Apparently the PO on LL is closed? There is a handwritten sign in the window saying closed owing to technical issues. 

There is no phone number or way to check when or if it will open again?

If anyone from the branch reads this perhaps they could post and update us? It might save people time and effort. It might also be useful to update the website, which says the branch is open.

If this is only very temporary and already open again then I apologise.

Has this affected deliveries by any chance? I've received 4 notifications by email saying it was impossible to deliver as you were out. My preference is very clearly LEAVE OUTSIDE as I'm in a secluded corner and not visible from the street.

The last one today, I was literally sitting outside waiting for them at the allotted time. No one appeared, I just got another email!!

Horizon is a repurposed Fujitsu/ ICL accounting application from a bespoke proprietary package  (and badly designed) - there would be no common application code between it and anything the Royal Mail would use. As reported it does not appear to have been a comms failure.  It will be wholly unrelated to any Royal Mail e-mail notification of non delivery (as described above). The well documented failures of Royal Mail to deliver post in SE22 has nothing to do with the way Post and sub-Post Offices are managed or their specific accountancy systems, nor the frequent lies by delivery agents employed by Royal Mail or other carriers about delivery failures..

    • Apologies on the tardy reply, but thank you everyone for your responses and suggestions! Unfortunately I couldn't attend the recent EDF drinks because of work (I know right). But will absolutely keep eyes peeled for the next one and try and come down! 
    • Because of the weather which delayed completion with roofer only being able to work certain days, it was up from November - end of January. Went slightly higher than gutters (we also had guttering replaced).
    • It's tough being a courier and the pay which is largely based on the number they deliver is miserable. Hence the staff turnover is high. EFRI was previously branded as HERMES but they had to create a new brand name because of poor performance. We get regular courier deliveries and EVRI are by far the worst. They just drop the parcel at the front door - often without ringing the bell. But worst is when they deliver to the equivalent door number on LL instead of ours on EDG. Best are ParcelForce, DHL and DPD by a wide margin.
    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
