A new tactic by the company: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-65099143

RM should never have been sold off.

The whole enterprise is an outdated dinosaur. Apparently, every time the company tries to update something, the unions have a hissy fit & nothing ever happens.

Dunno what's going on with the post lately, I sent my sis an Easter Card and she sent me one, neither have been delivered yet!

You'll get it time for Christmas!

Not had any recent issues with RM, but Amazon claimed to have handed me a package last Monday when they hadn't. It's the first time I've had this happen, but looking online it seems to be quite common. The bugbear was I had to wait 48 hours to get my money back, and as the item was quite expensive I wouldn't order another until I had the refund. And yes, they delivered everything today, Easter Sunday!

I've had a similar thing happen to me. I was waiting at home for a package to arrive, as the sender had sent the date of arrival. What the courier hadn't realised is that my living room window looks over the road I live on.

I saw the courier pull up, saunter to the back of his van, take out a parcel of about the size I was expecting, take a photo of my place, and get back in his van.

I managed to flag him down before he drove off. I got my delivery, and he got an earfull about only having to knock on my b****y door.

The couirer was DPD, which is usually reliable round my way.
