olilew Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Woke up this morning to see the dreaded red card on the mat could not deliver too large. He or she must be blind i have a note on the door asking them to leave whith neighbour, it is not the first time this has happened in fact the service at thorpe hesley is the pitts. I'm glad I am not a neighbour of yours because I would not want my Sunday lie-in disturbed by the postman with a parcel for YOU! Especially as you were indeed in! Also do you think we have time to try every neighbour in your street with your parcel? How long do you think each parcel would take if we had to do that? I would only do it if it specified just ONE neighbour and then only next door. You see notes on peoples door asking us to take it to a house 5 or 6 doors away or across the road, it aint happening mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyoHazuki Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Just had 2 post vans on our road delivering on a Sunday morning (S5)! Hmm, sadly as expected nothing here at Lane Top today. Had me fingers crossed and everything. I'm only round the corner from the delivery office and would have fetched it all if I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirakk Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 well we are talking about us getting our own shopping rather then ordering online, so i thought you saying 7 bags was aimed at them We carry on average 7 bags a day (not all at once). Like i have said ,ordering online is great and do it myself. Shopping in these conditions with kids etc is a no go, but expecting the postie to deliver everyone's purchases on time is also a no go. How many did not even try to get to work? We had to get to our nearest delivery office ( or not get any pay) When getting there we were sent home due to no mail/packets from mail centre from brightside. Most tried their best to please the customer and will have to clear the backlog in the next week,big freeze or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scargill Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 ONE bag ? try seven on a good day,also we have dependants as well we have to pick up from school etc, with the weather being as it is . What exactly did you do before the internet?that was my question . But you need to look at internet shopping as a positive for the postal services, how many posties would be out of work if it was not for stuff ordered on line and delivered by post or courier.

Not saying that,It's keeping RM going. What happened to going to the shops,having a day in town and buying things you REALLY need. That is still the question i asked. I buy online but still enjoy town and window shopping,and buying things that fit me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
