Wrong Post - as in mail


Guest steve

Recommended Posts

Has anyone else noticed a real downturn in the accuracy of mail deliveries in ED over the last few days? On Saturday 3 out of 5 letter i received were not for my address. Not just the wrong number of 2 were for different streets. My wife complained yesteday morning at the sorting office and was given a gruff "well we'll see what we can do but we cant promise anything". Yesterday we got 2 more - again for different addresses. This is really worrying because if i am getting someone else's mail who getting mine. My wife logged a complaint on an official post office complaints number. We did this about 8 months ago when we had the same problem and it seemed to make a difference then. If its happened to you please follow up so we can get it sorted.

Yes, I think it's the-half arsed temporary Christmas student staff they get in around this time.


On a seperate note, putting a sticker on the letterbox saying "No Junk Mail please" has done wonders for my quality of life, haven't seen a takeaway pizza leaflet for ages and the recycled paper bag takes twice as long to fill up. Recommended

Mark, I've thought about doing the "no junk mail" sign for ages but to be honest never thought delivery guys in this country would even acknowledge it! Good news that it works.


A few years back a guy in Australia once put a notice on his letter box (in fine print) basically saying that any sender delivering unsolicited mail to his house would be charged a "reading fee" of $20. He would then send out a $20 invoice to every company that ignored his warning and continued to deliver. The astonishing thing is that about 50% of them actually paid up. He made hundreds from it. Amongst the payees was Prime Minister John Howards office, as they put some political message through his mailbox! What a hoot.

Anyone who has complaint about the Mail services in East Dulwich is welcome to write to me as we are going to the High authority to make an official complaint... it all started few months ago with a major incident... and it is all gone worse since..... I'll be happy to hear your view "in private" and will share mine and suggest some steps you can take to complain....

    • 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.
