Royal Mail

Options
I have a new royal mail worker who now delivers my post , i got a parcel the other week and i was a little late opening the door but luckily i caught up with him as he was just going to cycle away.

He had a small parcel , yet he fail to card me for it and was just going to take it away.....the previous worker would either card me or leave it some place safe.

Now i was expecting a parcel last week and its still not shown up , i did hear a knock early in the morning on wednesday but i was in the shower , i looked out my window and it was the postman ....i was to late as he cycled away.

I check my hallway , i had no letters or cards and i checked my doorstep and nothing.


I rang my local depot a few days later and they had nothing either.

I know i shouldn't jump to conclusions but I've had a few things go missing now since i had a new postman , where as before nothing went missing.

I just tried to ring Royal mail to make a complaint as to why I'm now having missing mail , everytime i ring royal mail it keeps cutting me off and saying call back later as they are to busy

I just thought i would vent off about it as I'm just sick of it now , I'm even avoiding buying anything of the Internet now out of fear that it may go missing!

I shop online everyday but most of my items are sent by courier and only a few by Royal mail ,just wished everyone i order from used recorded or some kind of tracking service as ive totally lost faith in Royal mail.

Mind u i did send money by recorded delivery once , stupid i know , guess what , money was missing :mad: must be some real scum bags about who dont deserve to be alive!

    perhaps he had run out of cards,his pen had died on him,he planned to bring it back out the next day?

    I caught the postman putting a card through our door saying he had a parcel for us, but as we were out, we would have to collect it from the sorting office.

    When I pointed out I was indeed in, he refused to give me the parcel. It was fairly clear that he did not take any parcels out with him to save the hassle of lugging a load of parcels around which mostly would be returned as the householders would be at work.

    As usual, the complaint to the post office was not even acknowledged.
