Believe it or not without the van in the postal service we would be even more lost in the UK than we are today. With the Royal Mail in ruins and once again on strike it begs the question, how on earth do they deliver the mail on a normal day, let alone the days in which they strike on. Well here is how it is supposed to work.

Well what is meant to happen is that the postman will recieve a lot of letters and parcels to deliver to all of the roads he has been assigned. Once the postman is out of mail he will stop and wait for the red van to pull up. When this arrives the driver will unload the next lot of mail for the postal worker to take to the next lot of roads on his lengthy route. So why is it never on time?

Time is actually very important here as they start later. Postman are not allowed to start as early as they used too which is partly why we do not get our post until at the very earliest 1pm every single day. This is really bad compared to the days in which people were receiving two lots of post in the same day. This was actuallythe entire purpose of 1st and 2nd mail. The 1st lot was also meant to arrive at your door before you left for work in the morning.

Nowadays you are lucky to get it before you get home.

With more postal strikes occurring, businesses have finally realised that the Royal Mail are not up to the job. The Queen is still sticking to her guns and sending post out via the Royal Mail but does anyone actually care what she thinks?

Would it be easier for smaller company’s to look into getting van leasing UK or van contract hire to get ahead of the Royal Mail? Commercial vehicle leasing has allowed many people to start up businesses because it would seem it is cheaper than buying the vehicle outright.
