Do you ever feel as though your mail is
0:01
taking ages to deliver? Well, you might
0:04
not be imagining things. According to
0:08
the Royal Mail has fallen well short of
0:11
its official delivery time targets for
0:14
first and secondass mail. Offcom today
0:17
handed Royal Mail a 21 million pound
0:20
fine for failing to meet those targets.
0:23
In fact, it's the third consecutive fine
0:26
that the Royal Males got in a row from
0:28
Aqua after they were also fined last
0:30
year and the year before. They also fell
0:33
short of targets the year before that
0:35
too, although Ofcom said that was down
0:38
to the pandemic, so it was out of for
0:40
males hands. The 21 million pound fine
0:42
is also the third largest fine media
0:44
regulator has ever handed to someone.
0:48
And Ofcom also handed the Royal Mail a
0:50
warning. They said they would be finding
0:52
them again next year for a fourth time
0:55
if they continue to fail to meet those
0:57
delivery targets. However, there could
0:59
be a reprieve for the Royal Mail because
1:02
Offcom early this year softened those
1:04
targets, meaning they should be easier
