Jennys Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 This morning I was coming down the stairs when I saw a Royal Mail card come partly through the letterbox. Nobody had rung the bell, which was working. The card announced a special delivery parcel for a person unknown to me but with our address. As nobody of that name has lived here for at least 33 years, if ever, I do not understand how this has happened. If anyone knows K Doragh, (or I C Doragh) we have a card about their parcel, which is apparently at the delivery office in Highshore Road. Why did Royal Mail make no attempt to deliver the parcel, when I could have told them nobody of that name lived at our address? Or is this some kind of scam?

LKR Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 This happened to me this morning. It was for us but it is so annoying. Why don't they ring the bell?

hellosailor Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I?ve been told that when this happens it?s because they don?t actually have it with them. They haven?t attempted to deliver it, they only ever had the red slip with them. A postal worker at Peckham sorting office told me that this is because they use ?a lot of agency staff and they can?t be trusted to take parcels as unfortunately there?s a lot of theft.?Not ideal..

Galileo Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 If that?s what they?re doing then it?s terrible! I?ve often wondered why they don?t try to deliver them, it happens a lot to us. I call and complain to Royal Mail and say that I?m in and they tend to send the driver back within a few hours.

Lynne Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I have grumbled about deliveries, but yesterday I posted a parcel at about 5.15 in LL and it was delivered in Surrey this morning by the first post.You can't get much better, on this occasion at least.

Jacqui5254 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I've had two red cards yesterday to say that I wasn't in when, in fact, I was only feet away from my front door. No way did anyone try to deliver 2 parcels I have paid postage for. And whilst we are at it....this means I have to DRIVE to Peckham to collect my parcels whilst this forum is debating the problems of too many car journeys in this area. I wonder how many car journeys this slack system is creating? Time for some formal complaints to Royal Mail.

singalto Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Today I got a message from Amazon to tell me RM tried to deliver my parcel at 8.49 and again (!) at 11. I was home on both occasions and no card has been left! I got the tracking details from Amazon but what is Royal Mail playing at? I have booked a redelivery for Saturday but am not holding my breath...

ianr Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I've just looked at the Amazon parcel pickup locations for SE22 and environ. There are quite a few.I've used the Peckham Argos for Ebay click & collect. I don't know if this available in the Sainsburys Argos counter as well?

singalto Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 According to Amazon, the parcel is at Highshore road. I was home when RM claims to have tried to deliver and nocard was left so I am not convinced the delivery was attempted.
