“Worst service ever so not trust these incompetents ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 21/01/2024

Sent a parcel with tracking that contained handmade items to a charity. They failed to even get it to the depot success Given the total lack of tracking! Claimed but the y rejected my compensation. Asked for guidance several times on what evidence to provide for future parcels but they just continually stated they would not change their decision. I wasn’t asking them to change the decision, just help me for the future!!! So will not trust them with my parcels going forwards ax they are totally incompetent and don’t give a (insert expletive) about their customers!

“Shocking overpriced service. No compensation for lost...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Chaseor307 on 20/12/2023

I am a small business owner who makes a small profit on each product I sell. I chose royal mail special delivery guaranteed before 1pm the next day at a premium cost of £9.50 to post an item to a client on the 25 October. It never arrived. No explanation given. It takes an hour to speak to someone just to be told that there are issues with South midland dc and that I have to wait 10 days to claim compensation up to the value of £750. The item that disappeared cost me £100 and I sold it for £115. The claims department is manned by people who can't be arsed to review what's been sent. I sent proof of delivery. Proof of the cost of the products I use to make my product and proof of the transaction. That's not good enough for royal mail. After 2 months of toing and froing I have received £9.50. I had to replace the item that royal mail lost. So I'm out of pocket. DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE. EVRI PROVIDE A MUCH SUPERIOR SERVICE FOR A FRACTION OF THE COST. I am pursuing royal mail for misselling a service in the small claims court.

“Poor online service”

★★☆☆☆

written by Hutchisonkh278 on 14/12/2023

I arranged online for a parcel to be picked up from my home with a postage label and to be delivered to its destination. Fee £5.49 All ok I thought. I stayed in on the day waiting for the collection. The postman came shoved some letters through the door rang the bell and legged it before I could open the door, I went outside but there was no sign of him, When I checked my post there was a loose label in it thst I needed to place on my parcel. WHY DIDN'T HE PICK UP THE PARCEL ? I took it to the nearest Post Office myself the following day. I told the staff there what had happened, they were appaled !

“They never knock ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Emmasutts on 25/10/2023

On a number of occasions when I’m receiving special delivery’s, the postman/woman decide not to knock to see if I’m home to sign for my parcel that I’ve been waiting in for. No , they just pop a note through the door to say sorry we missed you. I mean what is that about? I don’t understand why they DONT knock to see if I’m home !! Paying extra for postage and having to free up my day for a delivery for them NOT to knock. It’s a joke !

“Bad delivery service ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Brice100 on 05/10/2023

Bad delivery service, missed a delivery once because I went to work had to reschedule another delivery but they didn’t deliver. Later reschedule to be sent to a post office near by, they failed to deliver to the post office on time had to call the office of the situation they assured if they can’t deliver to post they will send directly to my address but they never did. Cooking up lies for past 2weeks about my item like is missed or damage by them.

Recently we waited 6 days for a first class postage paid delivery, the service is shocking and needs to be back in Govt control. No doubt shareholders are trousering profits as with all sold of companies. ABSOLUTE DISGRACE.

“Misconduct, Misdelivery, Bad Cheques. Bad Support”

★☆☆☆☆

written by wmCastro291 on 23/09/2023

Misconduct, Misdelivery, Bad Cheques and Bad Support One star is too much. They should be shut down. Over the last 30 days I've had to spend 6 hours on the phone with royal mail over a variety of issues. 2 seperate complaints about the misconduct of a postman at my house. 2 parcels go missing. 1 parcel sent back to me the sender without attempting delivery. 1 Reimbursement cheque made out in the wrong name so I can't cash it. 3 Assurances the cheque will be reissued, yet when I called today the support agent said that it had not even been requested. Last month I was in bed asleep and a postman shouted through my bedroom window "oi do you want this parcel or not" I told him it's not my parcel and I don't appreciate you looking into my window and shouting at me" we went back and forth repeating the same lines, despite the parcel not being for me. He finally walked away, shouting loudly that im a [censored]head. I complained and 30 days later received an email that said in short "sorry won't happen again". This would have been a tolerable response had it not been for a repeat of the incident a week later, the same postman came back and woke me up by shouting at my neighbor, the posite said "ill blacklist the address if you don't take the parcel" and again the parcel was not addressed to the person he was speaking to, this time it was mine so I flew out, took the parcel, and told him what I thought of him and to just put a red slip through next time. RM sent me a reimbursement cheque with the wrong name on it so I can't cash it, and when I reported the error, 3 consecutive 'support' agents over the sapce of 2 weeks failed to request the cheque be reissued, I was assured again today that it will be reissued. So far, Royal Mail have not solved a single one of my complaints. I escalated the complaints and received an email assuring me I would get I response in 24hrs, its been 72hrs and still nothing. I have submitted a SAR (Subject Access Request) to RM CS so they can provide me with copies of there documentation and remediation of the complaints raised. I'm going to escalate with the Postal Redress Scheme, Ombudsman and my Local MP. Anyone else facing similar issues with RM should do the same as they are contravening the service agreement they have with you.

“No point using app ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Andyc123456789 on 06/09/2023

I was expecting a parcel today as I was going to be home to receive it, unfortunately at 6 am I got called into work so I went on their app to change my delivery to “leave at the post office” However when I got home later it had been left with a neighbour who has since gone back home to Scotland before I arrived home (her mother has passed away and she comes back home periodically until she decides what to do with the house…..she won’t be back in my neighbourhood until Christmas…….!!!!!!!! The Royal Mail operated said they reserve the right to deliver to neighbours, so why have an app to “change” it…..shoddy system shoddy company……. Oh and even if you’ve been waiting for your call to be answered for an hour….you get cut off at 8pm…..no exceptions…….totally useless customer service.

“Beware they took my expensive package and didn’t...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Frauk on 20/06/2023

Beware they took my expensive package and didn’t even bother to search it they don’t give you any information about it and at the end they just pay small amount as a compensation after that. After reading a lot of reviews on them I think it’s a strategy by there own workers they take your expensive package with out sending it and when you claim they just pay like 50£ even if your package worth a lot more than that like in my case more than 500£

“Royal Mail should be disbanded; their service is terrible”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Southwest64 on 15/06/2023

I found out in a post office from a counter assistant that 1st class post no longer means NEXT DAY delivery, or possibly even the day after that! If you're lucky, Royal Mail may not lose your precious items. I cannot stand the appalling service being offered. I had to use it once recently, but never again. There are no words to describe the ignorance of services offered I found in most assistants - not all. There are hardly any counter assistants - is this because after years of being paid to stay at home and do nothing, there is no longer any work ethic left (except the excellent work ethic shown by our emergency services - thank you!), or because the few who are willing to work recognise what a useless institution Royal Mail is to work for, as well as to use? The queues in my area post office yesterday were massive - out of the door and down the road. Several people in the queue said they'd tried three times that day to get served, given up, and come back a further two or three times before deciding to brave the queue. I myself heard the one counter assistant give out information that I knew to be wrong, and in two different post offices that day (I was desperate to get several items posted yesterday - I couldn't use Special Delivery because the recipient is an NHS worker and therefore AT WORK every day) Mine was a soul-destroying horrible experience I hope I never have to go through again.

“Avoid using Royal Mail”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Karson1981 on 29/04/2023

Avoid using the Royal Mail. They are by far the worst mail carrier in the UK. Parcel Force and Evri are much better. Royal Mail staff are incompetent. My parcels have been delivered to the wrong address and on other occasions they leave a card when I am home. I have nothing positive to say about this company. They have no right to strike and do not deserve any pay increase for the poor service they deliver. I hate when I place an order and the company uses Royal Mail because I know how much stress I will be under when Royal Mail are delivering my packages.

written by Cale94 on 21/04/2023

How can Royal mail charge so much for 1st class which is suppose to be next day delivery. I have recieved no post for over a week I have been waiting on urgent things and cards that I know were posted 1st class 9 days ago. I am also aware that agency when they get in are told oh ww could not do this you will have to do double today, this never happens to employed staff. You think you deserve a pay rise you can't be bothered to do the job you are in employed to do. WORK ETHIC DELIVER MY POST

“No wonder no one wants to use Royal Main anymore!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by storm85 on 22/03/2023

Now I know why they get so many bad reviews! Sent a small parcel 2nd Class Monday morning they tried to deliver Saturday. 6 days later ??? Then it could not be delivered and so alerted notice 'Return to Sender'. Why does a return take forever?? Up to 30 days I was told when I complained. Why? Why? Also why no tracking for 2nd class parcels when all the other delivery services do tracking? Great Posties, but rubbish operation!! No wonder no one wants to use Royal Main anymore!

I sent a scrap book last Sunday with a large first class stamp. Stupidly didn't realize I would have to pay extra and it still has not arrived to the destination. The post has no return label and I am worried it is lost. Where will it be? Please help me find where it is as it is very important and I've made a mistake. I posted it from Bluewater Shopping Center, Kent. It was traveling to Truro, Cornwall. Please help me find it.

As he said, the recipient will receive a notification that X £ needs to be paid for at the local Delivery Office in order to pick up the item which will be handed over on the day. If the buyer fails to do this, I'm not sure you can get the package back if you didn't put a returns address on it. You could try and get in touch with the buyers local DO and ask them to add returns details - if the buyer never goes to pay the fee, but you might have to go to great lengths to prove you are the sender. They told me they would add my details after 15 working days, if my buyer didn't go to the DO, but I sent my item recorded delivery and had the original receipts etc. I write my address for returns on everything now, bar small letters.

However, I do not wish to let them know where I am, and I know it would show on the post mark. Could you tell me if I could send my letters to the post office in the village and ask them to put it in the mail box to then be posted on? I would of course add the correct postage to the letter.

No info. You have not said if it is just one item, some, all, which is not much help. Mail will be sent back to sender, if the address does not exists, or the postman can't find it. I have had the odd item send back to me from abroad, only to resend to the same address for it to arrive. If it is eBay items, then I check on Google maps to see if the address exists, if it looks a bit off, as it is not unusual for parts to be missing. At time even getting the buyer to confirm the address if it does not tally up. Normally there is a sticker put on to the mail which will have a tick in the aproprate box as to why it has been returned.

Hi, 1st class mail in not guaranteed to arrive the next day, as some think. There aim is 93% next day, and this target is set by the Government. There blurb say within 2 days, not including Saturday. I send hundreds of 1st class letters and small packs each week, and most do arrive the next day, but then I get the odd one that take more that a week. They do not count it missing till 15 day are past, which tells you something. If you need something that has to arrive the next day, then there is next day guaranteed by 1.00. Post also go's missing, especially anything that looks like a card (people have a bad habit of putting monies in, an tea leaves no this). Always post early, and Don't send it a colored envelope.

Your parcel should have reached within 10 working days, get the recipient to check with their delivery office just in case it's there, if not it is over the time scale for delivery therefore you can assume it's lost and submit a claim for it to investigated. Hope this helps.

You need to telephone Royal Mail customer services. You will need your proof of postage & proof of how much your parcel contents are worth! Royal Mail do not make it easy to claim & you may find you are let down by this process! Good luck

You can ring customer services or contact them through their contact form on the Royal Mail website and they will advise further on how to submit claim.

You need to wait 15 working days before putting in a claim. You can get a form from your Post Office.

Your postman will leave a card with details about where and when to collect parcel, which is usually held at the local depot for your area.

Your parcel will either be left with a neighbour and a card put through your letter box to explain this or if it is Special Delivery then you will be notified that your parcel needs to be collected and signed for at your local Royal Mail office. You will need to bring proof of identity , such as a drivers licence.

First class mail usually takes 1-2 days to reach destination, that's what Royal Mail state however there are times it could take slightly longer.

First class postage is supposed to arrive within these postcodes within 1 day of posting but Royal Mail are often hit & miss and your letter could take 2 or even 3 days to arrive! Personally I find Royal Mail to be a very unreliable & expensive service.
