Royal Mail Health …… do they really think we are that stupid?

I am fortunate enough to have an excellent independent pharmacy a 5 minute walk away.

I support them because they offer a huge range of services, staff is always pleasant and knowledgeable.
They are open 6 days a week and carry a great stock.

Today I had a leaflet to say Royal Mail Health has teamed up with Pharmacy2U to deliver meds direct to my door.

I have a number of issues with this.
Firstly our postal staff are useless and the service is dire particularly during school holidays.
Despite being in a City we sometimes only get three deliveries a week.

Medication could easily get into the wrong hands and most importantly if local pharmacies are not used we will lose them!

Royal Mail must think the great British public are completely stupid to think that because they now have a health app they are all caring, the app is only a collaboration with Pharmacy2U, it has no other benefits.

We must be lucky with RM around here. If there’s a choice between RM and say Evri when I’m shopping online, I pick RM for delivery every time, even if it costs a fraction more.
At least I know our postman won’t dump my parcel on someone else’s doorstep.

Never had a problem with Royal Mail delivering our medication.
My only wory is that our postman leaves it in our closed porch, which the dogs often sit in, so I need to be vigilant. But that's my problem, not Royal Mail's.
