From Cynthia Rabet.
WHAT on earth has happened to Jersey Post recently? The service we are receiving is abysmal and not just because of letters not being delivered on a Saturday – which is a disgrace in itself.

In the last two weeks, two letters I posted at the Broad Street Post Office have been lost in the post. One was a payment to Barclaycard giving me a flea in the ear and I also incurred a £12 fee for non-payment.

The second was an order to a firm in England for an item that had limited stocks – when I phoned to enquire when the item would be delivered I was told my order had not been received and when I tried to re-order it, I was told there were no more of these particular items I wanted in stock.

When I receive letters in the post, the date on the letters is sometimes a week old – even when a priority stamp is used.

In fact, there is no point in using a priority stamp anymore, as it seems all letters are being treated in the same manner, i.e., very slowly. Snail mail, indeed.

I do not like using the internet to make payments, but in future I shall be using the telephone as much as possible to make payments, order goods from the UK etc.

Jersey Post have complained that their profits have plummeted, hence the non-delivery of post on a Saturday, but they have only themselves to blame.
