DulwichFox Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 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..

lpool Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I'd just be grateful for some mail from the sorting office. 12 days and counting.

Dee Dee Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I have been having the same problem for months with the addition of cards mixed with lettersbeing folded in half and sticking out of the letter box. I waited for the postman when birthday cardswere 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 adifferent postman and it is much better, which proves it can be done.

Jeremy Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Mail sticking out of the letterbox is really annoying, and same applies for junk mail/flyers. I'm always concerned it makes it look like nobody is home.

Earl Aelfheah Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Personally I've not had this problem from the postie, but do always get flyers left sticking out. This is doubly annoying because it's just junk and it also makes it obvious when no one is in.

snooks Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Have to say I haven't had any mail for 4 days and I'm near the Grove Tavern in Lordship Lane. Lets hope it arrived on 21st. A few years ago postmen also used to deliver on a sunday - financial I suppose Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/87235-mail-not-pushed-fully-through-letterbox/#findComment-940266 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laddy Muck Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 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!

rabbitears Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Can you adjust the spring on your letterbox so stuff falls through easier?

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..

rabbitears Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 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.

Alan Medic Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 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?

DulwichFox Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 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.
