Tossers the lot of them.

And yet all they say is that it will be with me in a few days, well I won't be needing it in a few days, I need it for Saturday morning.

Did they fund you any money for the loss by any chance

I will not put anything of importance in the post unless it is recorded delivery. This is the unfortunate state of the post in this country.

The service has it's faults, but I would rather keep Royal Mail than go private with ordinary letters costing upwards of a £1 to post.

Still, I can understand your frustration!

Cripple the postal unions and state-owned post systems are a lot more efficient. Amazon still use our post system here because its actually more reliable than most couriers, and is only a few % more expensive than Royal Mail; this is repeated in other European countries.

I remember when Royal Mail were meant to be very good though

Got my dollars there today - excellent service at the counter.

cant the club do a ticket by text thing? order by phone/online, get a unique order ref linked to a registered mobile. scan / show at the gate, easy in.

I do a fair amount of business via eBay with the UK, and find the RM's book and small parcel service, like the USPS's Priority Mail here, a very good deal, and 100% -- so far -- trouble free.

To be honest I'd rather pay a bit extra and know that everything's going to get delivered, I don't have time to chase every parcel which gets lost.

Registered post was insured up to £250 so got a new passport. It arrived 2 days before we went away!

given the problems the club has had sending out season ticket renewals (see Ask the Club), the extension of the deadline "because the ticket office is so busy", and the "franking machine problems" with the Christmas DVDs I wouldn't be too quick to blame the Royal Mail...........a bit like blaming the cleaners when something goes missing from the office.

To be honest, although Royal Mail are shit, the reason they are is because they are still so cheap. Unlike every other service their prices are still incredibly low so the fact that they deliver the amount that they do without problem is impressive.

If something is important I'd just send it recorded post, which is only a bit over a pound (probably about what you might pay if there were private delivers) and is pretty secure.

They still lost my passport though!!!

Don't worry we will be out on strike again soon, and you won't be getting any post.
Pensions this time, as it was 'taken off the table' during the last deal.
Unfortunately as pretty much everybody else has had their pension screwed over, they'll be no sympathy for our plight.
But that won't stop the Union and 40,000 scousers voting for it.

well worth ringing the ticket office and see if they will issue another ticket in replacement of the one sent, and then you can pick it up at the Leeds ticket office (hopefully) worth a try.

as ive said in a differant thread, we live along way from Brighton, but in the past we have had to pick our tickets up at the away ground, and it is the team / kit man who takes them up, you cant normally collect them before about 1.00pm though.

hurry before the team leaves this morning though!

Good luck

I think there's a very good chance you could be joined by rail workers striking over pensions this year as well.
