This mail is then passed through Royal Mail's system for delivery men and women to deliver 'the final mile'. Royal Mail workers do the work and the likes of TNT take the profits! Royal Mail was and is still being prohibited from competing with these companies on a level playing field because, according to Postcomm, it has an 'unfair competitive advantage'. In 2006 it fined Royal Mail £1 million because it did not have 'adequate measures within its wholesale and retail divisions to prevent it obtaining an unfair advantage over its competitors'. Meaning, quite simply, that Royal Mail has the superior infrastructure and resources to sort and deliver this mail cheaper than the private companies – and this is, apparently, a problem. You could not make it up! A large percentage of this business mail is what formerly subsidised ordinary stamped mail and the universal service which guarantees a daily delivery from Land's End to John O'Groats for every member of the public.
