Royal Mail Strike Again
On 1st October I orderd a rear light from Cyclexpress. When it hadn,t
arrived after a while I e-mailed them a couple of times. I was told it had been posted. In any case they sent a replacement which arrived soon thereafter. Today the postie comes to the door with another Cateye LD600. I ordered it on 1/10/03. Postmarked 2/10/03. Arrived 11/12/03. Iain PS I,ll either mail it back to them or more likely contact them and buy it for one of the kids bikes. |

My experiences with items delivered by Royal Mail have been 100% good. I would expect the occasional item to go astray, no service can be 100% and the complexity of Royal Mail's operations is immense. ___ Michael MacClancy |

Fair enough, but it's the items *not* delivered that I've had problems with :-/ (I can hardly blame the Royal Mail for the Telewest bills, they didn't get delivered because Telewest didn't address them correctly. But my wife's never forgiven the Royal Mail for the knickers that they failed to deliver). I would expect the occasional item to go astray, no service can be 100% and the complexity of Royal Mail's operations is immense.

As with so many things it depends whose figures you rely on. Royal Mail says that it loses or misdelivers 280,000 items per week. This is an error rate of 0.07%. They also manage to deliver about 15 million incorrectly addressed letters a week. This doesn't include the eight million letters a day which have no postcode or an inaccurate one. ___ Michael MacClancy |

Tony What was incorrect in the address? The house name/number? The reason I ask is that the house name/number and full postcode are (supposedly) sufficient to identify the delivery point. Although I can believe that Royal Mail would place a greater reliance on the written address being correct than the postcode. ___ Michael MacClancy |

Although I can believe that Royal Mail would place a greater reliance on the written address being correct than the postcode. Everything is correct except the village name is missed out and just the local major town there (its junk mail that has it wrong so I have no interest in contacting them to correct it!). The post code refers to a single road of three houses. The envelope always arrives with lots of scribble on of "Not Village A, try B" "Not B either try ....". Yet a simple post code check would tell immediately where it was supposed to be delivered. Its not just a one off either as it happens every time to this particular junk mail which takes 1 week to 2 months to arrive depending on how circuitous the route round the local villages is. Tony |
