    Most of the packages remain unsorted and are just building up in a mountain (so I am told) and anyway, even if this werre not the case I don't have use of a car during the day and the delivery office is a 26 mile round trip, I am just astounded that this can go on for so long and no-one wants to know, or to do anything about it. Customer services just refer it back to the delivery office who do nothing.

    Even allowing for the fact that restructuring isn't the fault of the postman, he could at least vary the deliveries so that each road gets something surely? instead of always leaving our road until last and then delivering nothing because he has run out of time..... and ramming post through the letter box leaving it damaged is totally wrong - or perhaps he wouldn't mind a large photograph being bent in two being delivered to himself?

    'he' doesnt get that choice.its a managers choice what happens as the wheels fall off

    OMG - I have just had my daily "chat" with our delivery office and they tell me all packages have now been sorted and are waiting to go out - but there are NONE for me. Now how can 8 Amazon packages, plus another 7 packages (yes, even more are AWOL now) just disappear into thin air? How am I supposed to convince the suppliers that nothing they have sent to me has got through?

    About 3 years ago I spent TWO years complaining about missing post, no one wanted to know, nothing was done until the dustbin men found a bag of abandoned mail because a local postman had been stealing it and as he wanted to move house and his home was stuffed to the rafters with undelivered mail he had started trying to dispose of it....but did Royal Mail want to investigate all the missing mail until the bag was found - not on your life, and it looks as if they still don't give a sh*t now.

    you may find that there are more cages of packets to come
    a delivery office has finite space.
    so theres little point constantly sending stuff to a DO in crisis
    so they could have another load to come from the mail centre
  • I complained to royal mail aswell as my post has been opened, got the standard letters etc but still comes opened. I posted a letter to myself, it is yet to come! It was over a week ago!
