- increase the price of the basic service. There is little extra cost
in securing a signature at the door in comparison with the logistics cost,
so the real cost is closer to £1 than 34p. Would you be willing to pay
£1 per item?

Um, there's quite a large increase in cost. Consider an urban round - unlike
couriers, the postie will have mail for most of the street, so the
difference between "in the letterbox" and "ring, wait, get signature, ..."
is significant. A courier doing say 20 drops is rather different to a postie
doing a few hundred, and the cost reflects that.

Yes, the post model relies on lots of people using it.

Is it just RM you hate, or are all the equivalents in other countries also
on your hit list?
