Royal Mail must be so grateful to have a loyal fan like Lindsey.
The message I copied to this forum does, I think, provide "irrefutable
evidence" that Royal Mail auctions off some items. Whether it does so for a
profit or makes a loss I have no idea - I never used the word profit in my
original message, but my point is that is is much easier for them to chuck the
stuff away or pass it to a dealer than to actually deliver it.
I think it is a legal point that items of merchandise sent through the post
become the property of the addressee or recipient. Letters remain the property
of the sender. Neither becomes at any point the property of the Royal Mail. So
I would question whether the Royal Mail has the right to dispose of them by any
means, even for charity, particularly when there is a legible address on the
item.
After all, you can't sell other people's property, not legally anyway. So
while I sympathize with their problems, running the Royal Mail under present
conditions, I disagree with some of their actions.
