Overview Ofcom has undertaken a comprehensive review of the needs of postal users across the UK, to see if the requirements placed on Royal Mail reflect what people and businesses need today. We have looked in detail at how satisfied people and small businesses are with the current postal service, and what alternatives would meet their needs. This document explains our findings. The universal postal service is relied upon by millions of people and businesses across the UK. As the postal regulator, our goal is to make sure postal users benefit from a universal service that meets their needs. In doing so we also consider whether the service is sustainable and efficient. The minimum requirements of the universal service are set out in legislation. These include requirements on Royal Mail to deliver letters six days a week and parcels five days a week, at an affordable and geographically uniform price to every address in the UK.

  • Summary of Consumer Feedback on the Draft Copper Withdrawal Code
    Project no. 13.07/16502 Public version Summary of consumer feedback on the draft Copper Withdrawal Code Date of publication: 6 August 2020 About this document This document summarises the feedback we received from consumers on our draft Copper Withdrawal Code. We published the draft Code on 20 May 2020 and invited consumers to tell us their views, including by completing an online feedback form that asked questions about some key aspects of the Code. Feedback closed on 17 July 2020 and overall 148 New Zealanders provided us with feedback. This document includes: • A foreword from the Telecommunications Commissioner; • A summary of the key themes from the feedback we received; • A copy of the information provided to consumers and the questions on the feedback form; and • A copy of each completed feedback form. We note that some of the feedback was marked as confidential, so we have removed these from this document, however all feedback has contributed to the key themes. Foreword Kia ora, Ngā mihi mo to whakaaro. Thank you for submitting your views on the draft 111 Contact and Copper Withdrawal Codes. These draft Codes are important for consumers: ➢ The draft 111 Contact Code ensures that vulnerable consumers, or persons on their behalf, have reasonable access to an appropriate way to contact the 111 emergency service in the event of a power failure. ➢ The draft Copper Withdrawal Code includes the minimum protections for consumers required by law that need to be met before Chorus can stop supplying copper phone and broadband services. The Code cannot stop the phasing out of the copper network, as New Zealand moves to fibre, but will help ensure a smoother transition between networks.

The national postal operator in Denmark said the disruption to its communications systems also meant that customers were unable to contact customer service regarding their inability to track their packages. Despite the problems, the company insisted yesterday that it is now back to delivering letters and parcels on time. Post & Parcel: PostNL will be increasing its prices from the beginning of August, with the basic rate for a domestic letter rising 11% to 60c. The Dutch postal service said the rate increases are necessary to counter the impacts of the country’s 8-10% annual decline in mail volumes. Letters going to European destinations will see rates rise to 96c, while letters going to the rest of the world will be charged at EUR 1. Business rates will also increase from 1st August, the company said. The basic rate for franked mail will be EUR 0.52. Despite beginning a “rigorous” series of restructuring effort and cost-saving plans, PostNL said its universal postal service is loss- making as a result of the large volume declines, while it continues to meet its obligation to guarantee mail delivery within 24 hours and maintain networks of 2,000 post offices and 15,000 mailboxes.
