A shocking insight into how mail handled by most UK mail couriers.
Unbelievable shocking behaviour by most of the handling staff.

After seeing a clip I didn't dare watch the program.

It terrifies me stuff like this!
I've used a few of the private companies now, and the only one that have never let me down are TNT - the most expensive.
Hermes have let me down three times now and I just refuse to use them again. Twice I've been run around in circles regarding pick-up times, resulting in one parcel (sold on here) being almost 3 weeks late, and the third time I sent a couple of diecast models, 1:18 scale (approx a foot long) so a good size parcel. 7
It arrived in pieces!
Solid die-cast metal in two boxes with bubble wrap between the two boxes and around the outer before wrapping the lot in brown paper and it looked like it'd been dropped out of a plane. I have NO idea how the items sustained so much damage!
Well, I didn't until seeing that documentary...
Compared to the others, not really.
I would be heart broken if the RM went private.
In my student years I had a stint as a xmas temp working at RM, and although at times things could get really busy, there was a sense of responsibility to ensure mail was handled well.
I had to stop watching. The complete lack of respect for other peoples property was appalling.
Where do they get the inbreds who work for them? There are people in this country who would do almost anything for a proper job, and then there are these ignorant low life who so definitely do not deserve a job, or any benefits.
Get ready for new levels of efficiency, service and lower prices then. *
* Just kidding; it'll be a catastrophe.
Was it me or did i hear Frank Bruno in that warehouse/depot.?
nah, he didn't advise the reporter to 'Splash it all over' :-)
Unsurprising but shocking nonetheless. It's been going on for years unfortunately.
I noticed that some areas where they are privatising mail they only delivered every two days. What sort of service is that and why do locals accept this?
