'So this move to circumvent post offices is a worry for sub-postmasters. Nick Landon, its chief commercial officer, said: 'Whether you're up against time and working from home, making a return, selling online or sending a gift, Parcel Collect is here to help.'īut Peter Hall, from the National Federation of Sub-postmasters, said: 'Sub-postmasters act as a salesforce for Royal Mail services, providing expert advice and guidance to customers, as well as a trusted and safe environment to send letters and parcels.

In the three months to the end of June, the company delivered 788 million fewer letters than in the same period of 2019, a 33 per cent fall. This year has been particularly harsh, with the pandemic increasing the rate of the fall. Since 2004 the number of letters it delivers has halved. Royal Mail has been forced to rely increasingly on parcels, as letters drop in importance with the dominance of email. Online shopping is booming, with sales in August 47 per cent up on pre-lockdown levels, according to the Office for National Statistics. ![]() Royal Mail had been testing its system in the west of England, but today announced that it will be extended across the country.
