O/T Royal Mail and TNT

[Christies Child]

'er indoors works at the local hospital and told me of growing instances where out-patients are missing the appointments due to the late delivery of their appoinment details.

It appears that all the outgoing mail is contracted to TNT who in turn deliver it to the Royal Mail for forward delivery to you and I. Recently there has been increasing instances where it has taken up to 6 weeks for a delivery to the out-patient and that's within the local area!

When an appointment is not kept, the hospital have to investigate the reasons as to why which involves yet another TNT handled piece of correspondence.

The number of missed appointments are increasing, resulting in additional resources to be wasted due to having to investigate the reasons as to why. As you would expect neither TNT or the Royal Mail appear to be taking responsibility and all the while things get progressively worse.

Maybe its time that we turned the clocks back and got back to the days of competance and pride in giving a service......or is that living in cloud cuckoo land?

Blame the people who gave the contracts out, if you just have 1 company and use the same system as ours , then every item is barcoded and trackable and is delivered within 24 or 48 hrs . (normally)

Don't blame Royal Mail for any delays. All TNT, DHL or whatever mail that is brought into the Mail Centre at Preston is treat as 1st class and delivered the next working day. I work there BTW.
