well I suggest you make a grown up attempt with a 2nd email

Too late. That is my ninth email. Did polite. And grown up. Moved on now to plain angry.

However, I'm hardly surprised to hear that if you are not 'grown up' enough Royal Mail policy is to ignore you. Nice.

No - I think you'll find that they got THEMSELVES locked up for six months by taking a big (very big) knife out on to the street.

Yes, that's right. They locked themselves up. People like you...I just wish I could lock you up for even one day just so you can see what it's like. You strike me as the kind of person who says that 'terrorists' should be killed, and then happily leaves it to 'government' to decide what makes a 'terrorist'. Hint: a terrorist = whosoever the government finds inconvenient.

Yes, I do know the reason - but that is besides the point. Personally, I don't care what the circumstances are - I reported what I saw - it was up to the police to deal with the investigation and for the CPS to press charges.

(a) If you have an incident with X witnesses you will get X decriptions of said incident. (b) Ignoring the specific event you describe, which I obviously know nothing of, your 'I don't care what the circumstances are' attitude is half the problem with this country. Right along with allowing the police free rein to do whatever they please. That's exactly why we now live in a police state.

My reply was based on your letter in your first post, so I admit I do not know what conversation you had on the phone (Hence the question mark and the "Perhaps")

If you were polite and factual, then yes, I agree that the person on the other end of the phone was wrong to laugh and redelivery should have been arranged. However, I think your letter is long winded and full of emotion rather than simple plain fact.

Well, I thank you, at last. I won't repeat all that I wrote already, but that is my ninth email - my first was polite and to the point, my second ..., and so on.

Exactly.

They are hardly going to respond well to you stamping your feet and rolling around on the floor.

See (at least) two other replies in here: (a) that was my ninth email. (b) it should not matter how I complain. At least, not to a decent company. Otherwise, anyone that is bad at writing (which I may well be) is ignored? Is that your policy?

Custardy worked for the Royal Mail....not the Post Office...totally different entities as most people know.

Well, nothing more to see here I guess.

At least I found out I was right. There is no way to complain to Royal Mail online. Otherwise, I presume, that poster from earlier, the one who had two goes at it, would have found it. I know I couldn't.

Oh. The stating something you know and assuming others also know it, laced with the additional comment to make anyone that doesn't know it feel like a fool approach.

I, for one, did not know this until recently. And I'm not ashamed to say so. Regardless, it makes no difference. Royal Mail were contracted to deliver my parcel. They decided to leave it at a post office, which are essentially little kingdoms run by people who won't do a thing unless paid to do it. It makes no difference. Take your pick. Are Royal Mail wrong for not delivering as paid to do. Or are they wrong for not redelivering. Or are they wrong for giving my property to someone who won't redeliver it. Or is the whole thing wrong because some unknown entity won't redeliver it.

Using your 'as most people know' attitude, most people expect a letter to get to B when they post it from A. Not C. Not A. B. Sorry if that upsets you.

A couple of questions if I may

1) were you in to accept delivery of said parcel? If not, what do you expect them to do, sit on your doorstep and wait for you?

2) have you actually been down to the 'post office' to collect your parcel? It sure would have saved some time and some ranting if you had done.

All I'm going to say is be careful what you wish for..

MisterBrico

I'm going to write you off as crazy, sending 9 emails all moaning and ranting is no way to get a decent response.

They attempted to deliver you the parcel as contracted, usually when I get a card I just go pick it up, I only payed for one set of postage?

Also claiming phoodles is in any way bad/wrong for giving a testimony in a court about some guy wielding a big knife in the streets is bad and sympathising with the guy who had the knife, would it still have been good had he hurt someone or gone on to hurt someone. Plus it was a jury of the offenders peers who sent him down not phoodles...

Tbh you sound like someone who isn't very nice and is slightly detached from reality
