Royal Fail greed
Just posted out some stuff and what cost £1.65 on Friday cost a pound more today per item.
So don't be suprised by expensive post and packaging cause it is expensive.

That's inevitable when they've under priced and valued the service for so long, bound by regulation and government weight.

Yep, kicked themselves in the teeth I reckon.
I do mailings (for Sunbeam MCC) as I organise marshals for a few events, and have always sent out around 80 letters a year. As soon as PO announced
price increases I told every marshal on my list to give me an email address as no more snail mail.
So when they previously got forty odd quid, they now get nowt. And I reckon this'll be repeated everywhere.

Certainly will. I posted a while back about business postage options after we ditched our franking machine at work. We ended up investing in a new
module for our back office (SAGE) system allowing us to email all orders and invoices direct from the system. 100+ letters a week stopped over night.

The Irony is, that if the service worked and there werent so many "Fat Cats" and more front line staff, people would pay it. Its a bit of
a wee take to hike prices like this with no hint of service improvement, only the suggestion that the top nobs arent getting the margins in.

Wake up guys there is a long term conspiracy going on to put the Royal Mail out of business.
The Royal Mail does a pretty good job with the exception of some areas such London where the quality of some the local work force is abysmal this
is due pay v cost of living issues ie: pay peanuts get a workers that steal or can't read English or just don't care. We send a lot
of mail none of it ever goes missing except when sent to London post codes.
We are told that Royal Mail only survives because of junk mail contracts.
The Royal Mail has built a vast infrastructure up to deliver junk mail at below cost price.
The solution get rid of the junk mail and we need a much smaller Royal Mail to efficiently deliver real letters and small packets ie. the ones
that actually pay.
