That " crap " is called Down Stream Access. Our competition gets the contracts to process it then they damp it on Royal Mail to deliver it . You can thank the fcuking EU for that with their competition directive bullshit . Even though we're now out of the EU its all now set in stone thanks to our time being members
So no Brexit benefit there then. I'll keep looking for them elsewhere. Cheers
Has your postie ever put something unwanted through your letter box?
It's called the Universal Service Obligation . We have to delivery the crap other companies dump on us .

They're crap too. Shovel mostly junk through my letter box.

We know our Evri driver (his son plays in the same sports team as one of my sons), this may have limited our items lost in transit to just two this year - including two umbrella stands - although we're only in March I suppose.

Initial City Link were the trendsetters for crap delivery - I'd always try and get the supplier to change delivery company if it was with them.

Just bills and parking fines. We've got a new postie who has upset the neighbour by taking a shortcut over his garden into mine. I'm not that bothered but he is a bit " special" when it comes to stuff like this.
