Wrong Post - as in mail

[Guest]

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.
