Peckham Sorting Office Opening Times - Changed?

[Zak]

When the East Dulwich sorting office closed and everyone had to start going to the Peckham one, I think the opening hours were extended to around 5.30pm on a daily basis. I've certainly been down there fairly recently at around 5.00pm to pick up a package.

However, on receiving a card to notify us that there was a package waiting to be picked up, I noticed that it's now only open until 3.00pm on four weekdays - with just one extended opening day each week. Very unhelpful for anyone at work.

So, it seems to have reverted to how things were before the improved service was introduced to sugar the closure of the ED sorting office.

Looks like a bit of RM sleight of hand, or am I wrong?

Interesting- there will be more people going to Peckham so if they are closing earlier the queues will be longer. I always book a re-delivery online and it has been 100% so far

Looks like those were already the extended hours - not sure what the unextended ones were.

?The office has extended its opening hours from today, which now means it will open to 3 pm every day, late opening on a Wednesday until 8 pm and until 3pm on a Sunday.

Yeah I noticed that - I can?t understand why they?re doing that unless there?s actually quiet periods at end of day when very few people come to collect parcels (perhaps due to alternative delivery methods becoming increasingly common ie. DPD, Click n Collect, Amazon couriers etc.).

It used to close at 1pm, except Wednesdays, and was always closed on Sundays. In addition to extending opening hours, they have also added an additional serving hatch. My recent experiences have been of a quick and efficient service.

[KidKruger]

Aah, so they?re not shortening the hrs after all, thanks for context.

The hours were longer in the run-up to Christmas, that was a seasonal timetable that I think happens every year.I wonder Zak if it was then when you went to the sorting office?
