Saturday Mail May Be Scrapped? Would You Miss ?

Nope not at all don't normally get Saturday post

I remember when we used to get two a day but now lucky one a week. The other day we had a load come on one day, looked like they had stored it up.

This is the equivalent of Wagon Wheels skrinkflation. You end up paying more for a smaller inferior product. Stamp prices will still continue to rise.

Typical, they will deliver less but prices will still go up as always, so basically 2nd class would be nearly a week or more if you purchased on a Wednesday for example , second class takes forever anyway in our area

I'm not bothered - seems like a lot of Saturday mail is junk anyway so won't make any difference.

If a 5 day delivery week is guaranteed then that’ll be a better service for us.

We used to get post twice a day. Presently, we get post once a day, after lunch time. Now they want to cut out Saturdays? What will come after that, post every other day? Where will it all end.

Very rare you get post delivered on a Saturday, but I do see Royal Mail drive around delivering parcels every day. When the postman delivers the post, it has a lot of junk mail most days which goes straight into the recycling bin.

Royal mail is unless anyway they lose parcels and post

The main mail I get it pizza leaflets and that gets filed in the bin. Not having a. Saturday delivery would mean 1 less job I guess for me

We haven't had a regular reliable Saturday Post service in my area for a few years now, thou I get so little actual post each week now that it doesn't bother me at all.

Royal Mail is shareholder owned and I think one of the big owners is a Czech billionaire (I might have remembered wrongly). They are facing huge legal and compensation costs because of all the false criminalisation and imprisonment of so many people and of course they stole money from them that they never owed. No doubt some compensation will come from Fujitsu and sadly perhaps general taxation but a huge part will be on the Royal Mail itself. They had that extremely expensive strike recently which added to their debts and now these legal costs etc so they will be looking to save costs, get rid of staff and reduce services. Looks like they had £1.5 billion of debt last year partly caused by the strike but mostly historic.

Of course the increase in postage costs might be annoying to consumers but can be really damaging to businesses perhaps companies that specialise in selling small items that would be almost exclusively shipped by Royal Mail rather than other couriers.

It'll be a shame and more stressful for the posties doing the rounds. They will have extra mail on a Monday. Feel fir thise living on their own. The posties are someone they see regularly and maybe the one person they get to know snd maybe that person who would raise an alarm if they weren't seen for days as you get to know the routine
