I'd rather have RM than Hermes or UPS... ?

It would be a better place if people started doing their job properly.

Just nonsense from RM trying to actually get a parcel when they close the local collection depot except for 2 hours in the morning.
Won't deliver to a neighbour, collection points don't exist.
Messed up my weekend plans and set me back a few hours trying to sort this.
Even Evri is preferable at this point!

Yes, but 1) they'll only let you do that after they've already attempted to deliver at least once.
2) they all close at half 5. I finish work at 5 and it takes me half an hour to get home, so unless the roads are all perfectly clear and I floor it, it's a toss up as to whether I make it there on time.

I have to say that I would prefer RM over some of the others despite our local distribution hub having very limited opening times.
That said if it gets taken over I'm not sure if it will get better or worse. It's not a business where you have free reign to do anything........

No, they only deliver to ones close to my home address unfortunately that I've seen so far; they're stuck about 15/20 years in the past.
To Contrast this: I ordered from zero one on Thursday morning, who use DPD, not only did they deliver on Friday morning but they give you the option of diverting to a neighbour, or a local pick-up point prior to the delivery attempt.
And to boot, I think RM posties have no idea what a doorbell is! ?

Anyway, this isn't really too serious a post, just a rant and looking forward to the day when they eventually cease to be. (Which will likely be never unfortunately!)

What did you order out of interest?
Hudson
It was a private purchase.
I'll give them their dues when it comes to things that can fit through a letterbox, but it seems like anything beyond that proves an insurmountable challenge for them! ?
Is it too much to ask that they do just one single day per week with late opening hours? ?

ah right that's what i was thinking. A lot of retailers use small parcel service as standard even for products that would fit through the letterbox, partly due to reduced fraud and packages that accidentally get posted through the wrong letterbox, about 1 in 1000 for me. I always use large letter where possible, I've even tried to source small parcel boxes that fit into letterboxes but you just can't find them. Large Letter with RM is fucked up though, 25mm whereas a letterbox is 38mm. They could make things a lot easier but they don't.

Oh and you're right, depot opening hours for collection is f**king ridiculous. It never used to be this bad, only in the last couple of years. They really don't want people turning up at the local depots.
