postal strike
strapping young lad:
makes you wonder whether its worth getting a courier instead
yes it may cost you a tenner or more but if its value is a lot more than that at least you know its going to get where its supposed to during these awkward times

Bunnie:
All the stuff for my job interview on friday has been done via email due to the postal strikes so its not been to much of a problem.
me personal other than waiting to various bills to arrive the only thing i could possibly be waiting on is letter from the solicitors about my insurance claim.. but then they may not have bothered to send anything to me.
i can see the problems for mum and dad tho waiting to know just how much this weeks beer delivery has cost.. (normally anything around the 3K mark)
strapping young lad:
whats interesting about this thread is that no one is defending the strike
normally when a question is asked about any industry someone normally stands their ground but not this time
maybe everyones had it with them?

They may as well all go home & sign on the dole...useless.
With computers fast taking over snail mail, especially in business you'd have thought the posties would be working harder to improve service & maintain there jobs, not striking & alienating the people that pay there wages!
The post here in South Devon has been terrible for over 12 months now. Post used to turn up 7-7.30am everyday. Now turns up between 10am & 4pm if at all!! We even went through a period of collecting our own post from the sorting office :shock:
This has prompted me to turn my business into an internet biased business.
All my business is now done on the computer & fax now as I can't take the chance of invoices, cheques getting lost in post!
All incoming faxes go straight to fax server & all payments are done online.
The very few important docs I do have to send go by doc post with TNT or a another courier...at least it gets where it's going...eventually!
Perhaps we should all strike & not the Royal Mail service for a month & see how that hurts their pockets...see what the union idiots have to say about that :evil:
Rant over...nearly!! :twisted:
