Postie can't fit mail in letter box, how does that make him a jobsworth?
I agree, they are literally frightened to disobey the new rules.
I was told by our earlier regular guy that it was something that was put into place in prep for privatisation, people have been sacked for the "offence", so we can't shoot the messenger can we FD?.I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

"refused" you say, my take on it, they are not allowed to leave post in an open unsecured conservatory.
I must admit, seeing those signs my first thought was the "please" was glaringly absent.0 -
It does not look very large so I hope it does all that is needed. Not really big enough for a few deliveries that I get. It's a pity that something a little bit bigger, which came closer to the size of the rectangular area, could not be found.
However if it works for you, then that is all that matters.0 -
Look's like a good solution

I hope my local postie doesn't suddenly decide he's no longer allowed to open my porch and leave parcels there
Posties often find they can bend the rules when it suits though, if you look carefully you'll see a stainless steel letter box affixed to the first post by the boat ramp

Needless to say that after a couple of weeks, and a somewhat dramatic increase in letters posted to the property in question
my incorrectly positioned letter box was suddenly preferable to one positioned in line with New Zealand Post guidelines :rotfl: 0 -
If you have an area for one you can buy parcel boxes like these that you can bolt down or to a wall. http://www.asgardsss.co.uk/parcel-delivery-boxes/medium-delivery-box?gclid=CjwKEAiA4rujBRDD7IG_wOPytXkSJACTMkgaC7Vg89IIpAu59uR_FOBPlUEt5E6dOtEOHEzc4QWHpBoCZi3w_wcB0
