Our postman goes one better.....he throws them over the side gate. Last year I had broken cups and less seriously broken chocolate santas from Thorntons.

Properly lazy Christmas temp. As other have said phone your local sorting office.

I am so angry. We have had a different postman this week.

Wednessay - partner home all day as works at home, went out later in the day and there is a parcel in the snow getting covered in snow. Thought it was strange but maybe an accident. Luckily an item that wouldn't be damaged by the snow.

Today - I'm working from home, saw the postman come, collected the post, even got the CD through the post we ordered. Just popped out and there is another parcel again left outside in the snow on the front lawn. He even saw me in, made no effort to ring the bell. This item would have been damaged by the snow if it was out there much longer or if it started snowing.

I can't believe he just leaves them outside I was about to order some more Christmas present but on the likelyhood they will be damaged or stolen i wont bother.

OK - so on Wednesday a parcel was left in the snow

Today (Friday) you "saw the postman come, collected the post, even got the CD through the post we ordered"

then on the same day you "Just popped out and there is another parcel again left outside in the snow on the front lawn. He even saw me in, made no effort to ring the bell"

So was this a different postman to the one who "collected the post, even got the CD through the post" or was it the same one ? was there a gap in time between the two deliveries or did the postman who gave you the CD leave the other parcel in the snow _party_

Defiantly the foot delivery man, the packets are ones that would fit through the letter box but he didn't bother. No one else has come near the door today, i've been working by the front window so would have seen. Also someone else we know a few street around has said exactly the same, thing.

So the only people to come near your door today were the postman with the CD and the "foot delivery man" it is unusual for two Royal Mail deliveries to me made on the same day as the second delivery was abolished some time ago and you say they were both on foot :think:

One explanation would be that a van delivered mail that was too large for the postman (or perhaps they have extra deliveries during the christmas period)

or the "foot delivery man" wasn't a Royal Mail employee/agent and had a car/van parked out of your sight (do you have a hedge ?):idea:

Any parcels that dare get left outside in the open addressed to me, I would not hesitate to deny receiving them, leaving the sender to chase it up with Royal Mail. Eventually RM would learn that this kind of delivery is completely unacceptable.

Then you will end up on the Synetics Solutions database

Don't know if this will help or not.... mate rec'd a delivery from Thorntons and it was a woman with her own car delivering the chocolates. Does that help narrow it down??

not the "woman with her own car delivering the chocolates" by any chance ? :silenced:

We have already established that Thorntons use a "DHL@Home postie" rather than a "Royal Mail postie" to deliver their chocs :snow_laug

It was DHL@Home. Luckily they managed to leave it at a neighbours as I wasn't in when they tried to deliver, and thorntons are refunding my saturday delivery charge, so I'm now a happy bunny!

DHL who left my first parcel outside for the world to see so it went walkies and the second time they left the parcel on top of the bin so still didn't learn their lesson.
