Royal Mail "Sorry you were out Cards" 1000's of angry customers

I have never had a single problem with royal mail, provide best service in my opinion. The staff at my collection office, on the odd occasion ive had to to go have always been friendly and cooperative if i had any questions. Citylink and dhl however are both useless useless lazy b**tards when it comes to delivering anything and cl have even lost a parcel, which was eventually found and delivered by the manager himself...admintently that was impressive but on the whole they are rubbish compared to royal mail and its other arm parcel force.

Errrm I'd have thought the answer was fairly obvious: postmen work an eight hour shift (with the first two or three hours spent sorting). That means that some post will be delivered early, some middling time, and some late.

That's happened to me before Whenever I ring up to arrange re-delivery it usually takes at least 10 tries before they actually answer their phone as well. I wasted a whole morning once trying to get through when I couldn't do it online.

One day last week the post didn't come until 7.30pm

I've had that before aswell.
My dad was expecting a package, but had to quickly rush to the shops, so I waited downstairs incase the postman came (as it was an important package). I sat in the living room, but nothing. My dad came back from the shops, saw the card on the floor and asked me why I hadnt answered the door.

I told him that there hadnt been a knock, I wasnt even aware the postman had been.
I know 100% that he didnt knock because my dogs go crazy when theres a knock at the door, and they didnt even move. Damn postmen.

Our post times vary. Some days you might have it before 9am, other times it might pop through the door at 3pm, you can never be sure.

at least they don't leave your ******* degree computer parcel on your doorstep for the whole ******* world to see.

never liked royal mail, never will. lost a couple of expensive electronics with them before as well, got about 30 quid off them. ******* piss take.

it needs to be privatised, because no one is giving a **** anymore. let's all use UPS

Must admit with UPS I've never had a parcel go missing, never had someone deny a parcel exists, never had UPS staff sign for something then stick it behind the bin - found the parcel after almost a week of rain when I went to put the bin out.
No trust in Royal Mail as it is.

Other companies at least can try and be efficient.

Ooh nice mechanism for finding out when ur upstairs or listening to music
