PHILIPRISING Posted March 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Is anyone else in the country having problems with postal deliveries of their Star or is it just areas of West Central Scotland? I used to get mine on a Thursday, now it's any day up to Tuesday. I phoned Pinegen and was told subsription copies went out First Class on Wednesday. I phoned Royal Mail and was told First Class didn't mean day delivery and it could be up to ten days. The woman at R.M. said that the delivery contract was between R.M. and S.S. and my complaint was with S.S. It is on sale on Thursday in a supermarket five miles from me. SORRY you are having problems with delivery of your Speedway Star. Think that Royal Mail are simply passing the buck. Nothing we can do beyond paying for a first class service and hoping that Royal Mail literally deliver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, it's only parts of the area that the problem seem to arise. People five and ten miles from me can get it on Thursday, so why can't I? Right enough last weeks copy, which arrived yesterday, was opened so maybe the postie reads it first.

Black Angus Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 SORRY you are having problems with delivery of your Speedway Star. Think that Royal Mail are simply passing the buck. Nothing we can do beyond paying for a first class service and hoping that Royal Mail literally deliver. Very unlike you to give a brush-off, Philip. Tyretrax is just one of maybe 25 local-to-Glasgow subscribers I know of who are suffering from a truly awful service. We do talk to each other, you know. You do have a real problem -- people who complain to your office when they don't have their Star by (say) Monday get another copy posted to them, which invariably arrives the very next day, usually along with the missing copy. For you to say that you pay Royal Mail for a first-class service and then just shrug your shoulders and say you then just hope they deliver isn't really good customer service. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remembertheracers Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 A few years back it was late even in Reading! I rang Royal Mail to complain, got nowhere. Then wrote threatening to send lettersj to the local rag (which no longer exists) and my MP. Since then I have received the Star every Thursday, only once was it two days late.

What do you want him to do? Deliver the mag personally? Once the mag has left the printers/office, it's in Royal Mail's hands, which, to me, makes it an issue (no pun intended) to take up with Royal Mail (always providing it's been sent by Pinegen, of course). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be one of the few that have never had an issue with the Royal Mail. The only difference between 1st & 2nd class these days is the price. Must add I've never had a problem with my Star delivery. Edited March 8, 2017 by MrBeanti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WE do complain but are always told that the complaint should go to the local sorting office in question.. Although they do not guarantee next day delivery it is an expectation.

Mimmo Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Over the past the few years, I think I've probably had to contact the SS around four or five times as my copy has never arrived. Without any questions asked, they've always put another one in post, which I believe I'm right in saying has arrived the next day, although at the same time, the original has NEVER arrived.
