- Royal Mail employees have been on strike for the last 3 days. This video shows what actually happens when they all return to work.
NOTE : The price of 1st Class postage has increased from 32p to 39p since this video was broadcast. - Навчання та стиль

I'm procrastinating so hard right now
hahah
mood
I don't even live in the UK that's how hard I'm procrastinating
I beg your pardon...
I can't believe there are people who think a full name on the envelope will suffice!
The Duke of Wellington and Sherlock Holmes are the easiest to find
You don’t think “Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II R.D.g.” will suffice?
The post office know Sherlock Holmes address of 221b Baker Street.Wellingtons address now a museum is simply Number 1 Knightsbridge the only address officialy not requiring a post code.
not everyone is perfect like you
@@videocurios Plus there are many instances of letters being sent to people who live in small towns and villages, with only the recipients name and town/village written on the envelope but because the location is small and close-knit the postman/woman is able to ascertain where the letter needs to go.
The postal service has always been a source of wonder for me: Pop a letter, with a red stamp with the Queen's head on it, into a red cylinder into the street and as if by magic, materialize in London. Or order online, without having any verbal contact with the seller, then you receive a package with YOUR address written on it from someone you never met with the item you bought exactly! What a coincidence!
Or if you are the Queen pour some ink on your envelope and smack the side of your head against it.
@@mjptrapster 🤣😂👍
But if your item is larger than 35.3 X 25 X 2.5 it will take about a week
i know I am pretty randomly asking but do anyone know of a good site to watch new movies online?
@Judson Ishaan thank you, I signed up and it seems to work :) I appreciate it !!
Best mail delivery service in the world, they deliver my fucking bills on time every time, the bastards.
The Royal Mail has become a total scam. It's misleading customers and in return giving bad customer service poor excuse ignorant annoying negligence at all times just read the complaints there is no positive review given. It may be the first world courier service but the bloody slowest. After its privatisation it's feeding off extra paying customers on first class premium mail delivery options so the business can survive longer. I don't give a single fuck from the workers whining either, I payed for my service so I want my deliveries on time infact I'm the reason you have that job. Dozen within the workforce turned out to be thieves in rightful term 'scum' and in medieval times it was treason death penalty. Don't be mugged for sending Special Delivery or similar options it's all 2nd Class anyway like No Show Up, 1st Class Stolen or Damaged Class. Royal Fail
Dropping parcels in bins nowadays who knows how many parcel have been tipped into rubbish. Leaving 'Sorry you were out' card' when you were in and them without knocking your door or ringing the bell. I have these dumb acts on evidence with CCTV Door cam. Then if they fuck up they have the nerve to offer 41p Royal Mail stamps and £50 compensation item when your could be 100 times the value.
This is gold ahaha
Honda ASIMO I've never had an issue....
You're obviously too thick to buy a Parcel-Safe. Thicko.
I find it astounding that someone would post a letter with only the persons name on... These people live amongst us but you never know who they are lol....
Beasley Court, I heard you can spot them by their lack of reflection in mirrors

I feel as it has a bit more of a sad tone, maybe someone who has dementia.
@@skelly7987 Yeah that's a good point.
lmao, we got taught in school how to write letters. Once our class all wrote letters to the prime minister at downing street during the early 00s. Out of everyone in my class I got a reply back. My parents, teachers were all shocked that an 7/8 year old got a letter lol. I think i still have the letter somewhere, its was my first one ever I got
Most of the British public do not realise just how good RM is. Try living in a lot of other countries.I lived in the Philippines for 3 years, and the postal service there is diabolical. I sent a letter just 50 km from my home. It took 14 days to get there, and it had been opened, to see if there was anything in it worth stealing.
The customs charge is nothing to do with RM, that is down to HMCS, Her Majesty's Customs Service. Royal Mail cannot levy customs charges.
It's better in Finland and Germany.
fred grove Yes but they charge a ridiculous amount on top.for "processing" that charge and collecting from the airport. I was charged as much again as the duty was.
fred grove The Philipinees must be running Royal Mail here then.
Privatisation destroyed Royal Mail, all the greedy bosses are worried about the money 💷 they can cream of the company
"the latest sack-on-road technology" haha!
being an offroad postman looks like a nice job. drivind around on your quad all day :)
Are you still alive?
Who ever made this video ought to start a company which creates videos of how things work.
It was quite entertaining, informative and interesting as well. Especially as I work for the United States Postal Service and have some simliar operations but also different methods.
I have been to England a few times and every little nuance fascinates me. Especially the public transportation. It's fantastic. A bus came by every 15-minutes and only cost a pound or two to ride. Easy to get around
You should do a comparison as to how they operate in 2022/23!
We could see the damage that's been done.
Great idea,the company is a joke now
It's worse than you think. Privatisation has hurt the staff.
That is stunning. That's like the best of the West, really. Everything so efficient and mechanized and I love the way a van will drive all that way just to deliver one card. And get there too. A whole country all knitted together by the post.
And how about all those people who just put names on the envelope and no address? How can 400 people a week do that?

Fiona Beswick lOl where r u from sexy
Jerry is after some bobs and vegene in the post
it really isn't as effecient as videos like this suggest, I worked at the huge sorting office here and the majority of workers are people that don't want to be there don't want to be working and have taken the job as a last chance effort to get the dole off their back about job hunting, most do it for christmas and just fuck around throwing shit and destroying peoples parcels, it was honestly shocking to me how some people will act while handling other peoples goods, i never used royal mail after that, i'd rather not have shit stained fingers gary wiping his ass with his hand and then wiping it on my parcels but that is the kinda shit you'll get there.
@@jerrybanana9538 that is the weirdest shit i've read on youtube in a while...
Me watching this after being angry at having to wait 2 hours for my package:
1 more hr for mine to come😔
It needs to be renationalised.
To all the people moaning about the price of a stamp - for that price your letter or parcel is delivered anywhere. Try putting same cost of fuel in your car and see how far you get. 1st class mail gets there next day 96% of the time. In any other sphere of life a 96% success rate is considered a dead cert, an amazing performance, an operation with a near certain chance of success, a First Class degree etc. Royal Mail does this every day. All the detractors - do you all perform at 96% in all areas of your life?
That doesn't explain the 237.5% inflation of the price of a stamp over the past 15 odd years.
@@szymongorczynski7621 or the fact that less than 96% of mail gets there on or within the time... as per RM's own figures.
Sorry did you just use the excuse of "its fine because its cheaper than driving" ?? yeah because that is how inflation works right? what a stupid fucking thing to say, not to mention the 96% success rate is complete and utter fucking bullshit, i worked there and there is absolutely no way that perctange of parcels arrive, the majority of the stuff gets kicked around by the part time dickheads who are only working there to keep the dole off their back for a few weeks and then bail. I have to assume you are a postie because only posties are this die hard defensive about the fucking royal mail xD
@@szymongorczynski7621 exactly! saying to people "it would cost you more in petrol" is zero excuse for the modern day pricing, the reason for it is privatization and greed, typical fucking tories
That’s cos there’s less letters now so the cost per letter increases
OH MY! MY LIFE IS A LIE!! I was told that once you put the letter through the post box, a short gremlin picks it up and through it underneath the ground in which the letter teleports to the destinations nearest postbox!! Never saying Hi to the gremlin inside the post box again..
Borat Sagdiyev 😂👍🏻
lol
There are short Gremlins working there I can assure you.
Only watching this because I’m impatiently waiting for Royal Mail to deliver my parcel that’s arriving internationally
Bless your heart, I'm an avid philately & postal service enthusiast (especially UK Royal Mail) and I admire postal workers very much. I'm always happy when a postman rings my door no matter if he brings me my delightful Amazon package or some dreadful overdue credit card notice (LOL). What you're doing is an honorable duty, sir, albeit a thankless one at times, I'm sure. And I thank you very much for that. Greetings from Indonesia.
the workers most of them atleast have my full respect, the place itself as a business a now private business with inflated prices not so much, the sorting offices take on mostly people that dont want to be there and often fuck with peoples mail, it is not as it seems on the outside.
The postman on the quad bike gets me 🤣
Well, that was a stunning piece of PR.
If you believe that, you'll believe anything
Love it what a brilliant video I will never complain again about how much a stamp costs and the video made me giggle as well thankyou.
Fantastic job that Royal Mail do. Video Journey of a letter to Scotland, very impressive.
I came her for a documentary on distribution... And you delivered!
Thanks for this, it was just what I was looking for, for my class. Saved me a bunch of time! Fab!
royal mail provides great service, on time delivery... thanks..
Manas Ghosh hi I'm just wondering how long it takes a parcel to clear in Langley, mine has been there since 16 February 2018, it's now the of 10 March. Just over 3 weeks, thanks

I watched this before bed and ngl it was pretty calming
Ah, good memories to this, I used to have a summers job in a mail sorting centre. One of the best summer jobs I've had, even though it was at an oviously fast pace.
We have a royal mail sorting office near me and what a wonderful site it is
The RM is amazing!!!! So reliable that the two biggest lies in the U.K. are:
1- "I promise you love, I'll finish outside"
2- "the cheque is in the mail"...
impressive. hope these type of postal services would be available in our county
Nice, I had to check the process of posting on UA-cam cos I had a post from Northern Island yesterday and this is 5:29am , it's in my area ready to be delivered this morning. Amazing. thank you postal workers for your services
Royal Mail need to build an incinerator for the bills.
And what do you do when gas, electricity and water are shut off?
@@TheWeepingDalek i cannot believe you actually answered him in a serious manner like it was a serious question
Enjoyed watching the video. As retired postman. Based in mail centre.
Why am I watching this nearly 12 years later?
school told me to
I watched this million of times and i live in the us
NED IS DELIGHTED TO GET A CARD IN THE POST BUT IS SAD BECAUSE HIS SISTER HAS ALZHEIMER'S.
We are using very similar mail system in Hong Kong and is very efficient.
What I do not know is that Royal Mail in UK has their own cargo flight. In Hong Kong, we use the payload of commercial airlines available, like Cathay Pacific Airway.
I am in HK too...I guess the system here was adopted from the British because there used to be red post boxes, I think, with the Queen on...1997 seems a long time ago now.
The sorting machines might be from UK, but I guess that some other server system would be obtained from other countries, like Europe and USA.
CarePeers Well, I dont know..its good though!
05:09 - 05:14 - Time to fly, time to fl ....... OI, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? LET GO OF ME!
WOW I DIDNT NOTICE ALL THE HARD WORK THEY DID
"She's banking her precious 32 pence on the Royal Mail getting it to them in time"
Haha. Boy I miss the days of a 1st-class stamp being just 32p 😂
Those people just writing a name must think the Royal Mail has the Skyrim courier working for them
They're in by mistake
Hi, I'm trying to use this as a source in some work I'm doing but I can't seem to figure out the original publisher of this content - I am assuming you did not create this short documentary. I was just hoping to find out the tv channel it came from or similar? Thanks
awesome, thanks for the videos
“Archie” 😂😂😂 I don’t know if it’s stupidity or optimistic
Brilliant video. Always wondered how it all works. 😂
Being a postman in the country looks fun. I want a quad.
32 pence! It's nearly 2 and a half times that price now!
why cant they build a high speed conveyor belt lets say, 15000mph, underground i must say... to my house and only my house, from every main depot in the uk, so me and only me can get my mail... instantly as quick as im posting this comment... why i ask? why me.
That wouldnt work. Imagine building a conveyor to every house built ever. Elon Musk is as dim as the dusk.
gosh how things have changed-a post box gets emptied once a day as early as 9am in villages and 5pm in towns so if you have a letter in a village box going in at noon there it will sit till 9am the day after,all collections used to be 4-5pm and 6.30pm in towns,then the letter can go in to the system and either arrive next day,arrive never or arrive a fortnight later with "not at no 32 try at number whatever" on it as its sat in the wrong house for a fortnight misdelivered untill its been kindly put back in the post.
29/01 23, 9am collections rarely occur within my post code area & neighbouring codes - the Day tabs indicate this. This does however jack up RM's 'efficiency.' Their Quality of Service results are based on Collection times - the time from when the mail is collected. Many p m collections have been scrapped so your letter won't be collected from these boxes until tomorrow, excluding Sundays & Bank Hol's, unless it shows an afternoon collection time. Comparing results may not be a like-for-like comparison when giving current & any previous Quality of Service data. RM now want to be a parcel & packet delivery business along with numerous competitors. Your groceries maybe arriving via your postperson who'll be competing for road space too along with half a dozen of the Supermarket's own vehicles out there as well, all claiming to have their own individual 'Green' credentials. What would Great say ?
real shame the watermark's been covered up, guess we'll never know where this video came from
Absolutely wonderful😌
How does one get to the positions of post men delivering and driving the van? Is sorting office a good way to earn money easy gruelling wayb
It operates really badly now with parcels being prioritised and mail not being delivered for days
RM has quads? I never knew that!
29/ 01 23, Not all Postal staff know what an lMS is. Can't imagine Quayside sorting in mid - Winter either. 1st class mail now almost £1.
Good for the post, although postman now arrives in the middle afternoon. My great grandad was a postman and he'd be turning in his grave if he knew this was happening now. Go for private companies when sending big parcels, half the cost and more efficient!
I'm watching this while royal mail delivers my PC
sometimes i really appreaciate just a delivery, a post man job is not an easy job, trust me it is hard and valuable.
I love Royal Mail. Their efficiency and reliability are amazing.
Were amazing
In Mexico, with that same location as destination that letter would never arrive I swear haha
omg hehe gonna be working for royal mail tomorrow ! :P
please i want to understand how RM works
You make it look like she's only emptied one postbox
I posted a letter 1st class. I think it was too thick because it hasn't arrived. Shouldn't the recipient receive a card asking to pay more postage? If so, how long will it take for them to receive that card?
32p?? The good old days. It's 60p now..
Ha! 76p now...
Wow it will soon be 70p for 1st class stamp
Lol i once refunded £250 shoes and it took 3 weeks till i got emailed that they received it but idk if thats royal mails fault or not
It's called an IMP. An Internal Mail Processor.
What i can say about royal mail...Best postal service in Europe
in finland itella you need wait 3 days 1st class post -,- but when i buy something in uk netshops i get my packet on 3 days or 1stclass 1-2 day (:
not his birthday till next month LOL
she doesn't trust Royal Mail to get it there on time ;-)
Damn... it amazes me people will just a name on an envelope and send it!! What the fack! They have better luck sending a smoke signal
Postman Pat cartoon is true. Postal service does have plane and off terrain vehicle!
37p will not pay for the hire of a boat and a quad bike, they seem like specialised/ personalised methods of delivery, what am I missing here?
Sam Parker If you take into account that 65 million letters are posted every day, thats about £20 million a DAY to fund all of what goes on, and that doesn't take into account all the parcels which costs about £3 to post. That is £7.3 billion funding for all of the post in the UK, and the boat is just for the Scottish Islands
Sam Parker
Tony stole the tenner out of the card to pay for his ferry ticket and fuel for his quad bike.
lifeguard2564 😂😂
The cost of the "personalised" services is subsidised by the shorter bulk delivery routes . That is what the universal service obligation is all about and what governments are helping to destroy !
By allowing other companies to muscle in on the more profitable areas they are in effect taking away funding from outlying areas .
Dean Keith Royal Mail has been privatised but they still serve these remote places
I appriciate royal mail do their best for us. But should be cheaper as it's always delayed
What's the rotating drum called? At 2:13, it says, "That's done by ..." What are the next words?
PSA ALL CUSTOMERS: On any piece of mail, write the postcode BIG and *BOLD*
At some stage, someone will sort your mail simply by glancing the postcode. Especially the people who haven't been there long.
1st line of address and postcode are the most important thing to make sure of.
And FFS, please check that your sticky labels on your plastic packaging doesn't easily peel off. One company kept sending us mail that had stickers sticking to stickers and pulling them off both pieces of mail so much that I just emailed the company 🤷🏻♂...
"Hi guys, so you're noticing a lot of your orders getting lost in the mail? I save as many as I can but here's what's happening."
"Dear sir, we were wondering about that, thank you for the information. It was most helpful.".
You're all welcome.
very hard job awesome
32 pence for a 1st class stamp, lol. Hello to 92 today!
70p
If i ordered a small parcel from a reliable website at 6pm on friday would it arrive the next day at my house?
Millie the culler.
Millie cause it sounds kinda like mail, culler cause, cull means to remove something from the rest of the stuff.
This just made me paranoid that my letter from the UK to Germany won’t arrive (will get lost) ://
I’ll update in a week ?
Can someone tell me what is the estimated shipping time to Israel? (Air)
Thanks
slender, do you really think that a private company will go to those lengths in the video for what 60p first class...i think not... thos epeople will be lucky if they get one delivery a week if privatisation goes ahead.
Do you know who the producer of this video is? Or who created it/where you got it from? Thanks
What move deliveries? Or move to a remote Scottish Island and be a postie there? Easier said than done.
Id love to have his job! I'd bet he loves riding that 4 wheeler... I would!
the end was funny after all of that running around neds birthday wasnt for another month lmfao
@onlywhenpissed dammn what happen to the money ? sorry i m in the state mate,hwo much was that in US currency the cash ned sister placein the letter?
I love how they " open your mail " for " clues " or in the gaming world " loot " >:(
god, the background music in this
You can barely get a letter to the sorting office for 32p. :D
soo how does international mail work.....
Perfect they are not, but are you??? They do a darn good job and I'm proud of them.
Best job. Riding a quad and only a small sack of mail to deliver. Probably spends more time chit chatting than working.
thanks you
6:20 I ROFL'ed rolled on the road? laughing :p
I got in trouble for sending a poison pen letter to someone I did not like in the post!
Amazing what you can get for 36p
When was a stamp 32p omg
39p for a first class stamp in 2010? It's 2022 and they're 95p now! I don't think money has inflated almost 3 times as much in 12 years :/
@nath453 3 days for you perhaps means absolutely nothing 3 days for an entire street means there was something wrong like I suggested. I question the validity of your statement, did you go and knock the door of everyone in your street to ask? How many houses are on your street? 20, 30, 100, 2? If the regular postie is ill a reserve will cover the duty or it will be covered on overtime.
what about post comming from oveeseas to the uk
I once flew into Gatwick and we passed a Boeing 747 and they where unloading mail into Royal Mail lorry's.
