This is the sticker:

The sticker measures about 5 inches by 2 inches.

So, a pretty big old sticker then!

I've opted out, not because of nasty neighbours just one side is a house share, so i'd have to knock and ask every single person in the house of 5-6 adults if they recieved my stuff and the otherside are at work full-time. Plus i prefer to get my goodies straight away or collect from office or rearrange delivery. I'd hate to have a dispute with a neighbour if an item was damaged, royal mail and neighbour where denying any part of it. Imagine the upset? and uncomfrotable atmostphere? Rather not risk it. But it does say on the ofcom thing i was reading that royal mail still have liability if it gets damaged till it reaches you. So even if its left with a neighbour its royal mail that will have to sort it. Though i wonder how hard that is going to prove?

(sorry if this has already been mentioned i havent had chance to read all the thread)

Can you opt out of receiving your neighbour's mail? I work nights and am pretty much always asleep when the postie does his rounds, I purposely don't order things to my address that can't be put through the letter box or need signed for and definitely wouldn't want to be woken up accepting other people's mail.

what would that opt out be?
why not just put a note on the door?

Instead of analysing 'opt in opt out' why not ensure that you're either in to receive all you orders, freebies or winning or better still have a large enough letterbox to fit them through or fit a post box on the side of the house. Saves the postie any awkward decisions. Any really oversized packets just fetch from sorting office or rearrange delivery.

You do realise for the above to work you would have HAD to opt out in the first place right?

And as for 'ensure you're in' - if a parcel is sent via RM you don't normally get a guaranteed delivery date, and who has spare holidays they're going to use at work to wait in for one parcel? People are mostly fine with picking them up from the office but this change means they have to now STATE they want that... so your suggestion doesn't actually address that problem.

Is this a fact from somewhere, because everyone I have spoken too hates having to go to the sorting office, mainly (already stated on this thread) due to the opening hours being the same as delivery hours anyway (ie during the week during working hours) so you can't get there anyway!

I think it's nice they are giving people a choice, and through my own research (asking everyone I know) they would prefer being able to leave it with a neighbour then having to go through the agro of re-delivery (which you usually have to pay for) or having to take a day off anyway to go collect

Unless your desperate for the item just fill this form in.

https://www.royalmail.com/eredelivery

http://www.royalmail.com/delivery/inbound-mail/redelivery

We hold items for 18 calendar days before returning them to their sender - any redelivery date must be within 18 calendar days of the first delivery attempt.
48 working hours notice is required for a redelivery (this will be the earliest date selectable online) – if your item is due to be returned prior to this point it will have to be collected.

You don't have to pay for redelivery
You pay if you wish to have the item delivered to a Post Office(£1.50)
Also many DOs have extended opening hours(folks still moan though)
My old office is open 7-7 Mon-Fri(8pm on a Wednesday)
7-2pm on a Saturday
