    is your address clearly marked?
    Yes along with that of my 6 neighbours.
    Who also have the same problem.

    Can we get the full story?
    The properties are 'live' and on the RM database.
    So what is the reason for non delivery? It isn't because its a new build.
    have you got delivery points,is there safe access or has something happened?

    I have no idea what the reason is for non delivery.
    All the roads / pavements street signs are all fine & have been since the properties were occupied in December.
    3 semi detached & all got letter boxes !!
    You can't telephone the local sorting office.

    When you take your 15 mile round trip to collect your mail, do they give you any reason why they are not delivering the mail to the 7 houses?

    Why not complain to your Member of Parliament?

    All thise affected need to contact your member of parliament, a complaint to RM and a letter to ofcom would be an idea.

    How did you know that you need to pick up the mail?
    Or did you just one day decide to go to the delivery office and check?
    Have you asked to speak to a manger when collecting it?
    Have you phoned (03457 740 740) Royal Mail and asked?
    Have you complained Contact Us (royalmail.com) ?
    Is the new estate only seven houses, or are there other streets, are they getting post?
    Have you seen a post person in the area?

    I moved into a new build two months ago, the postman for the road knocked and introduced himself (Bob) on the first day.
