Do you mean that downstream access is an example of a competitor outsourcing delivery to RM? I guess you could argue that - but why do they do it?TrueBlueTerrier wrote:Down stream access ?.

If a new owner moves mail from the most costly part of the operation which is the final mile which is not part of the USO and then gets it delivered cheaper on £7.10 per hour you don't think they would consider it ! Of course they will !
Why would RM outsource delivery, our main competitive advantage? If TNT ever have a delivery operation that rivals the scope of RMs and at a cheaper price we won't need to outsource non USO business, they will win it anyway and keep all the profit.
