I'm not quite following this? In the first instance Royal Mail do NOT deliver mail that has to be signed for to PO Boxes, for obvious reasons......namely that there will be no one present to sign for it. I believe I'm right in saying guaranteed next day items need to be signed for....therefore how could they deliver the item. In fact I'm at a loss as to know who at Post Office Counters accepted the item knowing it was destined for a PO Box requiring a signature!
Exactly the point I made about five posts before yours. Do keep up!
Just reminding the young folk, that they used to be two post deliveries each day.
I think it’s worth remembering how many things are now much worse than before. All parks used to have Park Keepers on site keeping the open spaces clear of litter and making sure that yobs were not allowed to spoil the open spaces for everyone else. Now our municipal open spaces are often sacrificed to drinking and drug taking.
Our Royal Mail is top notch, one of many reasons to be proud to be English/British, I have never had an issue with its service, always delivers on time.
My missus is doing her nut because a parcel she posted from London to the Highlands with 'guaranteed 48 hour delivery' took a week. Disappointing and there will be a story about what went wrong but you have to put these things into perspective and hundreds of million of parcels and letters get delivered on time every year. I know for a fact that if one of the main national motorways is closed overnight and a Royal Mail lorry gets caught up, the knock on is obvious for first class post. RM operate to mitigate risk but the fact is their guarantee for next day delivery is only a very high likelihood,
