#uspol #tariffs #royalmail I wonder how they will reply to this one.
The logistics of then refunding US customers is, of course, a nightmare, so I am almost hoping Royal Mail say “tough”, but on principle they should get a refund from US and refund me, and their admin fee!
They may say US importers need to claim from US customs though.
See https://www.revk.uk/2026/02/charging-for-postage.html for a more detailed breakdown of this.
Het is best vervelend dat ik mails van Royal Mail (UK) over een pakje krijg in het Frans omdat ik in België woon. Dat is de taal die ik het slechtst spreek van Nederlands, Engels en Frans. Het meest vervelende is dat ik er geen keuze in krijg.
NHS appointments missed because the letter arrived late. Fines for bills people never got. Legal documents left in limbo. Whistleblowers have finally confirmed what we've all suspected for a while now: #RoyalMail bosses are prioritising delivering profitable parcels, while our letters pile up gathering dust in sorting offices.
A new BBC investigation has destroyed the Royal Mail HQ's excuses about staff sickness or shortages. And it's not just about a late birthday card or bank statement, missed NHS appointments could mean Royal Mail's greed is doing real damage.
Enough is enough. Public anger is at boiling point - so lets target it at the people that can hold Royal Mail to account. Will you add your name to a huge petition demanding Ofcom, the regulator in charge, fine Royal Mail and force them to follow the law that says all post must be delivered fairly:

Helpfully #RoyalMail have wrapped my local late collection #PostBox in plastic pending upgrade which probably means it's going to be out of action for a few weeks 🙄 .
I received a letter from the #UK #government Department of Work & Pensions (#dwp) recently. It was sent to my old address and had arrived thanks to the forwarding service of #RoyalMail.
They told me I couldn't do it online due to one of the answers I gave, so I made a phone call.
After 30 minutes of repeatedly being told they knew I was #waiting it was great to speak to a human with a thoroughly #English accent. I could understand her and enjoy a little chit chat. Since my #teenage #years I've been known by my middle name. That's common in Ireland, I was told. She confessed to having Irish relatives in her family.
But to the point of this toot! I really should have told her that #Google reckons the number I rang belongs to a company called "Funerals on a Budget". After the call a dialogue appeared asking me if I could confirm they had the correct information. I was so busy #laughing I managed to close the #dialogue before answering.
All the postcodes affected by Royal Mail service delays
Just got my copy of #billionaires&guillotines
Excited!
Just in time for a family visit to #play.
Just rather annoyed about the #postnord fee of 160DKK to handle the 4DKK (yes, four kronor, about 50 cents) import tax... #plutobooks no more #royalmail to #Denmark please...
Thank you privatisation

Well in a shocking (not) development it seems like letters are left for weeks whilst parcels are rushed out as they earn more... I mean we all knew this would happen didn't we? #3dcandy #3dcsocial #boost #royalmail

Another miserable 'success story' for privatisation...

This story of the chaos in Royal Mail sorting offices & its impact on the delivery of mail (especially letters) completely lines up with my local experience in NW Lancashire; lost letters have increased, delayed deliveries are common & its clear that tracked packages are being prioritised.
The postal service is collapsing; the only Q. is whether this is the result of the move on-line, or a contributory factor to that move for all sorts of communications?
Companies forcing disappearance of painstakingly entered web session data after an hour of "inactivity", burn in hell. Looking at you, #royalmail

According to the tracking my 11am-2pm delivery is now less than 50 stops away.
Thanks for narrowing it down for me.
/S
My 11am-2pm delivery will be delivered at 8pm.
Two weeks worth of post arrives on the same day. Not so much #RoyalMail as royal fail. Another privatisation success, a worse service so that someone can drain the organisation of cash.
