They won't offer EVRs on the basis of TNT taking work away from us. However, if the drop in traffic means Royal Mail want to have a revision then it may be possible.

2 EVRs in our office. We have been hit by TNT although I'm not 100% they are a direct result of the competition.

Hardly delivering any Amazon compared with what we used to - and now TNT have tendered for the Graze deliveries and taken those off us - based on my walk, that would be 200 packets a week in my office to regular subscribers. Hope they get their lunches on time !!!
There is no doubt that TNT will make an impact - I see a lot of familiar envelopes in porches that they now deliver - plus they are doing mags, catalogues and small plastic wraps.
We wish to serve - but we will not be servile
