Why Royal Mail never have this useful tool?

Post by kim1715 »

Came across this post box finder tool on shiply.com, a website I've been using to find cheap couriers for eBay items:

http://www.shiply.com/postbox-finder.php

Such useful application which we as customers would expect Royal Mail to have on their website.

It would but that site is incomplete I typed a post code for my round and my house and they were wildly out for the nearest. Although the ones they did find are accurate.

This one seems more complete http://www.dracos.co.uk/play/locating-postboxes/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Wrong for my home.
Wrong for my SPDO.
Wrong for the main Delivery Office.
And wrong as it still includes rural boxes stolen for the scrap value. :sad:

Wrong here too, and actually takes me to the next local town instead of my own :roll: It is a rather good idea though in all fairness.

Just tried the other links too, and guess what, next town. Even though there is one about 3 streets away :roll:

It wasn't very close for the first one - and the other options were increasingly bizarre.
Useless.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
