Not getting post, Goodrich Road

[timtim]

Ok so I'm getting the occasional bit of mail, but know for a fact that several things have turned up. What's going on? Anyone else having problems?

[cookie]

We have things that I know were dispatched over a week ago that have still not arrived. I'm on Fellbrigg. I put it down to the post strikes, but am paranoid that my parcels are crushed beneath a pile of undelivered mail somewhere in a warehouse in the midlands never to be seen again.

I'm on North Cross and last week I got all my post on Friday. This week I haven't had anything so far, so you're not alone timtim.

[Oily Telly Tyke]

Yeah on Goodrich, i get anything in drabs that will fit through letter box now but still waiting for a parcel i ordered in the first week of Sept!

I've all but given up on post. If you can't rely on it, it becomes pratically useless.

[rspcalondonsoutheast]

The post we received today was posted on 12th September according to the franking mark.

[toast]

We are getting post one or two days a week.

[Rozza]

I'm on Hindmans Road and I'm still waiting for a parcel posted in time for my birthday (so before 11th Sept) which has now gone awol.

Other parcels have arrived in the meantime however, posted around the same time, albeit also quite late.

I think you could re-edit this thread to Not getting post, all over London!! I'm not receiving post on a daily basis and when it does arrive it v late. I have a weekly magazine subscription that is currently arriving 8-9 days late!

[C.Churchill]

Just received a parcel which should have arrived beginning of Sept, in Landells Road waiting for first class posted in London last week! What is going on? Strikes?

[bawdy-nan]

yes a strike. Its been going on for a few weeks now and is affecting London especially. Rather alarmingly this report is headlined Post backlog may never arrive

[Annasfield]

I'm still waiting for a parcel that was posted about 3 weeks ago. Very frustrating!

[robotcat]

I'm on Goodrich too and can echo the earlier messages. However, despite working 5 mins from mount pleasant the post there is just the same. My sister posted me a parcel to work on the 10th, got it today - just glad she only sent me jam and not flapjack. We have been waiting for a heap of parcels for the last month and several seem to be suffering from lost card syndrome.

[JahLion]

Same where I live in Tulse Hill, in the last three or four months at least a third of my expected post has just not arrived

[fmay]

Beware ordering anything delivered by Royal Mail at the moment. Since internet shopping in the last month or so I have 3 out of four deliveries declared missing. They seem to be despatched but never get further than our local sorting/post office.....or disappear somewhere in between? I think there's piles of stuff just left to sort and deliver in the East Dulwich area. Don't the post workers now want extra pay to cover the overtime they'd have to do to make up for all the post left undelivered since they went on strike!?! Such a pain. On Hillcourt Road we occasionally get a bit of old post dropped through the door at about lunchtime, a couple of times a weeek.

[JahLion]

Yes, that's what I've noticed has gone missing or taken weeks to arrive, internet purchases. I'm concerned some people in these sorting offices might be pilfering parcels as well. What a shambles. How come Royal Mail is allowed to maintain its monopoly when it's not fit for purpose?

[dukesdenver]

I received a parcel yesterday which was posted on 7th September - so there's still hope!

[JahLion]

It's completely pathetic in 2009 though, isn't it?

[LordshipLaneMum]

The chap who answered my call this morning from the Sylvester Road sorting office said he was sorting parcels/packages for delivery today that are post-dated the 18th September. There is hope.

[SimonM]

Parcel posted on 9th September finally arrived today! :))

[indiepanda]

My sister posted my birthday present to me, and I know it was something she had taken the time to make, so I really hope it hasn't been completely lost. Only posted just over a week ago so I guess there's plenty of time yet.

Waiting on a CD from Amazon that would ordinarily have arrived mid week too. Oh well, guess it gives me a good reason to lay off the internet shopping for a while... though Amazon may struggle without me... (not only do I order books, CDs, DVDs but also homeware and even shoes)

[dogcat]

I'm waiting on quite a few parcels now. Is this industrial action? Is it ongoing? Has it got an end date? Do I need to find an alternative to amazon for my christmas shopping????

[indiepanda]

Well, the parcel my sister sent me came just now, so hopefully they are catching up a bit. No sign of the amazon CD, but that was only posted this week

Heard on the radio that the latest scam is identity theft achieved by re-directing your mail without your knowledge or permission. If you really aren't receiving any mail you should check that it hasn't been redirected.
