what? you can send a letter to Aberdeen and it'll get there (most of the time) within about 3 days all for 50p. there is a cheaper service, stick it in a bottle an lob it off the pier, not as reliable but cheap as chips (not the WSL ones)

Just out of interest, how far do you reckon you could get your own 1st Class letter for 60p?

i find couriers are often a bit rubbish. I apid for next day delivery once to get there for a birthday (i know partly my fault for leaving it late) and their tracking said out for delivery all day until 9pm at which point it changed to back in depot. I called tehm and they tried to claim that no-one was in despite being in all day. it then took them to the next evening about 7pm to deliver it 
This wasn't royal mail.
Also at work we get a delivery using another "speciaist" courier every week shipped at fridge temperature and the samples are worth about £1.5k and this is all correctly documented. One time they froze the parcel and destroyed it and despite admitting full liability they refused to reimburse us due to some small print basically negating the value of the shipment.

Speak to you local delivery or call 08456112640.
The Special Delivery Service is RM flag ship, no office should drop below 100% success.
Occasionally 'shit happens', but that's not your problem and you will be compensated accordingly.

Personal invitation to watch the level 2 manager being garrotted for incompetence
That is how it should be, as there's no excuse for failure.Personal invitation to watch the level 2 manager being garrotted for incompetence
The thing with Royal Mail, if you live anywhere other than a city centre you will most definitely miss us when were gone.
In 4 years time (1 year for privatisation and 3 further years for the service guarantee) I'll be bouncing these threads for all the people complaining about RM.

If RM adopts the new USPS approach to mail delivery we're all ****ed

As another RM employee - this.
Enlighten me.
I don't think some of my colleagues have adopted decimalisation, yet.

Cluster boxes where the entire street goes to pick up their post from instead of it being delivered through the letter box. In the US they've stopped conventional delivery to any new build properties by dropping the post off in a cluster box and eventually want to extend this all addresses nationwide where they previously delivered to the kerbside or through the door.
There are people in my office who's delivery could be reduced to 4 drops, and they'd still walk back into the office 5 mins before the end of shift.
In January the US said they would be stopping Saturday deliver.
Bringing it in this month.
Saving $1billion a year

USPS can achieve further massive savings with cluster boxes (costed at $160 per address per annum against $350 per address per annum delivering to the door or kerbside)
i think you'll find if you read the small print that you are not entitled to anything as the item was delivered and not lost or damaged. the only person who is liable to receive compensation is the sender who is only entitled to their money back as the service although delivered was not delivered within the agreed time period.
