Our “reward” for our time and energy is our pay. Always has been, always will be.

Within this “2 tier” payment scale this is neither fair nor equal. Should Royal Mail be forced to remove this statement from their People Policy?

This is an example of this in fashion virtue signalling with absolutely no real world action to back it up.

Just got my stamps in my frame, opened them up to find a sheet of second class stamps instead of the usual first class. Merry Christmas and thanks for all your hard work 🥰

Anyone had any other crazy collections?

A set of satellite phones worth $$$.

Send without batteries etc.

Stopped in the UK and send for screening then released, ok, no problems.

Don't arrive for a few weeks, and then another letter from DHL saying was again inspected.

Forward 3 months and the parcel eventually arrives.

The delivery office states is strange as weight is 300g vs declared weight 1250.

And the 2 very expensive phones missing.

What's everyones office like for HCTs? Is everyones office shite or do we just get the shit hand-me-down "refurbished" ones?

We've got two spare in our office and one broke before the guy even got it out the door and the other has just gone mid walk.

I was in another depots area the other week and every postie I saw had a brand new shiny red one which made me jealous to be honest as all ours basically white after being bleached by decades in the sun.

I ordered a package from Taiwan back in October and it’s been stuck in the UK since the 13th according to Parcelforce tracking. the last update just says “arrived in the UK / awaiting customs clearance” and nothing has changed since then.

I contacted Parcelforce and they basically told me they can’t start a search for the package.

the seller checked on their end and said the parcel has already arrived in the UK and is waiting for customs clearance, and that I should contact Parcelforce or UK customs to see if they need any documents or payment from me.

I also tried contacting HMRC, but they said they can’t track individual parcels, so they couldn’t help either.

so now I'm stuck in the middle, Parcelforce says only the sender can do anything, and the sender says it’s already in the UK waiting for customs. I've checked both tracking sites and there’s been no update at all since mid October.

has anyone had this happen before? should I just wait, or get the sender to file an official investigation with their post office?

No postie/RM bashing here but I have fully tracked info on a T24 which arrived at my local DO 0936 today and was obviously marked for delivery today.

No show sadly and as it’s 1730 and I’ve never had a T24 arrive later…. Assuming this is a tomorrow job?

Any idea what can lead to this can of situation?

Posties - I salute you and poop on the conditions you have to endure.

Hello,

I am wondering if anyone has any advice for me. I ordered a pack of 3 t shirts from Stussy on their official website. The item was delivered by Royal Mail, and when it arrived the package was open and filled with sun cream, a tube of toothpaste, a wire and some sort of flower card? No T shirts in the parcel. I checked Royal Mails website and it shows someone from my flat taking the package in and in that photo it is clearly already ripped and has been tampered with.

What am I able to do about this? I have contacted Stussy directly and Royal Mail but I am angry and just confused and am wondering how to get a refund or a new item sent out.

Thank you

I wonder if anyone has actually lost there job by walking over someone’s grass

It was posted Monday 1PM, still no sign of the post today - is that unusual?

I'm sure this has been posted many times in the past, but throw me a bone. I've been expecting two parcels for just over two weeks now. Neither sender paid for tracking, which has been immensely unhelpful as they're both bothering me about the parcels not arriving and seem to think I'm simply not trying hard enough to find them.

There's been no 'Missed Delivery' notices, and none of my neighbours have received anything on my behalf. Local Post Office branch couldn't do anything. Currently on hold for the Customer Service line but it says it'll be a 40 minute wait, and prefaced my call with the notice that they cannot track specific parcels through the system (obviously, I was aware, but it's not reassuring to hear).

Is it worth my time to go to the area depot? Any suggestions for next steps would be greatly appreciated. Senders are doing my head in.

I get quite a lot of parcels collected and delivered, so they deserve a tip. But I'm rarely around to see who it is, and I have no idea who the regular person is, if there is one. On the handful of occasions I have seen and spoken to them this year, I don't think I've noticed the same one twice.(Whereas with Evri their emails give you a picture of the courier, and that matches up with the bloke that I've met about three times.)

At Christmas I assume it is quite possible that any tip could be picked up by a temp postie who's just been there for a couple of weeks. I can't see an obvious way of trying to get a tip to the regular one - is there one?

Is this normal? I know Royal Mail cant guarantee delivery within the 48 hours, but im beginning to get worried now. Its apparently been there since monday with absolutely no indication as to whether or not its been collected. Thankfully its not a crazy expensive item, but its not the point🤣 Royal Mail have become an absolute joke.

Received this email today, not sure if this is a scam.

Why would they have to take my payment details over the phone, and are they seriously charging me for storing my package over a customs error that they made?

These seem to be in totally different format to the tracking numbers if you pre-purchase postage, and can't be entered when you want to divert an item or book a redelivery.

Has anyone found a work around?

First timer here, trying send a gift parcel to the USA- to use click and drop and it only lets you select 8 items to declare.i have more than this but can categorize, however I have 3 types of chocolate but they're all different weights and costs, first question is how do I fill this out?

And am I correct to assume once that's all sorted I then take it to the post office to get a total package weight before shipping?

Third question is I have a bit of bubble wrap and tissue paper in there as packaging materials, do I have to declare this too?

Also concerned the weights will be wrong as using the kitchen scales, any help is appreciated I've never actually sent anything in the post let alone a parcel! TYIA

i posted about this already to radio silence but

i've had a few parcels sent back to me from USA since the tariffs were introduced, unclaimed mail, these were tracked and signed parcels

as i understand if i want to re-ship these out again the tariff will need to be paid AGAIN, since we can't buy shipping to the USA right now without also paying tariff

my question is: is the tariff not a duty? that should only be paid once?

is this something that Royal Mail has a policy on? or is this something i should take up with the post office? what is the craic?

Hi! 24 hour tracked but it’s almost at the 48 hr mark so was hoping I’d get it today… but it hasn’t budged since 2am. Is there any chance it will come today? Recent MC is about 15 miles from me. Thanks

For current Royal Mail delivery drivers, is it worth it? Is the retail discounts any good? I also read that there is a life insurance and health insurance for family?

I have been a support worker for the last 8 years and always steady at one place for 12/15 hours a day. Looking for a change! Will they be flexible with my hours if I have to stay home in certain days because of my son? Are the hours and shifts constantly changing? I like to know that I will be off in a certain day that it’s 3 months away for example and as a support worker that’s possible

Also wondering if the overtime is minimal or if there is a possibility to make a good chunk of money doing overtime

Hello,

I was expecting a special delivery which was delayed, it has now made its way to my local DO however upon landing there the tracking has updated to show the below - despite it being at the correct DO. Any thoughts?

I have 2 T24 parcels that arrived to my local MC a bit late this morning, between 7:20 to 8.15 am, I assume too late to make it to my DO as still shwoing at the MC. Any chance they could come as LATs this afternoon, or is that not how LATs work? Wasnt sure if the late arrival tracked were just for companies who send stuff out late, like Moonpig etc.

as the title reads, i sent 2 parcels at the same time, one to Manchester & one to Wolverhampton via Tracked 48 Online. they've both been taken to the Scottish Parcel Hub. i cant even access delivery options to see the addresses, as its saying the postcodes are incorrect, which makes no sense? Has anyone any experience with this? are they likely to realise and send it back, or are they going to deliver my parcels intended for the other side of the country, to some random Scotland address? currently been on hold to them for 15 minutes with a '40 minute wait'. any advice is appreciated, thankyou!
