If I found a parcel lying in my front garden,you'd see it on the news!!!

My local postie (well, my parent's local postie, I've moved to the land land of temps and high staff turnover) is excellent. Been on the round for 20 years now, only knows the people in my area as their postman, yet knows everyone, has time for a chat (while still maintaining sensible delivery times!) and even asks my folks how I'm getting on.

My postie opened my front door, took a step in, placed the parcel on my stairs and shouted up "Post!" and then left, the other day.

I was a bit stunned. Good or bad service, you decide!

I wouldn't mind that to be honest. id just be happy to have my parcel.

Or did you leave it open?

Either way, looks like an invitation to me....

The door was unlocked but not open. Pretty sure it's still unlawful entry if the door has to be opened. Not that arsed though ... had brief chat with him a couple of times so he prob assumed he was "ok" to do it.

Um... he just matches the letters in the address to the letters on the street sign? You don't need to speak the local lingo to find your way around.

Incidentally this is what gets me when products are misshelved in DIY stores- you don't need to understand what it is you're shelving, it's juts a question of matching the letters and numbers on the packet to the ones on the shelves.

Be glad your getting parcels, Last week I had to nip out unexpectedly and while I was out I missed a parcel, so I asked for it to be delivered on Friday this was Tuesday so I wait in all day Friday till gone 7pm I thought no one would come after that time no one did, So I re arranged it for Yesterday Monday again waited in all day no one came I had to go into town anyway so popped into the sorting office to collect the parcel instead waited around 20 minutes or so to get served along with a lot of other people eventually the girl came back and asked if I had asked for this to be redelivered I said yes twice and it's never materialised.. to which she said it's out for redelivery luckily my mum was still in so I raced back home so my mum could go out thinking that my parcel would come, I got in and started unloading my car from all the work I picked up my mum rang to say she had just seen the parcel man so he will be on his way round in the next 5 to 10 minutes so I made sure I had the blinds up in our garage so I could see him at the bottom of the driveway......he never came.

So last night I found the email address for the CEO of Royal Mail and sent her a email to which I got a reply back tonight off one of her colleagues saying that they will ring me tomorrow morning. Also I collard the postie this morning while I was working he said he would have a word with his manager and also one of my customers (I run a ironing service) Is a team leader at said sorting office and so I had a word with him tonight too.

We know who is doing this as a few months ago we missed a parcel and asked for it to be redelivered they held it for over a week after we requested it to be redelivered so we had a word with our customer and he obviously had a go at this guy who is now the parcel man. When said parcel was delivered it was in two plastic bags saying sorry your parcel was damaged it was shampoo and other products that we test for Beauty Bible so we made a complaint ever since there has always been some delay with our parcels unless they are through other delivery companies. The postie on foot is brilliant and we always get on great with them our regular postie got changed a few months ago but one day his car wouldn't start so I went and jumped him with a set of leads, we give them cans of pop and ice cream in the summer because it can be quite warm and they are always greatful and stop for a chat with us so we know we aren't the problem.

So hopefully the CEO will sort this out tomorrow for me. I will report back.

If you would like to make a complaint about your postie leaving your parcels in your garden I can provide you with the email address I used.
