I am in Goodrich and I have had problems too;


*mail not reaching me;

*other people's mail delivered to me (not even the same road);

*parcels being left on the doorstep in full view of passers by;

*postman not even knocking when he has a parcel, just leaving it on the door step or taking it back to the office;

* days of no mail then suddenly lots ( could be coincidental)

*opened mail.


I don't feel confident in either the reliability or security of the service!

We are having some of the same experiences as ClareC. We frequently receive 'package couldn't fit through your letterbox' cards at 8am in the morning when we have not yet left for work and no one had rung the doorbell. We have reported it to the Sylvester Road Office but who knows if they did anything with the information. We also go for several days with no mail and get letters through that have been opened - does seem a bit worrying.
lucyjessica, I don't know if the policy is the same in SE22, but in SE1 the sorting office confirmed a while back that packages are not initialy sent out for delivery, but the "you were out" cards are filled in advance and posted through regardless. It's to save time and failed attempted deliveries as well as limit the amounts that postmen/women have to carry.

This happens a LOT and really gets my back up. The number of times I have to pop over to Sylvester Road on Saturday morning, but because they either can't be bothered to ring my door bell or bring along the parcel. The ED sorting office really needs a shake-up. The postal service here has be dreadful ever since I moved to ED.

know probably shouldn't complain, but had packaged delivered and the postie must have loved our doorbell/letterbox - after not appearing 1/2 sec after he first rang the bell he kept going at them both until I appeared at the most 10 secs later (was coming down from 1st floor and slowed by cold!) glad don't have a dog or kids as they'd have been going mad at the noise!

This number is wrong peeps, poor chap who answered was very nice but had obviously had a few calls....

I also phoned that number and got the poor guy who has recived loads of calls because of this post. PLEASE can Acedout and Jaws edit their posts to remove the number? I know Jaws that you said it was wrong in the post but the number is still there!

Indeed. The correct number of the ED sorting office is (020) 8299 9471 (as obtained from this forum in July http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,145281,151760#msg-151760)

I recently ordered stuff on the internet for the first (and last) time since living in my new flat in Crystal Palace Road. They were kindly delivered to me by a woman who lives in my block!! The parcels had been left for anyone to grab on our post boxes in the main corridor!!! Apparently someone ordered an Xbox with games which was also left just there for anyone to help themselves too. I think it's outrageous and will now be doing my xmas shopping with a toddler in tow on weekends around London....not good!

Are you sure they were delivered by Royal Mail? I've had problems like this in the past but it was a different company who "delivered" the parcels (to my wall - and once to my bin :)) ) not Royal Mail.

This is becoming a joke!


I've had about 5 dvds from Odeondirect (aka Lovefilm) not delivered in 2 months now!


I suspect that someone in the sorting office is nicking them! - its obvious what they are as they have odeon direct dvd splashed all over the packaging


Is anyone else experienceing the same with specifically Lovefilm/odeondirect dvds?

Nothing wrong with "suspecting"! - I am not accusing!


But if enough people are experincing the same with their rental DVD deliveries then we can establish a pattern and try to get the sorting office to investigate.


Everything was working like clockwork on these dvd deliveries (for over 6months)up until 2 months ago!

    • The regulator has approved 2nd class deliveries on alternate days, excluding Saturdays. So Monday, Wednesday and Friday on week 1. Tuesday and Thursday on week 2. Don't know when it starts but in theory it will be better than the current haphazard service. Earlier this week I received bills and other items which had been in the post for 2 weeks. Definitely not the fault of the posties.
    • has lost a Bengal cat there was one wandering around Townley Road this morning - I'm assuming it is not the norm for this fellow to be out and about solo but I'm not a cat expert... IMG_5815.heic IMG_5819 2.heic
    • Hi everyone, I'm Gen, a catsitter based in Sydenham - if you're away this summer and need some care for your pets, please do consider me!  I can typically cover Sydenham, Forest Hill, Penge, Anerley, Crystal Palace, East Dulwich and parts of Peckham. If it's outside those areas, it still might be worth messaging me to see if I can help. I'm registered with Cat in a Flat, with flawless reviews – I'm happy to accept clients through there, or just directly (you can just DM me on the forum here) - whichever you're more comfortable with. I've been catsitting for a few years, and also used to volunteer for Celia Hammond. Here's my profile https://catinaflat.co.uk/pet-sitter/377081 Ping me a message if you need help or have any questions!
    • And we humans bear a lot of responsibility for creating the conditions that brought foxes into urban settings. I certainly don't regard them as pests - they are noisy little criminals, but I'm very fond of them (we have huge numbers of them in my area - I rescued a lost baby fox earlier this year). However, there are pest control companies that use humane methods to deter them and redirect them to different territories (a friend of mine works for one, but sadly for OP, I don't think this is in their catchment area).
