fiveof Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I see why people are frustrated that it seems the backlog is not given priority, but also try and look at it like this.... If the backlog mail was given full priority, then the recent mail would have to get pushed back, causing that to be delayed also, then it would just "snowball" and even more recently posted stuff would get pushed back and delayed! Maybe they're keeping the most recent post moving to keep the delivery speed as good as it can be and adding the backlogged stuff to it as they go along. And before anyone asks, I'm not an envoy for Royal Fail and I am also waiting for stuff. It's just a thought....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blonde Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Is there still a back log of post as I have only been getting 1 letter a day and thought id have had more. Must just be unpopular! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.Rossi Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I think it's great all this backlog....got a card through on Saturday, went in Tuesday to collect and apparently it's still not back, thought I'd try again today and again, it's still not back, I'm sure it says 72 hrs not 72 days....This is also the Central office on Pond street that apparently isn't having any problems?

The PIT Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Now we had a few fresh flakes posties will be back in the office keeping warm. So expect bigger delays and xmas post around the spring melt in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crisps Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I went to collect a parcel from the Woodseats office this morning. Some people were very rude to the staff. One moron kept saying "This isn't acceptable!" over and over, as if he expected the staff to make his parcel appear from thin air. I really feel for the front line staff. They seem to be getting it in the neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretty_big Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I'm a postie and believe me I want to get peoples packets (parcels) out there but without sounding sarcastic it actually would be easier to find a needle in a haystack That is not a joke !! There's nothing your postie or even your local office can do as there's only so many hours in a day and so much man power royal mail can provide plus we can only take so much out with us......... Unfortunatly there's going to be some very dissapointed people this Xmas and especially if it snows anything a heavier than we've had today. Also as has been posted before DHL TNT Etc Have been hit even worse by the backlog as they couldn't get down side roads with the vans..... Solutions seem to be in demand but nobody has any !!
