I finally had post on Wednesday evening(!) which was mailed to me 2 weeks earlier! Massive issues in the local sorting offices I'm told due to volume of mail, social distancing and staff off sick. Regardless the local post has never been the same since they closed the East Dulwich sorting office.

We got a pack of "ordinary" post today (Underhill/Wood Vale/Melford) - first in about 10 days (but we did get a Christmas card/package type delivery last week). In today's batch was a bank card I was advised by my card provider to cancel a week ago (as it had been out for delivery for over three weeks). I took a punt it would arrive eventually and it did.


Helen Hayes was incredibly helpful to me earlier this year when I was trying to get delivery of a key financial document that the bank would only send out by post and it was only after her intervention and being able to point to her letter and tweets on the issue that the bank agreed to send it by another method. For what it's worth, she and her team seem incredibly frustrated that every time they raise this with Royal Mail there is a big reallocation of resources to Peckham Sorting office to clear the backlog, things get better for a week or so, but then rapidly go back to the way they were, so I'm not surprised they've taken the next step of writing to Ofcom.

Postwoman just delivered a packet. One packet.


Postmarked 15 December, ie around a week later than the item I am waiting for. To add insult to injury it was for my partner/bubble, who doesn't even live here most of the time :))


We had a conversation. She said she had just had a similar conversation with someone down the road who was expecting something urgent. She said the sorting office was "under pressure".


After she had gone, I noticed that she had just dumped a large packet for my immediate neighbours (who I know are out) on their doorstep, in full view and within easy reach of passers by.


FFS.


ETA: I took in my neighbours' packet and have let them know, obvs.

We haven;'t had any mail for 10 days - still waiting for birthday cards which were posted early December. We're on Friern Rd and we had a parcel delivered. The postman said there was a huge backlog and post has been piling up. It's very frustrating - my son wanted Casual Christmas Postal work and would be down there like a shot, but no vacancies!!!!

Sunday 20th Dec Postman delivering to Rodwell and Heber Road, I see him on the way out delivering in Rodwell.

On the way back 45 minutes later he was in Heber so it was not parcels

As I was passing I ask him if he was going Pellatt, Wheatley Road his answer was No.

On this he put the post bag in his van and drove away.

If you do Rodwell and Heber roads, would you not do two roads in line with with these. seems bad

Mangerment to me. No POST AGAIN MONDAY TUESDAY
