Laxey Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 I have just received notification that two of my latest purchases on Amazon are being delivered by Isle of Man Post Office, with IOM Post tracking numbers (ending in IM) rather than the usual Royal Mail (which then gets handled by IOM Post)… ….is IOM Post Office actually being proactive now and going direct to the likes of Amazon to win back some parcel business lost to MIC/Evri?

kevster Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Doesn't it depend on the size of the delivery and who is sending it? Not everything on Amazon is fulfilled by them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I guess it does….two of my latest deliveries are quoted as IOM Post Office (which I have never seen before…previously been Royal Mail which IOM Post handle when it gets here) …I have another which is going to be Evri….so I guess the IOM Post have not got Amazon all to themselves.

Roger Ram Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Most of our recent Amazon deliveries have been IOM Post, and nearly always here within a couple of days. Fair play to them if they are actually proactively picking up that work 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevster Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 If it has a IoM Post tracking number instead of a Royal Mail one, they wont be getting any extra cash for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if IOM Post are getting the parcels direct from Amazon rather than through a third party (Royal Mail) IOM Post will, potentially, get more income than just the handling fee from Royal Mail? Depends on what has been negotiated to get this new arrangement in place I guess! However, yes, the parcels on their way to me have definitely got IOM Post tracking numbers (AA12345678IM) rather than Royal Mail ones (YZ98765432GB). I would hope this arrangement puts IOM Post in a better income position as I personally have never had an issue with deliveries through the post office (albeit they take a day longer now since the cancellation of the plane which wasn’t IOM Post fault). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 (edited) Have to say, recent Amazon orders have arrived when advised. Definitely an improvement rather than automatically adding a day or two to the notified delivery date for the actual delivery date. Have one due for delivery tomorrow, so let's see. ETA, the tracking shows IOM Post with an IM suffix in the tracking number. Edited July 12 by Gladys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Voice of Reason Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 I’m an eBay sort of guy. Not sure who does local deliveries here but usually comes a few days after ordering. I would probably use Amazon more if it wasn’t for the sleazy tactics employed in trying to sign you up for Amazon Prime. At least you know where you are with eBay, not perfect every time but you don’t have to go through the rigmarole of opting out of Prime whilst never really being sure you have done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would I go somewhere in my spare time to buy shampoo? I will happily go to a shop with personal service for a product that needs a bit of a hands on experience or professional input and pay a premium for it. Shampoo? I will have that waiting for me when I get home for less outlay. Why wouldn’t I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
