I've had mine for about a week now. Must be rogue sorting offices.

The postmen and women are shooting themselves in the foot. Losing public confidence is hardly conducive to job security. I think it's time someone provided an alternative.

There are alternatives, the likes of Business Post do it although they rely on the Royal Mail for final mile distribution.

However I have heard that TNT are looking at a complete end to end service, but obviously this would be a massive logistical nightmare. Securicor Omega was thinking about it years ago, when I worked for them, but at that time RM had the monopoly. Now they have been re branded as DHL that idea is all but out the window, as DHL are trying to get away from parcels completely, and move into road and rail freight.

Anyway, there was a piece of useless information

We need a postbox to mailbox alternative, competition is needed now.

A change, perhaps, to 'CUMBRIANMAIL' is on the cards.

One alternative is pdf format for download in the members area only.

Maybe the subsrciption rates could be altered to allow a cheaper rate for those who don't want hard copy.
