WHEN AN ITEM SAYS FRAGILE, IT MEANS ITS FRAGILE.

HEAVY HANDLING = BROKEN.

6 wheel trims received - 3 broken in the post.  I am livid.

Got another two coming "apparently" first class today to arrive tomorrow.

Rant over but 2 and a half weeks Ive waited for damaged goods  :evil:

Tell me about it.  2 glass doors for my new unit so broken it was sand not fucking glass. Fucking cunts  :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:  :evil:

I always seem to end up with damaged goods  :|

Join the fucking club love, get to the back of the queue

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

There's a queue? Ace, that could explain a lot.

Don't push in then!  :wink:

It must be just the mongy postman around Swindon :D

Never had a problem down here.

birdy why send glass in post? It never gets in one piece dude

To be fair they've been coming from Southampton so god knows which mongs have been handling it on the way.

Having a wheel trim missing annoys me beyond belief and the ones in halfords are completely gash.

We have never had a problem with deliveries in Chard either but I have sent some things up to Liverpool and every envelope has been slit to see if there is any money in the envelope, help subsidise thier income I recon!

Damaged goods
Send them back
I can't work
I can't achieve
Send me back
Open the till
Give me the change
You said would do me good
Refund the cost
You said you're cheap but you're too much
Your kiss so sweet
Your sweat so sour
Sometimes I'm thinking that I love you
But I know it's only lust
The change will do you good
I always knew it would
You know the change will do you good
You know the change will do you good

all packets and parcels in the backlog caused by the current strikes are being sorted by casual staff provided by agencys.this is to stop posties getting overtime during the dispute.

The catelogue sent it not me. bloody useless.

Not like the Ipod - that was lovingly wrapped by gays  :soapy tit wank:

To make things worse, my ebay gimp of a retard seller is now claiming he has sent me the goods whereas he hasn't at all as received nothing.  Im praying this is him being a conman rather than me having to contact royal mail again  :groan1:

chances are its stuck in the backlog lady

But I ordered these before the wheel trims and had 2 lots of wheeltrims and nothing else!

*whinges*

i'd ring royal mail then

I just had a post man come in, he dropped a special delivery parcel on the floor, made me chuckle after reading this.  They must break loads

I blame Ralphy.

I think they break ridiculous amounts to be honest.  They seem to be so heavy handed with everything!

mail centres are supposed to be on strike tomorrow, i'd be surprised if any packetpost got delivered.

If you saw how we sort packets you would never post anything ever again.

You basically have a frame with 40 or 50 bags hanging down and you toss the packets into the correct bag for that round.

Parcels are sorted onto a shelf.

You know that bloke that worked for Argos and got sacked for slagging them off on facebook...  :D

Ha, i'm just telling it how it is.

Not very clever then as they'll end up with twice the amount of deliveries due to replacements for damaged goods!

Yep.

Thats Royal Mail for you.

It is if it puts their OT hours up

 :mrgreen:

Ralph mate id delete those posts to be safe.  Only needs one prick to be a twat and email a link

Too late :D

whats the e-mail address  :D

Here it is:

[email protected]

Um explain what i've said wrong??????

I just said the packets are sorted into drop bags, which they are!

nowt wrong, just slating the company you work for could in a stupid pathetic way end you up in trouble

I've already posted a complaint to them by post. I doubt it will get there in one piece though  :D

and that as opposed to posting it by...?

By email, 3rd party courier, carrier pigeon?

Didn't send it to Liverpool did you ?

strikes have been called off now btw

Lazy fuckers can't even be bothered to strike!

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Well I fitted my trims anyway last night and they look ace (well thats my opinion as you lads with alloys will probably take the piss).  I also got my paypal refund so I dont need to scream at Royal mail.  Happy Days! \ :D /

To be honest, anyone who buys anything that could easily break in the post should use a Courier.

Quite

I note these communist cunts are going on strike again on the basis that senior management thinks that losing £4m a week may be slightly unsustainable.

Of course once employed by the royal mail you are entitled to a job for life because we are still living in the late 70's

Privatise the post office and open up the whole postal industry to the free market. People will lose jobs, but thats just a fact of life. loss making Industries cant be propped up forever just to provide employment.

Thanks to the 'communist cunts' striking again, I'll have no work to do tomorrow, Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday next week.

\ :mrgreen: /

It cost me an extra fiver to get my waterproof casing (For my leg, so I can shower) delivered this morning, just because those grasping cunts are striking.

Ordered loads of DVDs and books off Amazon as well, fuck knows when I'll get them.....................

I'm waiting for a book too, 3-5 business days 3 days ago....

Wonder how long it'll take.

Thank god I paid my credit card online rather than send a cheque. (I normally use cheque if I'm sulking about paying it)

I am waiting on a DVD from play.com about 2 weeks ago!

Damn I used play as well.

Fucking hell just ordered some stuff on Amazon and a new phone, fuckers.

Amazon dumped Royal Mail a few months ago, so you're likely to get it via a courier.

Play.com uses RM, so it's sit and wait....

Phew

Fucking joke the lot of them and to rub it all in if you are on strike you are intilled to claim benfits income support, counilc tax rebate, etc etc when I was pissed last firday after a works lunch I had a chat  with a union rep who was a right liberal twat as you can image my right wing views didn't go down well! he was banging on about how unfiar it is that when one of his colluges is off sick he had to do there work. Chirst this is what the  rest of the world has been doing since forever but apprantly not at royla mail cunts cunts Our conversation only lst 10 mins but we both left with pure hatered in our eyes.  But i can assuure you that will be the last time he hands out lefty leaflets outside mk train station again! :fu:  :fu:  :fu:  :fu:

I had my cash card nicked at the weekend and can't get to the bank until Saturday to withdraw any money.  If it doesn't turn up today I'm going to have to start catching and eating hedgehogs.

My change jar is already down to a handful of Euros and an assortment of bizzare notes.  Where's that Ralph character?

maybe royal mail staff dont want to strike at all and been driven to it by ridiculous proposals from higher management?
their pension funds are being decimated,cuts in earning potential,forced into flexible hours, ect,ect.
posties dont earn big money,so most rely on their partners jobs to fund the household income.how are these people going to manage child care ect when they are being shoved into different hours week by week?

the problems in royal mail are not caused by the workforce either its poor management decisions and wasted investments using royal mail profit that is to blame.
if royal mail didn't exist the cost of delivering anything would go through the roof

no one makes them work there if they don't like it get another job and let some polish chap work there. as for pension I'd lvoe one of thoise!

Not completely true.

TNT pick the mail up from Amazon but guess who still delivers it  :mrgreen:

It's called 'downstream access'. Alot of companies use UK Mail, DHL and TNT to post their mail but Royal Mail are paid by these carriers to deliver them.

For the record, I have never and never will strike.

No I dont think that the free market would be the answer to all problems, but at least that way the taxpayer dosnt foot the bill. and as for public transport, yes its shit so I avoid it. Is it any better or worse than when it was nationalised as BR though? I dont use it enough to have a valid opinion in either way

The royal mail is becoming less and less relevant in the digital age. less and less buinesses are using them anyway so I would'nt shed any tears or suffer any inconvienice at all if the whole thing just shut down.

As for the staff, they seem to be stuck in some union-based era wherby they seem to think that all change is bad and that they should be rewarded for offering a public service. The reason many of them are not highly paid is that they are reletivly low skilled. I dont mean that to be patronising but I dont see why mail sorters should be paid any more that the going rate for warehouse operatives especially given some of the benifits they recieve.

On that subject, the one bit of sympathy I have for them is their pensions. Whilst they are very generous by todays standards, I think its out of order that a long term employee should have his pension payments cut at this stage, when they have been promised more for 10/20 years etc.  By all means offer new employees a less generous scheme though.

Well said.

I'd also add that this is unbelivable short-termism on behalf of the unions.

No post delivered for a week - Its not going to come as a suprise that its going to lose the RM business in the long run and bring about the end of the organisation as we know it sooner rather than later.

if agree then you should be out with your fellow workers.hopefully you will benefit from their strike action results.

well pay into one like the posties do then!

If they sacked all those boring postmen and replaced them with an army of post delivering midgets then I'd happily pay up to £2 for a normal letter. Imagine loads of midgets waddling along delivering your letters. It would be the greatest thing ever.

I would pay into a penison if I could post the bloody applaication form!

 :mrgreen:

If they could reach the letterbox............

do it online or over the phone or even go into a bloody office and do it :wink:

If it was just about pay then i wouldn't be out on strike, personally i wish we weren't on strike but we've been forced into it by the stupid proposals of Mr Crozier and Mr Leighton.

Stand up, all victims of oppression
For the tyrants fear your might
Don't cling so hard to your possessions
For you have nothing, if you have no rights
Let racist ignorance be ended
For respect makes the empires fall
Freedom is merely privilege extended
Unless enjoyed by one and all

So come brothers and sisters
For the struggle carries on
The Internationale
Unites the world in song
So comrades come rally
For this is the time and place
The international ideal
Unites the human race

Let no one build walls to divide us
Walls of hatred nor walls of stone
Come greet the dawn and stand beside us
We'll live together or we'll die alone
In our world poisoned by exploitation
Those who have taken, now they must give
And end the vanity of nations
We've but one earth on which to live

And so begins the final drama
In the streets and in the fields
We stand unbowed before their armour
We defy their guns and shields
When we fight, provoked by their aggression
Let us be inspired by life and love
For though they offer us concessions
Change will not come from above

You have a wide music taste I see sonic?
