We've had to dump RM alltogether (except Ireland, the Scottish
Islands, the Isle Of Wight and letters). Their systems are so
out of date, cumbersome and inefficient (and getting more complex,
not simpler). Unfortunately the loss of our business, and others
in the area, is most likely to contribute to the closure of several
local small Post Offices. The clown that runs RM really needs
to get back to the shop floor and see how it actually works,
and how the comnetition does it, while he's still got a business.
RM wanted to charge us £49.00 a year for labelling software, ANC
came round, installed & tested their software next day - free.
Personally I can see RM collapsing within, say, 5 years and
universal delivery disappearing. The couriers must be laughing
all the way to the bank... Still, that would stop people sending
out letters with "date as post mark" as I might choose to only
collect mail once a week! Every cloud....
