Has anyone else noticed a real downturn in the accuracy of mail deliveries in ED over the last few days? On Saturday 3 out of 5 letter i received were not for my address. Not just the wrong number of 2 were for different streets. My wife complained yesteday morning at the sorting office and was given a gruff "well we'll see what we can do but we cant promise anything". Yesterday we got 2 more - again for different addresses. This is really worrying because if i am getting someone else's mail who getting mine. My wife logged a complaint on an official post office complaints number. We did this about 8 months ago when we had the same problem and it seemed to make a difference then. If its happened to you please follow up so we can get it sorted.

Yes, I think it's the-half arsed temporary Christmas student staff they get in around this time.


On a seperate note, putting a sticker on the letterbox saying "No Junk Mail please" has done wonders for my quality of life, haven't seen a takeaway pizza leaflet for ages and the recycled paper bag takes twice as long to fill up. Recommended

Mark, I've thought about doing the "no junk mail" sign for ages but to be honest never thought delivery guys in this country would even acknowledge it! Good news that it works.


A few years back a guy in Australia once put a notice on his letter box (in fine print) basically saying that any sender delivering unsolicited mail to his house would be charged a "reading fee" of $20. He would then send out a $20 invoice to every company that ignored his warning and continued to deliver. The astonishing thing is that about 50% of them actually paid up. He made hundreds from it. Amongst the payees was Prime Minister John Howards office, as they put some political message through his mailbox! What a hoot.

Anyone who has complaint about the Mail services in East Dulwich is welcome to write to me as we are going to the High authority to make an official complaint... it all started few months ago with a major incident... and it is all gone worse since..... I'll be happy to hear your view "in private" and will share mine and suggest some steps you can take to complain....

    • I didn't say anything was "a fact". I said it was "hardly likely" 🙄 Do you seriously think someone would go out of their way to harm or kill an unusual animal? Even assuming they ever actually saw it? And then you deleted your post. Did you not want people to see what you had said?
    • If people were diligent about not leaving food items out where it is accessible, then we wouldn't have as big a fox problem. Foxes raid trash bins for food and leave rubbish strewn on the pavement.  Other European cities have strict rules on disposal of edibles and they dont have a fox problem
