Royal Mail To Scrap Street Collections ?

Royal Mail- Secret Plans To Scrap Street Post Boxes ?

If you have a Post Box near you, keep a close eye on it. My nearest pillar box clearly has a label professing that the 6.30pm collection is the latest in this area. All well and good. That is, unless you pop down at say 5.50pm to post your letter in good time for the 6.30pm last collection, and you will see the collection tag has been changed to say the next collection is the NEXT DAY. Now I’ve been keeping lookout and I know the tag on my post box is changed about an hour BEFORE THE LAST COLLECTION ACTUALLY HAPPENS…….result……..you may panic, assume you’ve missed today’s collection and start driving around or walking to the sorting office. Totally unnecessarily. You are being manipulated to destroy your own street postal collection.

You lose confidence in the ADVERTISED collection time, because every time you get there in good time you are lead to believe by the EARLY TAG CHANGE, you’ve missed it……….Result, your lack of trust means you go straight to the sorting office or you post your letter much earlier in the day……but guess what……that’s the idea. Less and less people trusting a collection will actually be made at 6.30pm –fewer use it. Justifying the Royal Mail plans to ditch the Post Box altogether.

If you notice this devious manipulation on your Post Box, get evidence, -digital photos are ideal as they have dates & times. Send them to POSTWATCH.
