I don?t usually write on here but I cannot believe the service I received this week. I received a parcel whilst I was out on Monday and arranged redelivery to east dulwich post office. Received confirmation email it would be there by Wednesday. Queued for 30 mins (pain was it was, even worse with newborn in tow!) only to be told it wasn?t there.

Queued for 30 mins again Thursday morning - only to be told, again, it wasn?t there.

Decided to give it one more shot on Thursday at 4pm, luckily the staff took pity on me and looked for my parcel. Again, it wasn?t there. They advice me to go to the sorting office in Peckham...


My parcel was in Peckham, they said they are really sorry but east dulwich post office is refusing to take parcels (even with emails on the contrary). They had asked the post office staff to put up signs to prevent people queuing like I have but it looks like this was ignored by east dulwich staff.


My advice - just get on the bus to Peckham, saves 2 days of hassle at Christmas time to get your post redirected!

I have also had things delivered to the ED PO and they also have insisted they didn't have it. Only when I have really insisted back did they check to discover my parcel was indeed there.

Personally I'd have things delivered to Co-op or various local newsagents wherever possible and bypass RM entirely. Newsagents are open way later, the queues are way shorter and they're located much closer. An altogether more pleasant process. The same is true with outbound parcels: you can get fully tracked UPS, DHL and other international brand courier services at local newsagents for half the price of RM.

This happened to me and I asked a postman why it had happened. He said that if the postman on your round that day is new or a stand-in (ie not a regular guy) they don't give him a parcel (in case he nicks it) but just tell him to deliver the card.

I'm with IlonaM myself. They are paid to deliver it. I expect them to deliver it to my home.

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      Which has, unfortunately, closed. Au Ciel is much better than Gail's. Big bakery in the parade of shops near Rocca in Dulwich Village with all the seats outside - you can't miss it. Normally a big queue outside at weekends with walkers and cyclists topping up on carbs and coffee!

      Attempted car theft - Underhill

      By muffins78 · Posted

      Hi, just to say there was an attempted car theft at the FH end of Underhill over Friday night. Without wanting to go into all the detail, they were pretty adamant and took a great deal of time to (try) take the car. The police came within minutes, and drove around etc.. The police said the car was in demand at the moment. I don’t know if that was brand or model. notwithstanding what the police said, all car owners should be vigilant and neighbours. These thieves were interrupted twice by neighbours, but the thieves came back etc and the neighbours didn’t put 2+2 together as to what was happening to the car. The thieves were two guys, on the cctv it looked like they were wearing grey, but it may have been black (cctv can look odd at night). My neighbours said they were black. They had a bag with them, no doubt carrying tools and they may have been dropped off by a car, that is being investigated.  Take care!!
