Yeah this competition bullshit that "Is very real" is a load of shite. DHL, TNT etc will only ever deliver packages and possibly deliver huge sacks of mail to factories and other such businesses. You'll never see a DHL postman walking the streets delivering Mrs Miggins postcard from uncle Jack.

My wife ordered something online from America and they charged $30 for the postage. When it was delivered by UPS, they said there is a COD charge, and we had to pay an additional amount of Â£24.90. Good luck public----ha ha ha

That would probably be a customs charge

Of course it is a load of bollocks. It makes my blood boil to read how the likes of TNT and DHL are being portrayed in the media as viable and efficient alternatives to RM.

I agree DHL and TNT will never be a cheaper option than RM. It just comes down to them not having the BALLS to set up a delivery force because it will cost them to much. Whats the betting Bullshit Leigtons plan all along was to privatise deliveries into one of them pretenders.
