Remember this being said 6 months ago and didn't seem to happen. But I still believe its only a matter of time before most contracts are lost to DPD. And hermes

We talking Parcelforce or RM here?

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Yeah I can remember that as well. I heard DPD didn’t want the drop offs at the shops but were happy to deliver to people’s houses. I think personally it will hurt us if we lose Screwfix.

If PF are losing that many contracts, is there the chance that they might get fully merged into RM?
