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 library closing for refurbishment

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡

      I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.

      This has given me ideas for the ginger wine I love, that no one else likes!
