I got post today.

Though it was via UK Mail (a.k.a. Business Post), so probably bypassed most of the trouble.

No post here in Merseyside

EDIT: Ah just read that first link

Desmo · 10-10-2007, 12:50

Our local office have been told to start an hour and a half later than normal from now on....which means I can't collect our full post in the morning before coming into work

This is getting ****ing ridiculous.

Thats just great :/ It has been a long standing thing that when you have done your round you go home. However everyone else has to work the hours they are bloody paid for. They are damn sharp on paying overtime at RM, its not like people are missing out. Infact I know of a few posties that used to stuff their letters back in the postbox if they couldn't be bothered that day.

No sympathy at all over this. They lazy gits will strike randomly at any time. While I was working there, they cleared off on strike and it was the agency workers that were keeping the chelmsford office running on a number of occasions.

Desmo, first post here is now at around 12pm if it turns up at all :/ Gone are the 7-7:30 post that you used to get

Our post doesn't arrive normally until between 10 and 11 making it crap if you are waiting for something before work. We got post today but there wasn't anything for me.

Mark · 10-10-2007, 13:22

Yup - like I've said before I used to get it at 8AM sharp. Now I'm lucky if it's turned up by 1PM. Admittedly most of that isn't the postie's fault - it's down to the ever increasing size of their rounds (anyone remember the days of two deliveries per day - wasn't that long ago either).

Desmo · 10-10-2007, 14:19

I can understand waiting for a delivery...but I'm going to collect this form the sorting office...but it's not even being sorted by 10am now :/

I maybe wrong but I still don't think that TNT are competition for RM.. Competiton means that there has to be a choice for the consumer. I'm talking general postage here.. I can't go to a TNT office on the high street buy a TNT first class stamp and pop into a first class TNT box. despite who RM sub-contract to.

I have a client who has paid me last week and the cheque is sitting somewhere in the system.. not happy.

The striking is nothing short of bullying tactics.
