What a cheek.
In the last 12 months we have had cases of 3 letters (cards) being opened and 3 never reaching their destination. This has only happened when we have sent something to the Nottinghamshire or Birmingham area.
You ring the PO and inform them and.....nothing. Not a lot they can do I suppose except employ good honest staff.

I sent a pot of Devon cream home to IoS. Then was told, after it did not arrive within the 2 days alloted, that there was a postal strike in Exeter. The pot arrived after 9 days....The wife was going to put it in the bin, but it ran over and jumped in by itself.
No refund as the goods were delivered and we did not have the proof that the goods were damaged. We should not have thrown them away we were told!

More price rises for stamps, increased costs on letters, late services, cards arriving damaged or opened and they also close thousands of Post Offices.

What a joke the Royal Mail has become!

You folks must be paying more in stamps to help defray the cost of closing all the post offices in Scotland. Screwed again by Brits who look at you with thoughts of how many pounds they can make off of you. Theyve got you licked!
