Jersey Post axes Saturday deliveries

Postal services in Jersey are being cut to five deliveries per week, with no deliveries on Saturday.

Jersey Post is also cutting the number of collections.

The company said it was facing similar pressures to other postal services around the world with fewer letters being sent.

The number of letters and other types of mail is falling due to the increased use of email, and that means lower revenue for the post office.

From Tuesday the collection service from roadside post boxes and sub-post offices will change.

The 1230 BST collection will remain, but there will no longer be a general island-wide collection at 1730 BST and the Saturday collection will also be reduced.

To compensate, Jersey Post will carry out a late collection from 44 post boxes around the island.

By curtailing the service further, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

More people are forced to seek alternatives and volumes decline yet still more. A constant spiral downwards until rock bottom is reached.

Crazy,plus those collection times don't help the public especially businesses.

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.
