Callers office Highshore Road - long queues


VerryBerry

Recommended Posts

Are there any plans to increase the number of staff on the counter at the callers office in Peckham (opp Clarks /Superdrug), increase the timings and offer another 'long day for collection in addition to the Wednesday, especially in light of the planned closure of the one currently serving Dulwich. Currently standing in a long queue (up the top of the ramp, into car park area) loosing the will to live. It's only going to get worse due to increase in internet shopping etc

Why have residents not been informed of the closing date and the new arrangements?


It would hardly have been difficult to post information leaflets through doors which they go to every day!

While I thoroughly sympathise with the shoddy position the closure has left people in, please don't get parcels delivered to a work address if you work in central London! It's estimated that up to 20% of central London congestion (and therefore pollution) is caused by light vans, primarily delivering internet purchases to offices. As sensibly suggested, choose an alternative delivery company at checkout if possible, or order to an Amazon collection point etc.

Agree about private couriers, but a Royal Mail parcel to a work place address will be as part of the regular delivery. i.e. no impact.

Yes very fair point - I was thinking of the many people I know who have their Amazon packages sent to their work by other couriers.

Terrible service. Went to Sylvester Rd because delivery card from last week didn't say it was closing. Still has Sylvester for missed collections.


Went to Highshore Rd (4km from my flat); hand-scrawled sign said the desk wouldn't open at normal time due to staff issues.


Waited 20 minutes listening to the whoops and shouts of staff inside, before folding. Complete joke what's happened to Royal Mail. Perhaps the government did get a good deal with the selloff, because I can't believe it'll be around much longer....

I emailed Helen Hayes with concerns about the closure of Sylvester Road, who replied last night. She?s asked we share details of issues with her to support her conversation with Royal Mail about setting up an ED collection



if you?ve stood in a long queue or had issues with your post since the move I reckon it?s worth sending her a quick email or tweet.


I?m receiving reports of queues, delays & problems with mail deliveries in #SE22 following the Royal Mail delivery office closure - if this is affecting you, please email me with details at [email protected] so I can represent your views to Royal Mail— Helen Hayes (@helenhayes_) September 18, 2018

This week a letter was delivered to my door which CLEARLY had another number on it- and a different name- luckily I caught the postie (not one of our regulars btw)

Today a parcel for us with the name and address correctly written and that was supposed to be signed for was put in NEXT DOOR's BIN (even though we have no instruction to the royal mail for putting anything anywhere and the item is worth ?50) and the card put through THEIR front door along with another letter meant for us. Luckily our neighbour- who is not always there- brought the things to us. What a joke. I am going to complain- but nothing will change

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
