Royal Mail Sells Items On Ebay!

It's no wonder Royal Mail customers are up in arms, but this time its not about post office closures. News has it that the Post Office auctions off the contents of 75,000 undelivered packages that become "lost in the post" each year.

A Royal Mail spokesman said: "Each year 500,000 parcels are undeliverable because they are either incorrectly addressed or have no address or the intended recipient has moved.

"We do all we can to reunite them with their owners at a cost of £10 million a year."
The spokesman said around 15 per cent of lost items were sold off, "a very small part of the cost of running the centre".

Customers who have seen rare items on the ebay site have claimed that items were correctly labeled and claim the post office do not make every effort to return the goods to the rightful owner.

As a customer who has had several items 'stolen' while in transit with the post office, i cannot say i am surprised by this news. After all how else will they pay Adam Crozier that £370k bonus!
