Could Tesco be an alternative to the Royal Mail and Post Office?
Post Office, Tesco October 8th, 2007
With the current postal strikes damaging small businnesses everyone is looking for a resonablily priced alternative.
Could Tesco provide it?
This isn’t as pie in the sky as you may think.
Tesco have a store close to everyone that could be used as a collection point, they already have transportation between stores and hubs and the key to the operations, there home delivery service could double as a post delivery service.
It’s not as crazy as you may think, I’m sure Tesco would love to have a service where they could advertise directly into every home, maybe they could make people use Tesco envelopes, blue and white strips of course.
Any other thought are welcome.
As you will see in my previous post there is no alternative to the Royal Mail, although it’s not looking fit for a queen at the moment.

we are heavily dependant on the postal service as we are growing into a sizeable print management business. A great deal of our orders, invoices, cheques, proofs are required to arrive at a certain time from posting. our business is very time sensitive and the present mail service from our area of Nottingham is nothing less than abismal. Our suppliers don’t receive orders, we dont receive orders, and we have cheques for our suppliers and from our customers missing on a weekly basis!
