High costs and unreliable #deliveries for #parcels in Shetland, report finds
Consumer #Scotland has published a report into its findings in #Shetland, #Orkney and the #WesternIsles, saying #islanders faced “high #postal costs” and “inconsistent services”.
A #RoyalMail decision to move postal #flights to #Glasgow instead of #Aberdeen has often been cited as resulting in longer delivery times in Shetland.

The UK’s private postal company (which bizarrely calls itself “Royal Mail”) has written to say that the are improving the service by reducing deliveries (of second class mail) from six days a week to two or three.
Why can’t they just be honest and say that they are trying to contain costs?

Sick and tired of Royal Mail saying they have delivered to my “safeplace”. I do not have a “safeplace”. Just a place where it can get damaged or stolen. Complete whack jobs. #royalmail #fail #postmanprat

"Small changes for more dependable delivveries", lies the UK's #RoyalMail.
1/ halving the number of deliveries each week is not a "small change".
2/ it's nothing to do with dependable. It's about cost-cutting.
These lies are being delivered to every home in the UK. No punishment, of course, 'cos corporate mendacity isn't criminalised.
But say you support action against #genocide ... 😡

I'm seeing claims that #RoyalMail uses this method to hide the dates (machine or hand cancels with stamps usually have a date on them) so folk can't tell how long its taking to deliver the mail, but that would require switching off the part of the automatic machine on the conveyor belt that does the cancellation - its normally only unusually shaped envelopes or anything that can't be auto processed that gets a hand cancel..

I'm sorry #RoyalMail, but if you send me a notification that my parcel is at my local delivery office, and will be delivered between 10:10 and 14:10 today, you should effing well deliver it. No ifs, no buts.
They should be made to remove the Royal part of their name, rebranding to something more accurate such as "Can't Be Arsed Mail" or "Fuck You Mail".
In other news, the Amazon Prime order I placed on Thursday for delivery on Friday wasn't even dispatched until today (Saturday) and will arrive two days after it was required. Even worse, they wouldn't let me cancel it despite the fact it hasn't even been dispatched. I shall take no pleasure in sending it back.
The race to the bottom continues.

Not an expression of republican sentiment - but a pen cancellation of a #postage #stamp by #RoyalMail #Chelmsford - maybe because the sender used an odd shaped envelope - it is from one of our service users who pays by cheque, they tend to be seniors who still use notepaper and writing cases!
When I worked at RM there were hand stamps for this if the sorting machine didn't auto cancel the stamps. but they have likely been abandoned to save time and costs post privatisation, and RM don't want the stamp being reused, especially at £1.80 a time!

We had a leaflet through the door from the postman to tell us that the service is going to start being shit. Which is quite a surprise as it got shit several years back.
To be honest if they keep to their promise to deliver letters every second day, that's going to be a significant improvement on what we currently get.

Quick #rant. Any customer service on hold message that says that they are busier than normal are lying. Since Covid they have simply not invested in customer service and long wait times are a deliberate way to get you to sod off. Today I am battling with #RoyalMail. They want me to "show kindness and consideration to their team". Shame their management don't.
If I ever get through I want to ask them to stop sending me notifications for other peoples packages. If they aren't super helpful them I'm reporting a data breach to #OfCom.

Am I missing a trick here with the Royal Mail Amazon returns service? Where the heck is the option to print the label. This is my second go. The first time I chose the option for the label be brought when collecting, but the postie didn't have it so I though I'd print my own this time. Tried Firefox and Brave browsers.

What a beautiful set of #maxicards of #royalmail
A complete set of 5 PHQ cards (No. 52) issued by the British Royal Mail on 24th June 1981. It features five postcards commemorating the Golden Jubilee of the National Trust for Scotland. The set includes Glenfinnan, Derwentwater, Stackpole Head, Giant’s Causeway, and St Kilda. A wonderful addition to any philatelic collection!

@royalmail are being special, again #RoyalMail
A package lost, simple. Tracking shows it got to target country and no more, and now months later. So simple, this is "International Tracked £50 compensation".
The fun is that they want
1. Original certificate of posting.
2. Proof of cost priceWell, I have asked, and got no answer, if their own tracking is proof of posting. I cannot imagine I need some paper certificate or something. I hope not. We'll see what they say.

Maybe I’m going senile, but I could not figure out how to post a letter in the #RoyalMail ‘s “upgraded”, solar powered, Internet-connected pillar boxes that allow you to send parcels. Is it not possible, or have I just lost it?

I'm not saying that UK #RoyalMail privatisation is a disaster, but… they should be stripped of their right to operate and the owners prosecuted and then hung, drawn and quartered.
It was my birthday last week. I don't have many friends, but so far I've received 3 cards in the post. One arrived in good time, and two arrived today, five days after my birthday. Both were posted 3 days before my birthday and took 8 days to arrive. One of them only came from Birmingham (approximately 40 miles away).
If anyone can name a UK privatised service when privatisation has improved things, feel free to reply. -

Ordered another #RaspberryPi per-loaded mircoSD card, since having issues writing one here. Could be my adapter?
And £3.50 postage with #Ervi or £3.90 with #RoyalMail? Happy to upgrade there!
