For the past month there has been a notice posted on the entrance doors re closure dates. Quite clear to see and read.

Saw it today. Stating they were closing for 3-4 days was misleading, they are closing at 10pm rather than 11pm for a few days. Rather insignificant for many.

They are closed for 4 days from 1st December for refurbishment (or is it 3 days) I must admit I have converted to the SMART shop and scan items as I go along. This allows me to pack as I go along which saves time. You do not need a SMART phone - just scan your nectar card. in Lidl and Aldi - I go to the assistant aisles as not overkeen on self scan unless you only have a few items.

Is there a notice up anywhere re the closure dates?

Mirash and memsab both nice. Prefer dining in.

Not used for a bit, but found Rajah Rowing- up near the Plough on LL (takeaway only) to be good

Mirash is my go to for takeaway these days. Memsaab have increased their prices quite a bit from when I last used them - understandable I guess in the current environment. Not sure how Mirash have kept their's so low given cost increases, there's quite a price differential between the two now.

Gail's is opening on Zenoria Street, right around the corner from the Nordic bakery.

 

It's only taken them 3 years! Granted the pandemic must have caused some delays.

On a positive note, although all my subscription magazines have been delivered late, and some very late, I believe I have now received all outstanding issues. The next ones are due on Friday. If they do arrive then it may be that, at least for my deliveries, we have got, or are getting, back to what should be normal.

I'm not holding my breathe on that, and I do know there is other mail outstanding. But not, I think a lot.

 

No mail on Thursday and Friday as they will be striking.

I did get a response from the CEO's office. It had gone into my spam folder.

Here it is:

Dear

Thank you for your email to the CEO Office. As part of Royal Mail’s senior team, I have been asked to respond to you.

The Customer Operations Manager for your area has asked me to pass on their sincerest apologies. Regrettably, due to the ongoing industrial action, the Delivery Office working hard to deal with a backlog of mail which must be cleared. In order to most efficiently minimise the impact on our customers, rounds are looped to ensure that no particular walk is without a delivery of mail for too long a period of time.

I realise that this an unfortunate situation, and I am very sorry for any impact which this may have on you. Please be assured that we are doing all we can to continue providing the best possible service to our customers during the current negotiations with the CWU.

Regarding your comments of there having been issues previous to the industrial action, I can see we in the CEO Office were contacted at the end of last year into the beginning of this year, but nothing over the last 8 months. Customers may have contacted us via the usual Customer Service channels within this time but I won’t be able to locate those unless the customer comes directly to us. So I can only apologise for any inconvenience this has caused you and others in the area.

If the issues do continue after all the industrial action has finished, please do not hesitate to contact us again and we will make further enquiries.

I hope this helps to address your concerns, and thank you once again.

Kind regards,

Rebecca Redmond

Royal Mail – Chairman and Chief Executive Office

So basically, it seems that if we want this situation to be taken seriously, instead of going through the "usual Customer Service channels", we need to inundate the Chairman and Chief Executive Office with complaints every time items are lost or delayed.

That might help concentrate their minds ......

Also, surely the industrial action has finished, hasn't it???

 

I suspect many of us on here have received that exact same cut and paste response. Farcical that they are still blaming the CWU strike.

Email from the Royal Mail today.

 

We're sorry to advise that parts of the SE22 postcode area may experience disruption to deliveries due to resourcing issues at the East Dulwich Delivery Office.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, and thank you for your understanding.

We'll be back in touch to inform you when the resourcing issues have improved.

 

Unlikely to ever hear from them again so.

i just don't understand how absolutely nothing appears to be happening to sort this mess out. As many have observed, this is not just a recent occurrence and using the CWU strike is a disingenuous excuse. They must be inundated with complaints but yet nothing changes. Clearly demonstrates that from top to bottom incompetence and lack of accountability is rife.

Anyone know when the service will be available in the SE22 area?

Was thinking the exact same the last day I was in there. The amount of empty or near empty shelves was shocking, and this has been going on for quite some time now. Not sure if it's a staffing issue or what. As I've noticed similar issues in Tesco Herne Hill and Brixton at times.

One potential cause could be down to DKH now being used as a hub for online deliveries, rather than a centralised warehouse site. There's always quite a few staff flying around filing multiple online orders. It must be having an affect.

Indeed, the market seems saturated already with the numerous coffee options available now. Although I suspect those two places USP won't be their coffee really.

On a side note, whatever happened to the plans for the premises where Brick used to be. I thought I read on here that they got gazumped by Gails on rent, but its lay empty ever since. What a waste.

Slight off-topic, I haven't been a regular user recently but the service to/from London Bridge seems like it's been reduced . Is this temporary? Noticed that the last train from London Bridge to ED is 10.30. Recall it being a lot later previously.

Not sure if the above is actually correct, my area is listed as low teens but I get about 75 and I'm on openreach.

Indeed. But I'd rather not waste my time if they are unwilling to assist in checking. Judging from niozza's response it seems likely it would be a wasted trip.

If you are expecting a package and know it's been sent can you just go to the sorting office and ask for it?
