CWU : Reports of Royal Mail issuing local instruction not to deliver letters

[theotherone]

OFCOM must know what's going, or at least could know if they bothered to ask anybody.

Have OFCOM given them some leeway like in the Covid era because of IA? So they don't care but no fine will be incurred.

What a sorry state of affairs this company has become. Run on a shoestring for far too many years.The ones that walked before him ALL have a hand in this, Thompson is but the cherry on the cake !!!....and the sourest at that.

If these orders were issued from monday then it is perfectly correct and inline with the directive to the public RE last posting date for 1st class fri 16th dec.

It is quite correct that this week only Tracked and SD will be delivered.

THEY WERE TOLD

They were maybe told
But they were still charged the full price for a service they are not going to get
It’s basically fraud on a massive scale

Send a message to lord Michael Grade via the house of lords.
He is the chair of OFCOM. And you do, did get a response.

Our managers have had a sudden change of direction last few days and told us to do as much mail and tracked as we can and bring back what cant be done - even if its tracked parcels

Must have got wind that this investigation was coming

It's wilful delay because they are making you take everything out without resourcing the actual delivery of the letters which are days, if not weeks, old, They'll get their bonuses though.

If there's insufficient capacity to deliver letters and parcels before Christmas then is makes sent to me to just deliver the parcels etc, personally I'd be far more annoyed if a present didn't arrive than just Christmas cards or the usual junk mail.

What about a hospital appointment or credit card?

Ive had a few people ask me for credit cards, I waded through my trays and found them! No Xmas tip though so I shouldn't have bothered... Only kidding! nice people.
So I was glad to help.

It's great security when you have 5 days of mail in the frame and the credit card is sitting next to the pin letter.
I got a new Sainsbury's credit card last week, with a letter saying your pin will follow in the next few days. I'd already got it 2 days before!

Still telling us to do parcels before mail ,one walk in our office letters haven't been delivered for 8 days with 14 boxes of mail under the bench.

Yes, fruad does come to mind especially when your pretending that the strikes are causing the back log, which they are to some extent.

Customers are being duped into thinking that a 1st class letter will arrive the next day and in fact could take a week or two because they are deliberately delaying the mail and the public don't even know it.

An investigation has to be brought to light, and If not then something's wrong with the whole system of having a regulator.

Post a message to lord Michael Grade.
He responds for now.
If we tell him enough, he will get tired and investigate.
Lord Michael Grade is the
Chair of OFCOM
Tell him what you know.

Fraud on a big scale.Wilful delay of mail on a big scale. People have paid for their mail to be delivered in a reasonable time scale not hidden away somewhere.If you bought a Rolex in the jewellers and got home and found they had swapped it for a fake that fraud. No different to buying a first class stamp and receiving a fifth class service.

[Murdoch]

One of the reasons Royal Mail are so brazen with their disregard for delivering letters, is because the regulator has been a soft touch.
