Royal Mail Group Delivery service

I sended a package from Germany and it didn't deliver. When I search up the package number. It shows me that I have to pay a fee or the person who gets the package has to pay the fee, even though I payed everything in advance.There has to be a card but the person I sended the package to didn't get that card. So naturally, she cannot pay the fee. The emails that are given are either not existing or simply not reacting

Royal Mail Group Royal mail incompetence

Here we go again, and again. This latest review is a further example of absolute incompetence by royal mail, following their (now) denial of loosing my parcel, but now telling me I had received it! What an utter and complete untruth. Perhaps I should ask donald trump to get involved - he would soon identify the liars, and sack the board and some senior...

Royal Mail Group Royal Mail - Tracking Number # FP114958418GB

On Monday 13th July ordered a cushion from Mr Lumpy.
(I hoped in plenty of time to reach my friend for their birthday on Monday 20th July)
They posted it with Royal Mail on Tuesday 14th July
On Saturday 18th July I checked the Tracking (Tracking Number # FP114958418GB) and it said that the parcel had been "Returned to Sender" ...
Because: "... we were unable to deliver this item at 18-07-2026 as it was not possible to identify the delivery address." !
I was furious because a parcel I had sent via the Post Office posted on Wednesday 15th July had been delivered to the very same address on Saturday 18th July.
I informed the seller who was also annoyed but they said they would send another with a different courier ...
So I was stunned to receive an email on Tuesday 21st July telling me that the parcel had actually been delivered contradicting what you had originally told me.
Therefore the seller will be 'out of pocket' of course which is most unfair.
I think you should compensate them.

Claimed loss: £17.66

Desired outcome: You can refund me or the seller.

Is Royal Mail Group Legit?

Royal Mail Group earns a trustworthiness rating of 91%

Highly recommended, but caution will not hurt.

Our conclusion: After a detailed review, ComplaintsBoard finds Royal Mail Group to be a trustworthy company. Although there's a 10% resolution rate for customer complaints, which deserves attention, Royal Mail Group is known for their high standards and safety. If you're thinking about dealing with Royal Mail Group, it's wise to check how they handle complaints.

We found clear and detailed contact information for Royal Mail Group. The company provides a physical address, 7 phone numbers, and 2 emails, as well as 4 social media accounts. This demonstrates a commitment to customer service and transparency, which is a positive sign for building trust with customers.

The age of Royal Mail Group's domain suggests that they have had sufficient time to establish a reputation as a reliable source of information and services. This can provide reassurance to potential customers seeking quality products or services.

Royalmail.com has a valid SSL certificate, which indicates that the website is secure and trustworthy. Look for the padlock icon in the browser and the "https" prefix in the URL to confirm that the website is using SSL.

Royalmail.com has been deemed safe to visit, as it is protected by a cloud-based cybersecurity solution that uses the Domain Name System (DNS) to help protect networks from online threats.

We looked up Royal Mail Group and found that the website is receiving a high amount of traffic. This could be a sign of a popular and trustworthy website, but it is still important to exercise caution and verify the legitimacy of the site before sharing any personal or financial information

Royalmail.com appears to have online shopping features, it's important to know that the platform supports an extensive range of payment methods, making it convenient and easy to complete your transaction. The payment procedure on the website is also relatively simple and straightforward, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience for buyers.

However ComplaintsBoard has detected that:

  • While Royal Mail Group has a high level of trust, our investigation has revealed that the company's complaint resolution process is inadequate and ineffective. As a result, only 10% of 102 complaints are resolved. The support team may have poor customer service skills, lack of training, or not be well-equipped to handle customer complaints.
  • We conducted a search on social media and found several negative reviews related to Royal Mail Group. These reviews may indicate issues with the company's products, services, or customer support. It is important to thoroughly research the company and its offerings before making any purchases to avoid any potential risks.

I was expecting a parcel to be delivered today but just received a message to say it was not possible to deliver as my address was inaccessible. There were no traffic problems or lack of parking spaces on my street when I received this message. This is a recurring problem.

Ongoing problems with a postal worker called Jayne Bradley from the Alfreton sorting office. Very rude and abusive towards members of the public, especially the disabled and elderly. She deliberates damages mail and parcels. If you say anything she's got the nerve to say she feels threatened, yet she keeps coming to keep bullying people. Been complained about many times but you won't do anything about her. Why?
