But they can't deliver what they have now over 6 days. Just another ploy to reduce mail volumes and scrap the USO.

RM are forcing the high price of postage on the public. A sneaky way of saying letter volumes are down. But they won’t increase the cost of parcel delivery will they? If anything I bet RM will reduce the cost of parcel delivery offset by the increase in letter postage. Just like household recycling at the end of the line it all goes in the same hole. Like first and second class mail. All in the same hole and we deliver when we get time, and managers pay the excess / overtime. Is there a difference between 1st and 2nd class? Either it gets delivered or it doesn’t

Perhaps we should still have cigarette girls in cinemas and gaslamp lighters walking the streets?... they're just as relevant as the 6 day letters USO in this day and age.

Some proper numpties on this thread. :arrrghhh

The difference is when they get dispatched from the outward MC to the inward MC:

1st Class: Processed on the day posted (Day 1) and sent to the inward MC overnight processed by the inward MC along with the 2C that was dispatched to the inward MC the previous day) and dispatched to the DO early morning (Day 2) and delivered on day 2

2nd Class: Posted day 1, processed during the morning of day 2 and dispatched to the inward MC around about 13:00 (don't know the exact time). Arrives at the inward MC during the night and is processed by the inward MC along with the 1C that's been posted on day 2. Delivered on day 3.

Basically the difference is built into when they're dispatched from the outward MC to the inward MC

I’m pretty sure he/she knows this and was making a point that in many offices, due to short staff- letters are all left for days in the frames whilst specials and tracked get priority. So it doesn’t mean anything if it’s first or second when the managers tell you to leave it and take the tracked and parcels.

Once the mail reaches the inward MC, EVERYTHING is then 1st class

Until it reaches the DO.

Still defrauding the public by charging 1st class prices
And no delivery spec difference
They nest in the frames with 2nd class ,dsa, and d2d
f***ing sham and RM should be prosecuted for it

Doesn't matter if it's the inward MC or the DO, by the time it reaches either it's ALL first class. 2nd class can't be failed in either the inward MC or the DO as it doesn't exist at that point
