Nothing but idiots running around playing post man. I had invisible intem delivered to me on the 3rd of this month 2020. Which is funny since I've been waiting patiently and even looking outside to see if any postman is around. I've paid EXTRA FOR FIRST CLASS I do not recommend these idiots PAID GOOD MONEY now I cannot get in contact with them WHAT A ABSOLUTE JOKE.

been waiting in for an important parcel for my job with still no sign of it being delivered. they were given the package to them on Thursday with 1st class signed so due Friday. its now Tuesday and i have received nothing and have rang up twice now both times been on the phone for over an hour to then be cut off. I speak to the postman most mornings and he hasn't had any parcels for me. Its not the first time Royal Fail have lost my parcel either. they are down there with hermes as the worst delivery company

6 years in my business and still not receiving letters or any parcels from Royal mail. Have to go and collect them every day. Put the number outside a letter box and even painted red, this year I have zero letters and I buy stuff online every day. Nightmare useless.

Disappointed with Royal Mail. They have refused to deliver mail to the flats my sister lives in. They have decided it is an old folks home and say their posties are too scared to come in and deliver. Despite the postmen knowing it is NOT an old folks home they will not deliver. Consequently, one resident has to go to the sorting office twice a week and collect the post. It is about time somebody sorted the mail service out it is not fit for purpose. To add insult to injury they are constantly advertising on TV that they deliver whatever. They should be ashamed of the lies they are telling. Absolutely disgusted.

Royal Mail really is the worse delivery service there is. Not only is it the most expensive, I’ve seen so many of them drive up to where I live and not even get out the car to knock but then they will leave a “sorry we missed you” note. Witnesses this out of the Window last week. Driver didn’t even get out and now I’ve had to drive the next day to collect only to find out that royal mai Office now closes at 11am which is absolutely pathetic. Who gets up at 7am to collect the parcel? Yes they do a redelivery service but you have to wait 2 days for this and the driver will probably do the same again anyway. Lazy little S***s

Absolutely shocking in 8 days my parcel still not delivered to recipient who lives few miles away from me. I got phone call and text message every day from my customer asking "Thieft, where is my item? Con artist, send my money back". TRACKING number KB701525026GB

Royal Mail delivered TWO parcels to me earlier this week; knocked on my door and left them on the door step. I caught the guy walking away, and he motioned with his hand for me to look downwards. It was raining. Thank goodness I was home as neither parcel was wrapped in plastic; just cardboard. I'm now waiting for another parcel to be delivered by them, this one 1st Class 'signed for' with an iPad inside. Took them 5 days to deliver it to a shop for repair, First Class Delivery. Now it's on it's return journey back to me. The repair shop only had it less than two days; sent it back to me on 2nd day - 3rd June @12:48pm 1st Class 'signed for'.

Sent an item tracked, it was UK inland. 21 days after taking the item to the post office the tracking showed that it still hadn't been delivered. A month later, still not delivered. Royal mail tracking is useless.

Royal Mail are monumentally useless! I'm expecting a small parcel supposedly "48 Hour tracked". Unfortunately, RM's interpretation of 48 hours is frankly anything they want it to be and no doubt they'll bleat about this being a Covid-19 related issue. Any excuse RM! Looking at the tracking my parcel was in the system a week ago, its been to several sorting centres, including some incorrect ones, and still is no where near its final leg of the journey. This outdated institution needs a complete kick up its backside. If Amazon can deliver me something within hours, why can't RM? Wouldn't it be great if Amazon took over RM completely. If anyone from RM ever reads these reviews, although I doubt it given there arrogance, then pull your finger out and provide a service fit for the 21st century or if you are incapable of that then hand the business to someone that can!

Waited in all day for a package to receive a text stating delivery attempted but unable to access driveway/front door. Absolutely pack of lies. Insult to injury when waiting in all day to receive lies like that. No attempt was made, no cctv detected, no doorbell rang & absolutely no obstructions. Tried to call & give them opertunity to explain lies but gave up after 20min on hold with sorry to keep you waiting nonsense. Well sorry I won't be using you again, sorry I will tell many how bad you are, sorry am leaving you as many bad reviews on as many sites as I find, I am very sorry indeed. My appoliges are as genuine as theirs.

It's like they are physically incapable of delivering something on time, my order having been dispatched a week ago still hasn't arrived when it was meant to Saturday and i get no updates whatsoever

Parcels left on doorstep, thought they were supposed to make sure someone was in before parcel was left. Had this problem for over 30 years. Customer service fob me off, sending a list of what the postman should do but never tell him. Royal Mail kiss my ****

This is my second order that hasn't arrived! So now I have to go through the hassle of getting refunds. I know due to the state of the world it might be harder, but all the other couriers seem to be managing perfectly fine.

Shocking service, nothing Royal about this service. When are RM going to read reviews and do something about their non service to us the customers. Amazon deliver every item on time despite our hotel being closed. Rm staff simply cannot be bothered and are lazy at best. Shocking every time, today I'm on red card 11 from RM.

I was told my very important document would get from the UK to Guyana in 5 to 7 days, four weeks later it’s still in the Heathrow sorting office. I am now in jealousy of losing my job because of this!!!!
