Royal Mail product changes - Redelivery Local Collect service
On 26 September 2008, Royal Mail applied for a Direction from Postcomm for exemption from the three month notification period required by Condition 7 for it to waive the 50p Redelivery Local Collect charge during December 2008. It proposed to make this change available to all recipients of items that have not been delivered on the first attempt.
On 7 October 2008, Postcomm issued a consultation letter seeking views on Royal Mail’s request for an exemption from certain requirements of Condition 7 and Postcomm’s initial assessment. The consultation closed on 7 November 2008.
During this period, Postcomm received representations from the DX Group, Consumer Focus, HM Revenue & Customs, the Communication Workers Union and Royal Mail.
On 26 November 2008, Postcomm issued a direction excepting Royal Mail from the requirement under Condition 7 to give three months notice for it to wave the 50p Redelivery Local Collect charge during December 2008.
