Postman delivering to wrong address

Options
Who do I need to phone about the new postman delivering parcels for my address to another address down the road from me. I've tried phoning the sorting office but the never answer the phone.

    Or you can ring and make a complaint, good for stress relief. Even better, catch the postman whilst he's out and about and have words with him.

    They could be being mis delivered by accident, or under the Deliver to Neighbour scheme.

    Well I really wouldn't expect them to be doing it on purpose ;)

    I get this regularly for houses of the same number but different street names/post codes.

  • I went on royal mail's live chat and they said something about mis delivered and they would make a complaint to the manager. The thing I don't get is he delivered letters to my house everyday this week but twice this week he posted the parcels to another address.
  • Is it the same postie?

    In the meantime, maybe the other address would kindly display a small notice for you "This is not ....., which is up the road; parcels for .... need to be up the road, not here".

    That would suggest that it's possibly one postman delivering the letters and another delivering the parcels ?
