If that's not bad enough, I'm still waiting on the Scottish Tariff Change FDC's from March. Four times they have been reordered, and four times they have become locked in the system. Further attempts to get them released for despatch have failed. There appears to be a huge gremlin in the new computer system which is just stopping the release of new items. RM have yet to find a solution. In the meantime RM should inform customers of these problems, without us having to revert to the phone, as they don't respond to emails or complaints.Chris Nnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-30553391274138975342016-07-01T20:19:16.256+01:002016-07-01T20:19:16.256+01:00I had mine back last week, Tuesday or Wednesday. ...I had mine back last week, Tuesday or Wednesday.

Spoke to TH on the 23rd where I was told 'your not first today I've put a note on your file'. 1st July and still nothing, and it would seem some people have had a letter explaining the delay, I didn't. On the Royal Mail website the stamps in all formats are still for sale and no message on that site explaining why we have not had them. Been a customer for over 50 years and this has to be the worst it has been. Royal Mail state the customer comes first, so why are they leaving everyone in the dark.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08698496196663178578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-46655208096699564092016-07-01T15:24:08.768+01:002016-07-01T15:24:08.768+01:00Hi Peter
