Royal mail and the fall from something resembling a service.

RM took the bikes off the Posties recently. There was uproar. One hid his bike in the MIL's greenhouse (not an euphemism before you start) so he could continue to use it on his round which is many miles long.

What? Why?

I thought the Dutch letter losing service was called PostNL these days. They've been so busy changing their name umpteen times in the last 10 years that they've forgotten what they were actually set up to do.

Post.nl is THE postal company, but they can subcontract to other companies. Until 2012 it was TNT for packets, but now the mofos have started contracting on a daily basis to small one-man-van amateurs who haven't got a clue and are not willing to do the job properly. PostNL saves a lot of money this way but the peasants are not very happy. Just Google "slechte bezorging Postnl". They have already a couple of complaints of mine. Customers service in this country doesn't exist.

Anything sent by royal wail or parcel farce to cloggers seems to take an age, so if given the choice I'll opt for a courier service. TNT here are fecking useless. anything sent from Ireland seems to take no time at all, parcels or letters.

I've ordered a few items from Amazon Uk and they all arrived on time, apart from the fact that the couriers made a cockup of the delivery.

No, never.
