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.

We work closely with a variety of stakeholders to highlight concerns and issues that consumers and SMEs face when accessing postal services. CAS is committed to representing the needs and interests of all Scottish consumers, including disabled, isolated, and financially vulnerable consumers. In September 2020, CAS commissioned Progressive Partnership Ltd to carry out qualitative research exploring the accessibility of postal services for a number of specific groups. The research also examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on access to postal services. When we use the phrase “postal services”, we are referring to both the letters and parcels market. We examined deliveries that are serviced by both Royal Mail (the Universal Service Provider) and other parcel delivery operators.

    DMM Advisory Keeping You Informed About Classification and Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service

    July 2, 2021 DMM Advisory Keeping you informed about classification and mailing standards of the United States Postal Service UPDATE 184: International Mail Service Updates Related to COVID-19 On July 2, 2021, the Postal Service received notifications from various postal operators regarding changes in international mail services due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The following countries have provided updates to certain mail services: Mauritius UPDATE: Mauritius Post has advised that the Government of Mauritius has announced the easing of COVID-related restrictions as of July 1, 2021, subject to strict adherence to sanitary protocols and measures. On July 15, 2021, Mauritius will gradually open its international borders. However, COVID-19 continues to have a direct impact on international inbound and outbound mails to and from Mauritius. Therefore, the previously announced provisions and force majeure continue to apply for all inbound and outbound international letter-post, parcel-post and EMS items. New Zealand UPDATE: New Zealand Post has advised that the level-2 alert in the Wellington region has ended as of June 29, 2021. Panama UPDATE: Correos de Panama has advised that post offices, mail processing centers (domestic and international) and the air transhipment office at Tocúmen International Airport are operating under normal working hours and the biosafety measures established by the Ministry of Health of Panama (MINSA). Correos de Panamá confirms that it is able to continue to receive inbound mail destined for Panama. However, Correos de Panama is unable to guarantee service standards for inbound and outbound mail. As a result, force majeure with respect to quality of service for all categories of mail items will apply until further notice.

    Parcel Post Manual

    UNIVERSAL POSTAL UPU UNION Parcel Post Manual Berne 2013 International Bureau of the Universal Postal Union July 1, 2015 Parcel Post Manual (Update 3) Preface to Bookmarked Edition The Parcel Post Manual (2013) is published by the International Bureau of the Universal Postal Union. It reproduces the Universal Postal Convention adopted by the 2012 Doha Congress of the Universal Postal Union and the Parcel Post Regulations adopted by the Postal Operations Council. The 2012 Convention and associated Parcel Post Regulations will be in effect from January 1, 2014, until December 31, 2017. The International Bureau updates the Parcel Post Manual periodically to include new or revised Parcel Post Regulations adopted by the Postal Operations Council. In general, but with some exceptions, the Regulations are adopted by the Postal Operations Council under the general authority of Articles 113(1)(13) and 141 of the General Regulations and not pursuant to an explicit delegation of authority in the Convention. The most recent update of the Parcel Post Manual, Update 3, was published in March 2015. The Parcel Post Manual also includes copies of selected Resolutions and Decisions ("Other Decisions by Congress") adopted by the Doha Congress and related to the Parcel Post. The UPU treats these Resolutions and Decisions as binding legal measures although there is no provision in the Constitution which explicitly authorizes the Congress to act legislatively by resolution or decision. The order of presentation in the Parcel Post Manual does not follow the order of the Universal Postal Convention. Articles of the Convention are organized according to topics. Parcel Post Regulations (numbered, RL xxx) follow the Articles of the Convention to which they logically relate.

  • The Postal Paradox: How Having No Address Keeps People Homeless

    The Postal Paradox: How Having No Address Keeps People Homeless

    The postal paradox: how having no address keeps people homeless Gemma Byrne Contents Summary 2 Introduction 4 The ‘catch-22’: how no fixed address can mean no support 5 Missing important correspondence can have serious consequences 7 Without an address to put on applications homeless people are 12 excluded from the services they need Citizens Advice’s proposed solutions: building on existing services 14 Practical considerations for our proposed solutions 17 What’s next? Collaborating with Royal Mail, the Post Office and 18 others 1 Summary A fixed postal address is vital for homeless people to access and engage with the services they need. However, being homeless means many people won’t have access to a fixed postal address. This leaves homeless people trapped in a catch-22 situation where they can’t access support for being homeless because of the fact that they’re homeless. This research looks at the impact of not having a fixed postal address. It draws on interviews with homeless people and day centre staff, surveys of local Citizens Advice staff and MPs, and conversations with national homeless charities. The findings show that having no fixed postal address prevents people from accessing the support they need in 2 ways: 1. Homeless people are likely to miss important correspondence​. Many letters sent to homeless people - such as those from the Jobcentre, courts and healthcare services - contain dates for important appointments. Missing the letter is likely to mean missing the appointment, and this can have serious consequences. These include benefit sanctions, arrest warrants, dropping down waiting lists and even missing out on housing.

    Delivering for all How vulnerable groups access post in Scotland Who we are Scotland’s Citizens Advice Network empowers people in every corner of Scotland through our local bureaux and national services by providing free, confidential, and independent advice. We use people’s real-life experiences to influence policy and drive positive change. We are on the side of people in Scotland who need help, and we change lives for the better. Introduction Citizens Advice Scotland (CAS) undertakes advocacy on behalf of Scottish consumers in the postal market. We work closely with a variety of stakeholders to highlight concerns and issues that consumers and SMEs face when accessing postal services. In September 2020, CAS commissioned Progressive Partnership Ltd to carry out qualitative research exploring the accessibility of postal services1 for a number of specific groups. The research also examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on access to postal services. Background CAS has undertaken previous research which shows that there are barriers to accessing post for certain sections of Scottish communities2 3 4 5. These barriers can include the interception of mail, lack of a fixed address, difficulties in using “care of” addresses and concerns around affordability of services. Some Scottish consumers may be especially at risk of having poor access to post and are more vulnerable to the adverse impacts which can accompany this. There are concerns that people in the following categories are particularly negatively affected by a lack of access: > Asylum seekers and refugees6 > Those who are homeless > Survivors of domestic abuse7 > Residents of rural/remote rural areas8 > Members of the Gypsy/Traveller community These categories are not mutually exclusive, and individuals may fall into one or more of these groups.
