For anyone that has mail or parcels delivered.
Discussion
Would you be happy if your mail was delivered between midday and five and your parcels were delivered between midday and 7pm?
Thats the current proposal, which would mean 2 posties coming to your address at the times specified, but if they couldn't deliver the parcels to you or your neighbour then they would go back to the nearest parcel hub for you to collect which could mean a 40 mile round trip for some or a redelivery but you'd have to stay in all day to make sure you got it.
Does that matter to anyone if they did this?

Presumably you don't have many recorded delivery letters so that takes care of that, how would you like parcel force to play it?

The Royal Mail are in desperate need of modernisation.
I ordered a parcel that got sent a week early, appeared straight on the the Royal Mail app, it was a 48 hour delivery and unlike other services you can’t say I won’t be in, don’t delivery so a wasted trip For the driver.
I really don’t mind what time the mail turns up at, lockers etc are the way forward for deliveries.

Surely the postie attempts to leave it with a neighbour if your not in so it's not a wasted trip .I ordered a parcel that got sent a week early, appeared straight on the the Royal Mail app, it was a 48 hour delivery and unlike other services you can’t say I won’t be in, don’t delivery so a wasted trip For the driver.

I think the longer term plan from Rico is to get shot of the uso then just turn royal mail into a parcel delivery company .Thats the current proposal, which would mean 2 posties coming to your address at the times specified, but if they couldn't deliver the parcels to you or your neighbour then they would go back to the nearest parcel hub for you to collect which could mean a 40 mile round trip for some or a redelivery but you'd have to stay in all day to make sure you got it.

Royal Mail are a pain, why can’t they just leave parcels at a nominated secure location like all the couriers etc. If the same product is at a store that uses Royal Mail And one that uses say, DPD, I will use the store that ships via dpd.
They can/do .On amazon you can specify a safe place for them to leave your parcel and this get's printed on the address label on the parcel.
Or you can go old school and actually talk to your postie or leave a note asking them to leave it in a shed or wherever .

I try to avoid buying when delivery is via RM.

Re amazon you the customer have to specify the safe place and add it to your account before you even order the parcel so that is royal mails opt out of any claims .
If you stick a note up on the door saying leave it in a shed then we take a pic using the pda showing where the item is left and the note .
I deliver to a pretty rural area though so i appreciate that it's probably a different game delivering a urban/city location .
Dear Postman, please feel to deliver my junk mail anytime you like, in fact I am considering putting my recycle bin out the front so you can cut out the middle man.
Parcels come at anytime anyway and they either leave them with a neighbour or we collect from the local depot about 6 miles away.

I’ve just recently closed down my website but we always used Royal Mail for deliveries even though it was slightly more expensive.
In 17 years I could count on the fingers of one hand the number of orders not delivered (from several thousand sent)
Sorry but I’d support Royal Mail against any competitor.
It’s investment they need not the opposite.
