever using that service!

Come to think of it I never send anything via royal mail apart from the odd card, always use other firms for packages as its a lot cheaper and convenient

Our phg never has the reggies ready till 9 30 therefore its a fail straight away.

Why is that KN? Is he getting them late? I get the 9s ready before 7.15 they are so far apart that we need that amount of time to cover them. Sometimes we need two guys. Admittedly they are a pain in the bum but I had one today that they'd paid £27 for

Yes, 9am Special Deliveries have increased 60% in price over the past four years, starting at £11.35 from April 2010, starting at6 £18.18 from April 2014.
£26.94 is for one weighing between 1kg and 2kg.

Yep that'd be about right it was fairly weighty.

So I should pay extra money to send a parcel to save my job????
Maybe the people I work for should become more competitive so that I would use them

I really wonder if our paymasters really want to keep the uso... I can imagine us with a service like TNT or should that be whistl delivering to certain streets just 3 x a week, that would be worrying for jobs

Yes, other carriers will be cheaper for some services ( that's what can be done with paying just over the minimum wage ) but I doubt if many can match the £6.40 basic rate Special Delivery for guaranteed by 1pm the next day and I doubt if others offer a 9am service whatever the price.
