I found this quote in a local paper.
a spokesman for Royal Mail, said…
figures show that Special Delivery is not only the most effective premium service of its kind but by far the most value for money of its kind.
"Loss is extremely rare and delivery levels, while just short of targets, are still more than 97 per cent, far ahead of any competitor.
If you lost 2 or 3 loads in every hundred. that’s about 3 per year, how would you boss respond ?.

Think he was refering to 97% delivered on time, not 3% lost. Loss rates within RM are not that high compared to other carriers. When I was working as a contract manager for Parcelforce the loss rates from the computer companies I was working on were far less then 1/1500, which considering laptops were being sent in boxes that said “laptop” on it was not a bad loss rate.
This was loss rate, it relates to an article on some lost photo’s for the whole article look here.

The quote was.

thats delivery levels are more than 97%, not deliveries on time or in good condition, but delivery levels.
I know, But RM classes delivery levels as the items that are deliverd on time, Hence that line should have a full stop and not a comma. If the loss rate was 3% then RM would have gone bust long ago, instead the government dip into it’s bank accounts every year and clear all the profits out…
