Why are people collecting these items. If it’s out of spec you don’t accept it. FFS. :no no

I would hope that customers wanting a collection will automatically get one from the relevant carrier, i.e RM or PF, when they input the weight of their parcel. :hmmmm
I think it'll be down to how much a 30Kg parcel is for PF compared with other couriers. If it's really expensive then I think RM would rather it stay with RM rather than risk losing traffic to other couriers
Anything over 20kg (excluding tracked 48 which is 30kg )
Will have to be sent PF or courier
Any items received over 20kg revenue protection inform the sender that they have to either collect the parcel from the mail centre or arrange for a courier to collect
Over time more and more stuff seems to be going Tracked. We're even starting to see a few letters and flats going as Tracked

Probably because it's the only product apart from SD royal mail deliver on time.

I reckon that if Tracked were made usable by everyone, not just businesses then the number of SDs would plummet drastically, probably a good few people only use it for the ability to track its progress throughout the system

That and the fact that you should receive the SD next day guaranteed. I used to work for a company who saved lots by stopping SD’s and using tracked instead.

Tracked is available to everyone.

You can now buy Tracked online and drop at PO branches, although they cannot sell it.

You really should just stick to posting Mail Centre stuff. Your ignorance of delivery is laughable. :Very Happy

That would be the big game changer if PO branches were allowed to sell Tracked

The number of SDs IS dropping, they've taken some more hours out the SD locker, and that's after they took hours out when the foreign SDs started going as Tracked

Simpleton prefers us to COLOD for Tracked. That way RM are not paying the PO any commission.
