    if you google royal mail then the area of the delivery office you can normally get a direct number which you can then talk to the delivery office manager,
    this works most of the time. they dont like you calling the office but you get a better response

    I'll try that after the bank holiday. Thanks for the tip. :)

    I have had orders from amazon and both tesco entertainment go missing....i have had tesco replace the dvd twice only for me to ring up on wednesday wanting a refund. amazon have dispatched another dvd....wonder if that will turn up. I have phoned the royal mail customer help line and have reported it but not sure what happens now

    That's interesting - maybe the problem is wider than I thought. Will post an update when I learn more.

    I had this problem. I went directly to the manager at the local sorting office.

    He was very interested and took full details. Nothing further was said to me, but shortly afterwards several counter staff left suddenly and the problem stopped.

    Great news sweetstudent - my Tesco DVD turned up today as well which is great. Just delayed I guess. :) No sign of the replacement CD from Amazon though :( Still I have a refund so that's OK.
  • I've seen an undercover show on Channel4 (I think) that showed some horrendous things that some postal workers were getting up to. Stealing parcels or just dumping post in bins were two things that spring to mind.
