Today, I am focusing on getting jobs done which I never have the time to do.
At some point I will drag myself out, so I can go see my dad. I haven't managed to do this since our family break, and I really want to catch up. There's not a lot on a Saturday that happens when I am not attending a game. It's all work-related mostly, but today does feel cosy to a point.
Did you know, the Royal Mail at times now delivers some Amazon items?
They say that people aren't sending letters as much, but that is simply due to the cost. The higher it goes, the fewer people are willing to spend to send a simple letter, and it's the act of a company that isn't able to adapt with the times. I would assume they are wanting to focus on where the most money is available to them, at the exspence of their more affordable options but requires more time from their staff.
At some point the price will make stamps defunct, at which point they will have to compete more closely with parcel companies - unless they realise that making stamps actually affordable, and of value, would increase the demand for them. At which point will it be too late?
They have recently made the price to print your own stamps online universally the same price.
With the only benefit that you can give your letters, parcels to the mail man doing your round (sometimes it's their partner who drives a van).
I think reducing paper waste is a good idea, but none of the Royal Mail's actions are focused on this and solely come down to money. Just like companies are now prioritising emails over letters. We still live in a time when physical paper counts for something, and I personally would rather send letters in some instances but sooner, or later it will be a thing of the past.
