Royal Mail
History
See also: General Post Office (United Kingdom)
The main post office in Oxford, England, in St Aldate’s.
The Royal Mail traces its history back to 1516, when Henry VIII established a “Master of the Posts”, a post which eventually evolved into the office of the Postmaster General. The Royal Mail service was first made available to the public by Charles I on 31 July, 1635, with postage being paid by the recipient, and the General Post Office (GPO) was officially established by Charles II in 1660.
Between 1719 and 1763, Ralph Allen, Postmaster at Bath, signed a series of contracts with the post office to develop and expand Britain’s postal network. He organised mail coaches which were provided by both Wilson & Company of London and Williams & Company of Bath. The early Royal Mail Coaches were similar to ordinary family coaches but with Post Office livery.
Uniform penny postage
Main article: Uniform Penny Post
A post box in front of Mansfield College, Oxford. The cypher of King Edward VII of the United Kingdom, ER VII for Eduardus Rex septimus is cast into its door.
In December 1839 the first substantial reform started when postage rates were revised by the short-lived Uniform Fourpenny Post. Greater changes took place when the Uniform Penny Post was introduced on 10 January, 1840 whereby a single rate for delivery anywhere in Great Britain and Ireland was pre-paid by the sender. A few months later, to certify that postage had been paid on a letter, the sender could affix the first adhesive postage stamp, the Penny Black that was available for use from May 6 of the same year. Other innovations were the introduction of pre-paid William Mulready designed postal stationery letter sheets and envelopes.
As the United Kingdom was the first country to issue prepaid postage stamps, British stamps are the only stamps that do not bear the name of the country of issue on them.
By the late 19th century, there were between six and twelve mail deliveries per day in London, permitting correspondents to exchange multiple letters within a single day.
Pillar boxes
Main article: Pillar box
A Victorian hexagonal red post box outside King’s College, Cambridge.
Traditionally UK post boxes carry the Latin initials of the reigning monarch at the time of their installation: in this case VR for Victoria Regina. Pillar boxes and other RMG Street Furniture are maintained by Romec Ltd.
1960 to present
In 1969 the GPO was changed from a government department to a public corporation, and the position of Postmaster General was abolished.
In 2000, The Post Office renamed itself onsignia. However, the change proved to be highly unpopular with both the public and even the organisation’s own employees, with the Communication Workers’ Union boycotting the name. In 2002, the organisation adopted the name of the letters delivery business, becoming “Royal Mail Group plc” with the following operating divisions:
Royal Mail, delivering letters
Parcelforce, delivering parcels
Post Office Limited, managing the nationwide network of post office branches as retail outlets.
Contrary to urban myth, Royal Mail does not own the trademark on the colour red, but a specific shade of the colour red: “Royal Mail, the Royal Mail Cruciform, the colour red (as part of the Royal Mail logotype) and SmartStamp are all registered trademarks of Royal Mail Group plc.”
In 2001 the government set up a postal regulator, Postcomm, and offered licences to private companies to deliver mail. In 2001, the Consumer Council for Postal Services, more commonly known as Postwatch, was created for consumers to express any concerns they may have with the postal service in the UK.
From 1 January, 2006, the Royal Mail lost its 350-year monopoly and the UK postal market became fully open to competition.[citation needed]

Non-postal services
The General Post Office introduced telegraph services in 1870 and telephone services in 1912. It took over nearly all of the UK’s municipal telephone companies (the sole exception being Kingston Communications in Hull) and was responsible for the resultant telephone network until British Telecommunications was demerged by the British Telecommunications Act 1981. BT was later privatised.
The National Girobank was introduced in 1968 and sold to Alliance & Leicester in 1990. The government run National Savings and Investments (founded in 1861 as the Post Office Savings Bank) is also operated through Post Office branches.
Historically, many government benefits and state retirement pensions were paid in cash through the post office network. However, in recent years, an increasing proportion of benefit and pension payments have been made directly by bank transfer, leading to a loss of revenue for Post Office branches and many closures.
Public interest
Postman of Royal mail in Ilminster, UK
The Royal Mail is regulated by Postcomm, while consumer interests are represented by Postwatch. The relationship between the two has not always been good and in 2005 Postwatch took Postcomm to Judicial Review over its decision regarding rebates to late-paying customers.
The Government department responsible for the Royal Mail is the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform, however the public financial interest is managed by the Shareholder executive.
Although now a private company, the Royal Mail enjoys special protection under Government legislation which severely limits consumer rights. Under the Postal Services Act 2000, the Royal Mail is under no contractual obligation to deliver most mail, including special delivery items. In addition, no court action can be taken against the Royal Mail more than 12 months after an item is posted.
Royal Mail has, in some quarters, a poor reputation for losing mail despite more than 99.93% of mail arriving safely and in 2006 was fined 11.7 million due to the amount of mail lost, stolen or damaged. According to Home Office figures from 2002 up to a million letters a week were lost or delivered to the wrong address.
The Chief Executive of Royal Mail, Adam Crozier has been quoted on various occasions as saying that “every single letter is important.”
Industrial relations
See also: 2007 Royal Mail industrial disputes
See also: Communication Workers Union (UK)
Royal Mail has been at the centre of a number of industrial disputes during its history – notably the national wildcat strikes in 2003 and a seven-week strike in 1971. By Autumn 2007, disputes began to escalate into industrial action. In mid October unions and management agreed a resolution to the dispute.
In December 2008, workers at Mail Centres affected by proposals to rationalise the number of Mail Centres (particularly in North West England) again voted for strike action on Friday 19 December, potentially affecting Christmas deliveries. The action was postponed less than 24 hours before staff were due to walk out.
Localised strikes have taken place across the UK from June 2009 and these have grown in frequency throughout the summer. There is currently a ballot on national industrial action, over Royal Mail’s failure to reach a national agreement covering protection of jobs, pay, terms and conditions and the cessation of managerial executive action. The result will be known by 9 October 2009 .
Fleet
Royal Mail Ford Transit van
Royal Mail is famous for its custom load carrying bicycles (rack and basket built into the frame), made by Pashley Cycles for the past 10+ years. Since 2000, their old bikes have been shipped to Africa by Re~Cycle (10,000 as of 2008) .
In addition to running a large number of road vehicles, Royal Mail uses trains, a ship and some aircraft, with an air hub at East Midlands Airport.
The following aircraft are included in the dedicated fleet:
1x Boeing 737-3Y0 G-ZAPV operated by Titan Airways.
British Airways aircraft are also used for airmail deliveries and bear a small Royal Mail logo towards the rear of the fuselage.
The RMS St Helena is a cargo and passenger ship that serves the British overseas territory of Saint Helena. It sails between Cape Town and Saint Helena, occasionally visiting the dependencies of Ascension Island and Tristan da Cunha. It also visits the Isle of Portland, England twice per year. It is one of the last remaining ocean-going ships to carry the designation Royal Mail Ship.
The London Post Office Railway was axed by Royal Mail in 2003 – this had been a network of driverless trains running along a private underground track since 1927.
Business services
The Royal Mail runs, alongside its stamped mail services, another sector of post called business mail. The large majority of Royal Mail’s business mail service is for PPI or franked mail, where the sender prints their own ‘stamp’. For PPI mail this involves either a simple rubber stamp and an ink pad, or a printed label. For franked mail, a dedicated franking machine is used.
Bulk business mail attracts reduced prices if the sender prints an RM4SCC barcode, or prints the address in a specified position on the envelope using a font readable by optical character recognition (OCR) equipment. There are no facilities to read addresses in these formats from general mail.
In the Media
In 2009, BBC show Top Gear (2002 TV series) presenters, James May and Richard Hammond in a Porsche Panamera raced aganist the Royal Mail to deliver a letter. The raced started in the Isles of Scilly and finished in the Orkney Islands. The letter reached the mainland first, but the car overtook the letter while it was in the sorting office in Truro. The letter did finally overtake the car shortly after leaving East Midlands airport. The letter opened up a lead of 115 miles when it reached RAF Kinloss. However after going on a lorry to Inverness Sorting Office, the car took the lead again. But the letter took the lead while on a plane to the Orkneys. The letter won the race by less than 10 minutes.

USPS shipping time help?
Ok. So I bought something over a month ago on media mail (A cheap way of delivery) and its not here. The estimated delivery time was 4 to 11 business days. The 11th business day was july 12th though!! The track and confirm thing on the website said, “Your item was processed through and left our (location 2 hours from where I live) facility on July 4, 2010. The item is currently in transit to the destination”. Does anyone have ANY IDEA what, where or why this is??? Its a low chance that it was lost because it was processed through a facility 2 hours away from where I live. PLEASE HELP!
The same thing happened to me. My delivery confirmation said the same thing as yours. It left the location (1 hour away from where I live) on July 28. It should be here by now, mine and yours. Be warned about USPS, even though the package went through 1 hour away from where I live, I still have not received my package. I think mine’s got lost, so yours might be too. USPS has a reputation of being the most crappiest shipping service. To make sure your package didn’t get lost, contact USPS.
http://www.usps.com/customerservice/welcome.htm
I buy from UPS now. I hate USPS.
