From June Beslievre.
WHAT an absolute disgrace this new postal service is. What possible justification is there for sitting on mail that has already been collected from the post box and then delivering it three days later on an Island nine miles by five.

On 19 June I received two letters postmarked 16th June from Jersey and one from the UK postmarked 18th June. How many people are aware that when they use the self-stick stamps they bought before prices went up that this is what they can expect?

It is particularly disgraceful that the above system includes hospital appointments. When unwell and told that an appointment will be made, it is worrying to have to wait several days to hear, only to find it is a purposely delayed letter.

The reason for the above, the Post Office tells us, is that ‘feedback has shown customers would like greater choice in the options open to them.

The only time I’ve heard anyone say anything about this is from business people who were asking for a second delivery.

The Post Office tells us ‘the priority service will provide next-day local delivery.’ Well, those who wanted a better choice already had that before the price went up, so no improvement there.
It would seem these price hikes and changes of delivery were all a great bluff to raise more money for a poorer service.
