So the reason this annoys me so much is I send a large number of international parcels via royal mail.
Whenever I send a parcel to a UK address, they simply scan it and that's that, all finished in around 3 seconds.
When I send a parcel internationally, they have to scan, then type in the name and first line of the address. I don't understand why this is necessary? Surely that information should be in the system already when they scan it?
This is quite a big pain for me as I send a large number of parcels to Japan, sometimes 15 in a day, and so it takes them even longer to type out because of the names being Japanese and so dificult for a native english speaker to type quickly. So a job that might take as little as 1 minute if they just had to weigh and scan them, often takes 20 mins or more.
Does anyone know why the system is like this? Or is there just no logic to it and it's just out of date?
I live in a scheme with junkies all around and the postman leaves my expensive delivery on my doorstep in full view of everyone. Absolute miracle I got home to it still being there!
Apparently there's a huge backlog of items stuck at our local distribution centre which should be cleared "in the next few days". That was a week ago. I'm at the end of my tether. Royal Mail are the least credible postal service in the UK right now, I'd even trust Yodel more with my packages these days.
In my old town I could only rely on DPD. This is very refreshing
This post brought to you by the polite but very overworked clerk at my local post office when I wanted to discuss an incorrect fee-to-pay notice. All sorted now, though I think I made the royal mail customer service phone agent have to google 'netherlands stamp codes'. (Last Saturday before christmas and the post office had just 2 staff visible, one of whom was assisting customers at the only functioning self-service machine.)
It’s rather a lot more expensive over 2kg (small to med size jump)
I’m in Woolwich and waiting for various things including a hospital appointment. It’s frustrating to say the least. Anyone else experiencing this?
Basically title, came into work on bank holiday as I need the money, manager walks over and apologies for the email. I ask him what email and he tells me he only needs me to work Sundays moving forward.. I said okay and just carried on sorting my parcels for the day but have had to pull up as it's sinking in now...
Obviously I won't sell any GME, I got this job to allow me to buy more shares, I'm just going to have to hustle for a bit as I'd already given away the Christmas presents I saved up for..
Need MOASS now more than ever but feeling positive about this week.
I know it's not really GME related so if you need to remove that's fine, I just haven't really got anyone to talk to and came here to vent.
But hey, it's Tuesday!!
