Penguin68 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Received a weekly today dated 5th November (!), but they do seem to be getting to the bottom of the pile. And that's deliveries two days running!

Kathleen Olander Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Just received my Spectator magazine dated 1st October. So relevant, Liz Truss is still Prime Minister!

Penguin68 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 On a positive note, although all my subscription magazines have been delivered late, and some very late, I believe I have now received all outstanding issues. The next ones are due on Friday. If they do arrive then it may be that, at least for my deliveries, we have got, or are getting, back to what should be normal.I'm not holding my breathe on that, and I do know there is other mail outstanding. But not, I think a lot. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/314933-post-not-being-delivered-by-royal-mail/page/8/#findComment-1603167 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castleton Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 I would recommend anyone suffering to raise a complaint and get a reference number! It can't be a coincidence that post has once again been delivered after near 4 weeks with nothing, not even fliers!

another annie Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Delighted to get 2 items of post this week. However when I phoned the sender of one item in Scotland to thank her she said she had posted it a couple of months ago! A catalogue for my partner had special offer prices if he ordered by 10th November... The only 'good' thing that I can see coming out of this is no way am I risking ordering any Christmas gifts on the web this year, all my purchases will be made from our many lovely local traders.

Penguin68 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 no way am I risking ordering any Christmas gifts on the web this year, all my purchases will be made from our many lovely local traders.If you are having stuff delivered to third parties outside SE22 this shouldn't be an issue - and for many companies you can now arrange local pick-up - where 3rd party (non Royal Mail) carriers are concerned. If you have a 'local' friend who is local but not in SE22 you could arrange delivery to them (with their agreement) as the real problems seem to lie with the SE22 Delivery Office (now in Peckham).Which is not to argue against using local traders, of course, but for some products they may not be able to offer as wide a range locally. The footprints of most local stores are limited, which means the range of stocking may also be - so they may not have (to quote the Beattie ad of many years ago) 'all the sizes in all the colours'.

Bic Basher Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 If you buy from eBay, there are numerous drop-off points you can select instead of using the Royal Mail. I use Sainsbury's in Forest Hill to collect eBay packages from while the post is still a mess.

another annie Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Thank you, that's really helpful! Now you mention it I think I've done that in the past but had forgotten it was an option. So it'll be a mixture of online and local shopping for me as usual.

tedfudge Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I recieved a letter from a debt collection company yesterday on behalf of euro car parks for parking in tessa jowel clinic even though I had an appointment the offence was committed on the 7th September but did not recieve a pcn from them , the first I heard of this was when I got this letter from the debt company asking for £155 , I've sent an email to euro car parks about this and iam waiting for a reply .. I refuse point t blank to pay this fine as I had no letter from them apparently they sent 2 or 3 to me. I will let them take me to court Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/314933-post-not-being-delivered-by-royal-mail/page/8/#findComment-1604032 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin68 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I will let them take me to courtI would write to Helen Hayes about this - she can supply a letter to the Court (if she agrees!) supporting your contention that the postal service has been locally so bad that non-delivery of such letters in a timely fashion is now the rule rather than the exception. It is better to clear this up, however, before it comes to Court proceedings - so getting a letter of support from your MP (Ms Hayes) to use with the debt collectors/ the firm managing Tessa Jowell parking before any case goes to court will be a far less expensive route.Do also remember that, appointment or no, you are required to book-in your number plate at Tessa Jowell when parking to avoid proceedings. If you didn't do that, the best you may hope for is that the postal delays mean that you can pay the minimum fine rather than one exacerbated by postal delays!
