Again just had a parcel arrive this morning posted first class on 3/9/20. Although it was sent by Royal Mail it appeared to be delivered by another company unless Royal Mail have changed their uniform to black and royal blue. so maybe they are hiring in people to deal with the back log. I?m still missing lots of things! I send anything important by UPS or Hermes at the moment as they seem more reliable than the mail.

Two purchases that I?ve bought from the same seller haven?t arrived to me . The first one was 16/09/2020 and the second 1/10/2020 both tracked and because the first one didn?t arrive the second one requested me to sign for . The seller received the proof I signed but I didn?t nor did I receive the item .

I have asked all my neighbours and no one has taken it in plus the signature I believe has to be done by the postman because of corona virus .

I?ve reported it to the sorting office , the seller can claim but this really worries me as who know what else has gone missing ??

I don?t know what to do ?

After complaining to Royal Mail and letting Helen Hayes MP know a month ago I had a deluge of letters ad parcels. Deliveries became a bit better for a while.


I'm now waiting for two parcels posted end-September...by Wednesday it'll be ten working days and the sender can get their money back. So can I, but from now on i'll make every effort to avoid delivery by Royal Mail...


And the tragedy is that the Royal Mail staff are most like treated better than DHL etc., and it's not their fault...

That's interesting Lowlander .I wonder how it works -


"here lads Mr Lowlander of 123 East Dulwich Residence has complained.

All hands on deck to extract his post ."


Makes no sense .Lots of individual complaints result in the complainer getting their backlog . And ( no criticism of you Lowlander ) while Peckham sorting office looking for the complainers post ,are they diverted from normal work ?

If only that were the case :-)


In reality it was likely the fact that the combined efforts of many people complaining to Royal Mail and Helen Hayes that resulted in a temporary improvement.

We have had two postal deliveries in the last fortnight. It seems that when our regular person is off they are simply not covered. I'm expecting several parcels which are now 2 weeks since posting - it really is absolutely infuriating. I have no faith whatsoever in getting anything on time but hopefully they'll turn up eventually. It does seem that if it arrives at the right moment it might come quicker than things which have got stuck in a huge backlog. Very fed up!

9pm.


I heard a strange clatter.


Two supposed posties whizzed down my street, one each side.


The one on my side managed to force a magazine through my letterbox, but sadly had to give up with a cardboard packet clearly marked "Do not bend", which along with some other post he bent in half, tried to get it through, couldn't, so just left it all stuck in the letterbox.


On opening the door to pull it through from the outside, I found another letter dropped on the doorstep.


On looking through the post which had been stuck in the letterbox, I found a letter for somebody several doors down.


Dear oh dear. Have they taken on the Christmas casuals already?

    • Wow, well served with local supermarkets then…  Agree with ATM.. good c position to been mugged or cloned card - prob why not been considered before. Wasn’t there one outside post office and still  is2where people were abit nervous of using? Hope I am wrong but won’t see me rushing to use it…sure lots of folk will benefit thou. Not a great fan or user of Iceland but when it closed years ago people complained..  Guess they only b look at bigger sites - can’t recall an express one but a pity to those who frequent the store. Strange that Tesco can use it as local but Iceland can’t - guess it is  power of large supermarkets. Personally would have  loved an Aldi or Lidl but  clearly site to small. Only grocery stores left to come are Waitrose, Aldi, Lidl… 
    • I'm paying £31 pcm for full fibre 300, whatever that is. I'm not sure it's a particularly good deal now, but I did a comparison at the time I went onto it, and it was then. I don't have a landline any more, and my mobile is with iD, who piggyback off 3. I don't usually have any problems,  except once a few years back when the whole 3  network (?) went  down for quite a long time.
    • I have Plusnet too.   I recently (August) had some problems with WiFi connection on different days but and the turning off and turning on didn’t work.  The WiFi didn’t work for quite a few hours - overnight in one case but eventually rectified itself.   Would be interested to know how much other people pay for Plusnet. I also have a landline with them as the mobile signal is bad inside house.  That is with EE and I want to change from them to another provider.
    • That's terrible 🤬 Was it the same company both times?
