      in 2022 a first class stamp cost 95p.

      in 2016 it was 64p.

      Someone point out to me how this isn’t profiteering – especially given Amazon can send me unlimited parcels for £8 a month, and most of those are delivered by the Royal Mail, and, presumably, both parties are making money on the deal.

      Privatisation of Royal Mail has gone well, hasn’t it?

      Waiting patiently for the media to start pinning down the politicians responsible – and most are still around, many sitting in parliament – for this disaster.

      Selling off essential public services tends to have this effect and yet it was barely even opposed or generated much controversy when the Lib Dem Tory coalition did this.

      Given I’m getting letters 3 weeks post the date of the letter, and therefore missing appointments and deadlines for things, they’ve got a cheek.

      I’m literally getting no post for weeks on end and then getting 9 letters all on the same day, all dated weeks prior. Happening to my elderly, chronically ill mother as well whose missed hospital appointments and of course the NHS doesn’t seem to have caught up to the fact that the post isn’t being delivered anymore and are blaming a disabled elderly woman for missing appointments she didn’t know she had until she’d missed it.

      Funnily enough i had a dream about first class stamps last night

      They were so expensive that you bought them individually and each came in a little wallet along with a free complimentary chocolate

      I guess we can add Royal Mail to the long list of failed privatisation experiments.

      Wonder when we’ll actually learn this this doesn’t work. 🤔

      My first class mail comes once a week lol. Stamps have tripled in price since 2016, it’s madness.

      Great! I can’t remember the last time I sent an actually letter!

      Every time I see a price increase for stamps reported as a big news item I can’t help but wonder whether it is too distract from larger issues. Sure, it is a significant relative increase, but how much does it actually impact people? How many stamps does a typical person use? I can only speak for myself, but it means I spend maybe up to a pound more per year on stamps (and that is very likely to be an overestimation)?

      Amazon could play a blinder her and put a letter printing service in each of their warehouses. Don’t bother sending a letter, just submit through some AWS portal service and it prints it at the nearest end hub and the van drivers deliver them.

      Gets rid of loads of routing. Obviously this is for business use only really.

      *For the record, I’m not saying they should steal a load of business post only that they could*

      Fuck privatisation, the rich get richer and we get fucked over.

      Get fined – raise prices – get fined – raise prices.

      Wonder how long the cycle will go on for.

    15. thescx on

      Wait what! I swear they were like 72p or 82p just a couple of years ago!

      The last mile of our mail service is an organisational mess. Often we will go for a week or more without getting any mail and then we get a wad of letters, mostly junk, being delivered. The lady at the delivery office in town now recognises me as I have had to go in so often to check for mail if we are waiting for anything.

      I would say its down to lack of staff but people on the other side of town get mail every single day without any problem. Its not as though they are rotating the posties round instead it just seems one side of town is well serviced with the right number of staff while the other just gets whoever is left.
