Hello,


Was wondering if any of you guys have ever found that there is post waiting for you at the sorting office but that no card has been left? Having a bit of a dispute with an online company who reckon that may be the case, but slack as Royal Mail can be at times, I've never had that situation! I know there are some threads about phone numbers for Silvester Road but due to the technical ineptitude I can't find it? Could anyone help me out?


Cheers guys.

Here you go...


Sorting office phone number


Generally Royal Mail seem pretty good at leaving cards, but I have had a situation where a card was not left, and also one where a blank card was left (both outside East Dulwich). I think if you contact the office and have the correct ID they will let you pick up any packages without a card if you explain the situation.

I went to Silvester Road on Thursday morning for this very reason, but there was no post there. Two things I had been expecting then arrived Friday and Saturday. Both had been somewhere in the system for almost 2 weeks (First class UK). I'm guessing there must be a sizeable backlog.

Recently I bought an item from ebay which never arrived, I'd given up hope after about 10 days,

but the seller suggested that I check with the post office just in case they had it. I went along

to Silvester Road, thinking it was a complete waste of time and there it was! There had been no card

left with us, so I guess from time to time this kind of thing does happen, definitely go and check.

You should all complain, there's no excuse for it, it only takes the postie a minute to write a card and it's causing massive inconvenience.


I've had the opposite - card left, I trek round to the sorting office, and it turns out to be a Viking catalogue :))


I must have a very conscientious postie!

Well here's a new take on things ....


Just got back from work. I have a very small letterbox.


Found on the mat an empty jiffy bag (posted First Class, definitely Royal Mail) and six separate ink cartridges strewn about.


Evidently the postie couldn't get the parcel through the letter box in one go, so used his/her initiative.


Not sure whether to be glad or annoyed ....

our postie always leaves our parcels on the doorstep even though we have asked him not to. and we went away a few weeks ago and expected a parcel to be sat there. it wasnt, i spotted it a week later in the bushes soggy and knackerd from the rain. guess a fox or animal played with it and took it off doorstep. would rather have to go and collect it than this happen.

I've had a couple of issues with posties 'using their initiative' and leaving a couple of packages from Amazon on top of my recycling bin. The first I managed to save, but I was away on holiday for the second... I guess the books are currently being recycled!

hi,


the strike might be a reason. We had a same problem and when went to check out the collection office the guy told us that they were going to be delivering on Sunday due to the strike that week.

No cards were left and they had a 14 day backlog. Hope this helps

I went in today for a parcel that hadn't arrived (posted on 9th September). No sign of it, and the delivery office man said they are currently delivering parcels which were posted on 20th September, so the backlog seems to be down to 8 days.


Don't know what's happened to my parcel though. Time to go back to the supplier

      Latest One Dulwich update

      I am faintly amused by the cries of horror when the overtly political actions of Southwark Council Labour (their car hatred does after all form part of their manifesto) is countered by what might possibly be political action of others (although there is some evidence to support it being a groundswell of purely local and not party-affiliated activity). Who is behind Southwark Labour party one might ask - is it Militant Trotskyites? From where are they being funded? The Kremlin, Beijing?

      Ha ha, some people really don't like an opinion that differs to theirs do they! Bravo One Dulwich - you're magnificently rattling the cages of people who don't want to hear a differing opinion and the fact they get so irate about it is the icing on the cake! Some spend so much emotional energy trying to convince themselves One Dulwich is some shadowy, agitator state-funded lobby group when all they are is a group of local residents giving a voice to the majority of residents impacted by the measures.

      @Earl, Be assured, it is purely a local group. In fact it is a genteel group of Dulwich area residents, mostly ladies , who are a little  reluctant to publish their individual names as they do not wish to be targets for hostility from internet trolls. Local residents who attended the anti-LTN gatherings in Dulwich would have easily recognised the active members of the group. Should you have any queries about funding, it is quite easy to send them an email.

      Hi  I have a spare old wheelbarrow that you could have for free. You’d need to come and collect it from Telegraph Hill, so drop me a message if you’re still looking and we can arrange a time best wishes carrie
