Royal Mail (merged threads)

Hmm I got a postal delivery today but I didn't expect one.
I do find Royal Mail very unreliable and I often question whether deliveries are being made daily. I have already discovered once they are not but I feel it's happening more often.
I stay in a new development which isn't exactly on a postal route so 1 or 2 postmen come in a van then start delivering. I normally see the van but there are several days when the van doesn't appear. Which is rather strange seen as there is in excess of 300 homes here.
My mail normally appears before 12 on a Saturday. But during the week it will be between 11am - 5pm. It's rather strange getting home to see your postman at the door!
I have on on occasion discovered them not delivering mail when they should. I received my usual delivery one day - I was expecting 2 bills which had still not appeared and they didn't arrive. This was around 1pm. At around 3pm I received more mail in a 2nd delivery - which from the postmarks show it should have been delivered ruffly 2 days prior to this.
I have complained twice now about suspecting deliveries not being made but they only reply with "no reports of problems in your area" and generally there is no way I can prove deliveries are being missed other than when mail finally arrives - which if it's only a day late its still hard to prove.0 -
I posted some Easter cards out, first class, on Wednesday morning -felt sure they'd arrive by today but apparently not ! At this rate by the time they get there -if they ever do - it'll be a bit late.
Parcel posted to my grandchildren on Monday arrived next day..............previous week...........parcel posted on Wednesday to hopefully arrive by the weekend of that week (4-5th) -still no sign of it
And as I didn't use track or trace I think I'll have to write it off:mad:Mary
I'm creative -you can't expect me to be neat too !
