It will impact, but I don't think it will be huge, and RM may not even be affected given the other secure carriers working for the banks.Ian - Norvichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16436130277706268046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-84738981607523951352017-09-19T18:27:37.671+01:002017-09-19T18:27:37.671+01:00Mobile Cheque Imaging is shortly to be introduced ...Mobile Cheque Imaging is shortly to be introduced by the Banks and Building Societies and this will allow private and business customers to pay in images of cheques until some agreed time (likely to be well after 3PM) and as it cuts drastically the amount of paperwork travelling between bank branches it is likely to considerably reduce RMs volume of this business.

During the school summer holidays, he did his round on his own, and would deliver at quite a reasonable time (before I have lunch but not very early). He said now the schools are back, he is partnered up with another postie but they do his round first, before coming to my area, so post arrives after 3pm. <br /><br />I forgot to ask him if he had one of those handstamp cancel things you mentioned a while back. <br /><br />Awaited delivery from Yodel last week - they've messed up or was it the company selling the item we bought, so perhaps next week the item will arrive (probably too big for RM / Parcelforce as it is an item of furniture).

Five years ago the mail arrived on my doorstep by 10am at the latest. Today I am lucky if the mail arrives by 2pm at the earliest. It can arrive as late as 4.30pm - 5pm.<br /><br />The local letterbox gets emptied by 2pm at the latest. Used to be 2 collections per day, but just the one now.<br /><br />Having spoken to my postman this week, changes are afoot at the sorting office. Talk of closure, and moving the staff to Northolt, yet they will still have to travel to Wembley to carry out their daily rounds, which ultimately means instead of walking the round, they will require transport to get them their.Chrisnoreply@blogger.com
