Domino’s to take over Royal Mail deliveries

Delivery News: The Government has announced plans to allow Domino’s Pizza to take over postal delivery from the Royal Mail, starting in 2013.

“Domino’s Pizza has a proven track record for quick, efficient delivery of items across most of the U.K,” said Postal Affairs Minister Norman Lamb.

“They also have delivery staff capable of not stealing or throwing the pizza in a hedge before you get it, which I’m sure postal customers will welcome.”

Domino’s say they are looking forward to the challenges that delivering both post and pizzas will bring.

“Customers posting letters will be asked to use foil envelopes, to avoid any grease from the pizza box soaking through,” said spokesman Dolph F. Carasau.

“Of course postal prices will have to be significantly raised, although we will be urging customers to take advantage of the ‘Two For Tuesday’ offer – when you can post two letters for the same price as one. Even if you don’t actually want to post two letters and the second letter will end up in the bin, unread.”
