Post in Further erosion of postal service

May 07 12:37 UTC

The car park behind the restaurants and opposite the Co-op is Co-op owned, or
at least run.   A person patrols in normal shopping hours, and makes sure
you're shopping at the Co-op, though they will allow you to go to other shops
too.

Didn't Royal Mail waste an awful lot of money trying to redesignate themselves
'Consignia', which everyone hated, cost loads of money in 'focus groups' and
change of livery, and lasted about five minutes, not to mention opening RM to
raucous ridicule?

  Sorry, I wasn't suggesting that people should rent a mailbox address
  in Mailboxes (although it would solve the parcel problem).

  Anyone can come in off the street and send letters and parcels from
  Mailboxes at the same price as from the Post Office without paying any
  yearly fee.  The only difference is that the service is much better,
  and there is no queue.  (But don't go to Mailboxes on a Saturday
  morning, as their Saturday mail is not picked up until Monday.)

  Mailboxes was cited as the main reason that the post office in
  Summertown closed.  But should people feel guilty for choosing what
  they think is a better service?

  As far as I know, the car park behind the restaurants is owned by the pet
shop.
