Last week 10/12/15 I found my Mail sticking out of my letter box.. easily retrievable by any opportunist passer-by.


I went to the Sorting Office on Silvester Rd. and they told me to report it on 03457 740 740.

I did this and got a Ref. No and a reassurance it would be reported back to the Silvester Rd. Office for someone

to have a word with the postie on duty that day. I emphasised I did not want to get anyone into trouble as they

may be a temporary postie being Xmas time. I was told that no one was going to get into trouble..


I was told the matter would be resolved in 72 hours.


Today the same thing happened.. My mail once again hanging out of my letter box...

I have re-reported this and now the matter will be taken more seriously and I will this time receive

confirmation of the outcome of these incidents.


2-3 months ago my I.D. was compromised possible by having my Mail intercepted...


There was a thread recently about people experiencing lost/missing mail..


If you have had any problems. Please call 03457 740 740 and report it..

I have been having the same problem for months with the addition of cards mixed with letters

being folded in half and sticking out of the letter box. I waited for the postman when birthday cards

were ruined and he replied "what do expect me to do, put them through one at a time"

I have complained to our sorting office in

Peckham when I received a card folded in half which was no bigger than a post card. We now have a

different postman and it is much better, which proves it can be done.

If you haven't done so already Foxy, speak to your neighbours (and not just those next door). Deliverers of post/leaflets etc. are often under a lot of pressure to get through their rounds. Where I live, we automatically push exposed stuff through each others' letter boxes. Ditto putting back wheely bins or taking in directories/parcels left on doorsteps. One of my neighbours once trimmed my lawn whilst I was on holiday!

It's a large letter box which easily accommodates an A4 envelope without bending..


Pizza leaflet distributers have no problems with their flimsy leaflets..


There should be no problems with standard envelopes..

It's probably Xmas temporaries who have not received adequate training or just don't care..


Foxy..

I'm not talking about size. I'm suggesting you might be able to get stuff that's being held in the flap to actually fall through into your house...if the flap is less grabby because the spring is not so tight. Royal Mail isn't going to stop using temps any time soon.
Speaking of having ID compromised, I get a fair amount of addressed mail which I know is junk (well junk to me). I usually open it, tear off my name and address and put in in the recycling. This is a pain. Is it really necessary, as I'm sure my name and address could be found in public records if someone could be bothered?

I do the same, and I wonder the same ......

I received a letter of apology from Royal Mail this afternoon concerning my mail not being pushed through my letterbox porperly.


They enclosed a book of 6 First Class Stamps as a gesture of their goodwill which was appreciated.

    • That a shocking story.  Spurs?  You appear to be lost.  Haringey is very much the other side of the river.  
    • Every year they ask for more and every year it is an exhausting process pushing back on that for local residents and councillors. What annoys me is that at the post event consultation/ feedback this year, I specifically asked them if the rumours around applying for two weekends next year were true. They told me no. So that was a lie. Anyway, we go again. 
    • Double In New or great condition  Or super comfortable air bed Any1 pls
    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
