Now who is acting selfishly? Just because all some people get in the mail is a few bills that gives them an excuse to get out of paying that everyone else should have to make do.

Since your location is cockney geezer land I take it that means London, London have been striking on and off for several months on a completely unrelated issue. Because of this I could understand why you would be sick of this and why it seems never ending for you. My office and most others haven't been on strike since that 4 or 5 day fiasco about 18 months ago. And even now the vote was treated very seriously in my office though I think ours was a bit below the average with only half in favour (though still the majority).
And you do realise after the modernisation RM are going to try again on the privatisation of the mail system. When that happens domestic deliveries become optional. With RM being the only company really interested in doing it anywhere but big cities you may find you wont have a delivery any more (at least not daily).

Over the years I've been through the Royal Mail customer services route any number of times and complained until I'm blue in the face but the problem persists. I've also been in contact with Post-Watch many times and they eventually elevated the complaint within RM but each time there's a gap of a few months between issues they basically try to treat it like a totally new new complaint and refer you back to RM even though it's exactly the same problem and often the same people involved.  Domestic customers can't force RM to do anything and Post-Watch had no power to force RM to do anything either so the whole exercise of complaining was a waste of my time and money!
We recently had 2 Recorded Delivery items put through our door without being asked for a signature even though we were in at the time. I contacted Post-Watch hoping to link this event to my last complaint reference so as to avoid having to go through the whole rigmarole all over again... I got a recorded announcement to say Post-Watch no longer exists and referring me to yet another organisation with a nice snappy title (but equally soft rubber teeth when it comes to dealing with RM very probably) - Consumer Focus - I couldn't bring myself to go any further....  |
And how does ranting on a forum or screaming at the postman in the street any more effective?
