TikTok Shop and Temu strengthen logistics networks by signing with Royal Mail and La Poste

To accelerate European markets, TikTok Shop and Temu signed agreements with the leading postal operators in France and the United Kingdom.

Behind paywall, more to come no doubt...just like the parcels.

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.

Some of the TikTok parcels were awfully heavy, Pepsi bottles and similar.

Why are you two dragging down an interesting article posted by Postman and making things personal? It's really annoying. Grow up, both of you.

Yes, I know this is an old thread, but it stopped receiving posts because you can't discuss things without resorting to name-calling and backbiting. This behaviour drives people away from RMC.

If you can't debate without insults or trollish behaviour, start using the friend and foe feature.

End of angry personal rant.

What is the TicTok shop, I assumed it would be items shown in TikTok videos, not just bottles of coke and the like??

It's a lot of the tat like you can get on Temu and Aliexpress etc, the crap we deliver to the same houses day after day, they must just sit on their phones/laptops ordering all day

I wondered this too. It could have been shipments of crack cocaine for all I know, based on observing the behaviour of its users.
The machine stops.
