Royal Mail: hang your heads in shame.
 

Received a card today, posted first class in Manchester on 22nd dec. Almost two weeks to deliver.

The sooner this shower are privatised, the better.

I'm still waiting on things from the very beginning of December.

Think I should just write them off and get my money back now like.

I'm also still waiting for a parcel from America bought over a month ago... lord knows where that is.

Is there anything you don't complain about Alcazar? ;)

Problem is the useless agency staff they use.

Yeah, moderators on here.

Muahahahahahahaha

I wite it like it is mate, if it needs complaining about, I'm your man, ask COB.

But equally, I'm first, and usually only, bloke in the queue for praising someone;)

To be fair that is rather poor on Royal Mail's part.

Private sector aint much better. Ive been sat in since half 7 this morning on my holidays waiting for city link to pick up some wheels I sold. The guy buying wheels organised it and was told they would pick them up between 0730 and 1700 today. No show. Not fcukin happy....:mad:

TBH, my comment about privatisation is somewhat tongue in cheek..........

Ordered a book 10 days before Christmas.

Still no show - not happy

Well that's it then, it's YOUR fault: the b*ggers who should have been routing MY mail are reading YOUR book:D

aye im a bit slow off the mark.....:wonder:

While watching my DVDs and wearing my husbands new clothes.

The *******s.:lol1:

Unexpected weather conditions, it wasn't their fault :(

:lol1:

Luckily all my Amazon orders turned up on time, weirdly also the stuff I had from Jersey (Play and Amazon/IndigoStarfish) turned up first :cuckoo:

The weird thing about the royal mail is i ordered some stuff on the 21st december which was posted 1st class and i still havn`t recieved that yet, i then bought something more recently on the 29th December off the net which was posted 2nd class and i recieved that today.

The 1st class one still hasn`t arrived as yet.

Whoa... :eek::eek::eek:











































Ok, tis true :D

Get back to feeling the baby kick, mate.

She made me curry tonight :notworthy

I agree the service at times is shocking.

My wife ordered something off amazon at the beginning of December, we received a card through the door (well we received 2 one was for something I ordered)

I selected for them both to be delivered on the same day, but only one was delivered mine...where the other one was/is who knows...I even tried to get it delivered again and got the online receipt thingy...it didn't turn up, we can only assume it will get back to Amazon at some point but becasue Amazon have such a good customer service after a simple email to them they have dispatched another order (which I hasten to add it still to arrive lol.)

Meh, that's nowt. I delivered something today with a delivery date of 1/12/10. :D

Conversely I delivered and item from Amazon with a delivery date of 6/1/11.

Snow?

That's because you city link boys pass every dvd around the office to watch before it gets delivered:lol1:

Have you caught up in most areas with deliveries yet Mick, as waiting for my new exhaust and you lot are delivering it:sleep::lol1:

:( I don't have an office.

Can't speak for Durham, we're getting there, not sure about that shower though. :D

Really? FWIW When the snow hit the NE in early December, Royal Mail weren't allowed/couldn't get out of their depot in North Tyneside. DHL, TNT, Scooby Soon's favourites HDNL were all kept off the road.

City Link, Durham branch were kept off the road also. Only other courier I saw on the road was Parcel Force.

I work out of Newcastle branch, I was never off the road due to adverse weather. Oh, and I'm employed as opposed to owner driver, I quite like my attendance record, no sickness or down time in the last 8 1/2 years(9 years in June).

City Link might well be shit in your area, but we sure as hell aren't in mine. We're behind still, it's not because of our drivers though.

You may want to try a different area then make your judgement. Just like you may like to try posting in a non stupid colour, in bold with Italics. :Whatever_ :p

Dont worry if they privatise RM then any letters that old would just be "lost" to ensure they achieved their targets private companies know how to hit targets ;)

Scraping!!! Scraping the bottom of the barrel! :p

My lass, I think wouldn't bother, your opinion of my employer matters nothing to her.

You should try moving to get a better service, try the NE27 area, they get a great service. ;)

If you have to make that sort of round trip, then you must, assuming, live in the countryside, or are we/they really crap in your area? I don't know where you live, so you'd have to enlighten me.

I wouldn't suggest for a second, that you move to aid City Link, they/we should be better in your and all areas; I'd just rather you didn't link me with the hapless that you and others are stuck with.

Right, binty, ban the green posting one. ;)

Touché.

It wouldn't of been the first time if she had.

Nah not countryside really, more end of the line, PE25, depots at Lincoln and Scunthorpe.


I didn't, YOU did!:lol1:


Oh yeah, now it matters to her!;)

ordered 23rd December from ebuyer on 24 hour delivery, finally out for delivery today with city link!

Ordered my misses Xmas present on 15th Dec .. still not here .. ****ers
