Well, another day begins of waiting waiting waiting for parcels to arrive, this time, 8x 6x4 photos which Kmart in it's infinite wisdom decided to print out in whoop whoop and send via a parcel courier instead of bloody posting like normal human beings!.. and a new ottoman, and a glass memorial photo frame... waiting waiting waiting fun fun fun etc...

Royal Mail accused of faking deliveries

#RoyalMail #managers accused of #faking deliveries to keep their yearly #bonuses

#Postal #workers say they've been told to record some #parcel #deliveries as “inaccessible”, even if they never attempted to deliver it

Thus operations managers still receive their bonuses, understood to be based in part on hitting targets for the number of parcels that leave Royal Mail depots

I suggest: #migraine, #epilepsy or #trigeminalneuralgia sufferers don't look at the #image

Don't do this to me in the #morning! I'm doing a #RoyalMail #complaint as a #Tracked24 #parcel #delivery was 2 days #late & left at the wrong house. I'd put "no safe place" and leaving it with a stranger even if you put a note through, is totally unacceptable. This on top of screwing-up the #tracking. To make matters worse the #verify they used was this #migraine inducing horror.
I'm so cross.

Our #freedoms are being removed in sneaky ways. We all know of the big issues such as #NHS #dentists being too few, #medications people need to #survive being unavailable & #heating costs but there's smaller issues. Some of the most normal, everyday things have turned into #nightmares such as #parking, #parcel #deliveries, & battles with #private organisations with the# power to send #debtcollectors for absurd reasons.

#RoyalMail no better than #Evri
#Tracked24 is no better than #Tracked 48 but you pay more. #Tracking showed #parcel #delivery with a #photo of only the label. Time of #delivery was prior to it's #collection #time.
2 #parcels different days. 1st arrived 3 days late. No idea where 2nd one is as #track is wrong (unless #DoctorWho stole it). #Customerservices 1st parcel-lovely but the 2nd was rude, condescending & full of her own self-importance.
Now no reliable #deliveryservices in #uk
#postal

Continued thread

But it's not as if I dislike the #concept of a #GhostKitchen because in the end the #product counts...

And yes, a lot of restaurants use "#ManagedDelivery" like #Lieferando aka. #JustEat aka. #Takeaway.com aka. #GrubHub [it's all the same dutch Douch-Irish - Sandwich of #TaxAvoidance] to offer #Delivery #Food without having to invest into buying vehicles and hiring staff but externalize #deliveries like a #Parcel / #Postal service or rather #CourierService...

And Restaurants only pay a per-order fee and no setup or minimums and acquire new customers.

Congratulations to Nova Post for winning the title of the #Postal Operator of the Year for their 'Divided by Borders, United by Nova Post' initiative! The World #Post & #Parcel #Awards has indeed recognised Ukraine's leading express delivery company 🚀

Nova Post achieved remarkable growth last year despite the challenges of russia's full-scale invasion. The company expanded its network in #Ukraine by 20%, opening 2,242 new branches and installing 1,853 parcel lockers.

Tracking a parcel from Aus to NZ. According to AusPost, flight departed Melbourne at 4:34pm on the 26th, then departed again at 10:33pm, before finally landing in NZ at 7:16pm on the 27th.

Not sure how a flight manages to take off twice in a row without landing (strong headwinds? forgot something so had to turn back and swing by for it??) but I'm pretty sure the only way to take ~21 hours to fly from Aus to NZ is to go the long way round.

We have made another small update to our #CalendarSynchronization service:

- Using the new "isrecurring" condition, you can distinguish event series from one-off events.
- Fixed several bugs that led to ChronoLink rejecting #iCalendar (ICS) feeds from awardwallet.com and @parcel.
