ED Royal Mail Delivery Office


Recommended Posts

  • 4 weeks later...

I went this morning to collect a Special Delivery letter and the delivery office was shut. There was a note on the door saying that due to industrial action it would be closed on 09.09.09 and only open between 10-11am. I couldn't wait around as I had to get to work. I called the number on the back of card they left and they couldn't let me know when the office would be back to normal. Does anybody know whether or not they will be open tomorrow or whether I have to wait until next week?


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!


Thanks

Did you manage to pick up something this morning from the delivery office or are you talking about your normal post? I think that services are working in some capacity, but the Silvester Road delivery office was shut until 10am this morning. I need to pick up some concert tickets for next week so I'm hoping that it's open from 8am as normal tomorrow. If anybody knows whether or not it will be open as normal I'd appreciate a heads up!


Thanks

Hi mlteenie


I managed to pick up my tickets from the Silvester Road Delivery Office the next day (last Thursday) as it was open as normal. There are strikes in London (all areas except EC) this Wednesday (16th Sept) so I would take a punt that the delivery office will be closed again then, or at least have restricted opening hours. Maybe try popping along tomorrow?


Good luck!

I went into the Silvester Road sorting office today looking for a parcel that hadn't been delivered - the very helpful guy there - the one who remembers who regular customers are and where they live - said they had a two to two and a half week backlog of parcel deliveries. The posties themselves don't seem happy about disapointing customers; I am getting letter post in Underhill most days - but running 4-5 days late against normal delivery times (based on news magazine deliveries which are normally regular).


The guy in the office's advice if you wanted a delivery was to get it sent 'special' - these are given priority - but at a cost

I went in to the sorting office the other day and the guy on the counter said that RM is in chaos with a huge backlog of post. Special and Recorded are prioritised. I am waiting for four or five packages for up to two weeks now and basically the posties won't work overtime so the backlog will only be gradually reduced.

We are all going to have to hang in there until the whole thing is resolved, only then discovering whether our parcels have actually gone missing or not. It is a pain.

I went to the post office yesterday and the nice man at the sorting office said that there was a 2 weeks backlog which would take around 3 weeks to clear. I have been waiting on items from amazon for over 2 weeks.

He stated that the items posted earlier would take longer to be delievered as those item were at the bottom of the pile.

Lets hope we do recieve our item.

HI


I am also waiting for stuff, thought I'd call the post office to see if the parcel was sat there but like the previous posts the guy told me about the back log. Interestingly though he did say that they were getting extra drivers in to clear the backlog over the next couple of days and would be hopefully getting everything out either tomorrow or Monday. He said if it hasn't turned up by Tuesday give them a call back.

Could be worse.... the passport office ignored me paying for secure delivery and bunged my marrige certificate in the regular post - 3 wks ago.


Got new passport begining of Sept but think my certificate's lost forever - suppose I should cross my fingers my identity (or that of my husband's) isn't stolen :(


On the plus side, the manager at the LL Post Office couldn't have been more helpful when trying to sort this out yesterday.

    • 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.
