Use at your own risk!!! Post damaged by Royal Mail machinary and parts lost but did not compensate/ refund me for lost items because they were sent using stamps not through the post office therefore unable to complete online claim form with receipt tracking number and this is apparently the only way to claim for damaged items. Attitude of staff dealing with this was also terrible, uncaring, unhelpful, no empathy. Robotic attitude. I avoid using RoyalMail now.

AMAZON SELLERS BE WARNED. Royal mail is a scam. I send tens of thousands worth of parcels with RM every year and they have lost thousands of pounds worth of my good but will only refund the cost of the item to me. However I am an Amazon handmade seller and It is impossible to prove the cost of my time to make said items so will only send you the postage money back. This also works for other items. They will only give you the price you paid for the item, not the cost of the item plus the Amazon fees and ad fees it cost you to sell the items. Other shipping providers will give you the cost that the customer pays which we all know is the true value of the items. Royal by name, Royal by nature.. take take take Filthy company

Seriously what the hell is going on with them lately? Even at the height of the pandemic they were still fine and still for the most part delivering everything fine and on time, but lately it's weird how much of my parcels are going missing or undelivered or taking weeks to get delivered just a few miles away? Use anyone else but Royal Mail right now!

I've never had a problem before with Royal Mail but lately I've had so many parcels lost or undelivered and the ones that do eventually get delivered take weeks and weeks even if they are only going to the next city! What the hell are they playing at lately this is just so unacceptable, how are other delivery companies still managing fine and for the most part delivering the service they promise but the biggest national service failing on so many levels? If you can avoid them just don't use Royal Mail right now

Horrendous service. Literally killing my small business as I’m consistently having to refund customers or send out replacements. It’s about time something changed! I’d be embarrassed to be a part of this place!

Just an update to the wonderful service that Royal Mail are currently providing . After totally losing a parcel that was due to be delivered to a click and collect , a parcel that the driver said he had delivered but hadn’t scanned because his scanner was broken , amazingly they have now claimed to have delivered the replacement phone to my property Saturday . Now I stayed in all day Saturday , received two other parcels from reputable parcel companies and yet Royal Mail driver managed to deliver my parcel , without me answering the door to him . Ah but he would have scanned the parcel when you answered the door and taken it in the house . Guess what ? His scanner was having problems again, so another parcel has disappeared off the face of the earth, another investigation opened , second one from the same sorting office in the same area . Maybe just maybe there is something amiss here Royal Mail just a thought . Let’s see the outcome of this meaningless investigation

They are the worst delivery company in the UK by a mile. Parcels lost, undelivered and regularly late. Why do companies continue to use them???

appalling service - lost parcels (despite tracking) and no one answering phones and even cutting off the call part way through the answering phone message and of course blaming covid 19..... its the current 'get out of jail card' for poor service....funny DPD and others are brilliant by comparison

Parcel lost . Driver and depot manager claimed it had been delivered . Only after local post office showed the CCTV did the company admit it hadn’t been delivered , it was a total lie . Then they just admitted it had been lost . No accountability . Had to re order from company I ordered product from paid extra for next day delivery and for it to get it delivered to my home address . Surprise surprise the parcel has not been delivered again , despite tracking saying its out for delivery . What is going on . Shape up Royal Mail your competitors are putting you to shame . I will be seeking answers from high up and won’t be leaving it go without answers

Delivered to wrong location, delayed, no information about my package. Absolutely horrendous. Avoid at all costs.

Today, 27th June, 2020 I received a Father's Day card with a 1st Class stamp posted in Barnsley and postmarked Sheffield 19th of June. Another card posted at exactly the same time, in the same postbox, arrived on time. In a previous case two cards posted on the same day, one from Sydney, Australia, the other from Barnsley, arrived together! There have been other problems with post from Barnsley. I have come to expect a poor service from this branch of Royal Mail.

Small UK parcel dispatched to me on 18th June, via "Royal Mail 48Hr" (within UK), but it's now 27th June and the Tracking still doesn't even show "In Transit" or "Out for delivery". I appreciate there's less staff due to Covid-19 guidelines, but this is ridiculous. Over the years we got a delivery of mail (or parcels) every day or two, but now it's one (maybe two) deliveries per week, and some parcels are received around 2 or 3 months late. It's better than no service at all, but still a VERY slow unreliable service.

I order many things from China the tracking is updated on every movement of the parcel, until it's handed to to Royal mail then all tracking stops and it's pot luck when it turns up. Why?
