Anyone else been suffering from this sloppy practice that the Royal Mail allow rogue posties to get away with ?

'Sorry you were out': Why does the Royal Mail leave this card when you know you were in?

Todays article about long queues at sorting offices made worse by these cards

Who said online shopping was convenient? Customers wait in the cold at sorting office for collection for up to 90 minutes

My pet hate too.

Competition and internet has its downside.....everyone on minimum wage and in too much of a damned rush to get their 100s of calls done that day. :NoNo:

'Service' ? - non-existent, and parcel vans driven as if by madmen everywhere. :rolleyes:

The rot set in with the Royal Mail when that corporate cockroach Crozier was put in by his chum Blair to run them.

Well ... :rolleyes: ... with an EXPLOSIVE topic like this, Graham ... SOMEONE needed to "drop a bombshell" POST HASTE in order to lighten the proceedings up a bit ! :anerikke: Which is WHY I recommended adding "Dinah" - rather than any male (phonetically speaking, of course) - to essentially, "pack a punch" :xxsport-smiley-002: ... as "part & parcel" of the Royal Mail Delivery Service.

Letter box clever :yeahthat: and get on with it! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

A bit more in todays paper

The number of complaints about postmen leaving cards to say residents weren't in when they tried to deliver packages, when in fact the householders were home, has risen by more than a third.

The cards are meant to be used by postmen if they knocked the door to deliver a parcel and received no response from the resident.

However, it appears the cards are being increasingly misused, pre-prepared by postmen seeking to lighten their loads and save time on their rounds.

Royal mail service is not great! We had so many bad experiences from them. We used next day delivery service last year and all of the sudden my husband's Agency called saying where is the passport? We we're puzzled as we included it when we post the Documents. We suspect that the postman in London have stolen the passport.. it's funny though because all the documents arrive except for the passport. And then, when we filed claim, they did not pay us, not even a single penny. What a joke!:cwm23::xxaction-smiley-047
