Mister M Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Yeah, their open hours to collect your stuff are terrible. I couldn't have even picked up on Friday and I finish early. Some SERIOUS changes need to take place. Then again, they are held hostage by unions so no progress can be made. Damn those pesky unions. They deliberately stop people picking up their parcels out of spite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 How does the postie get the parcel in to one of those? Am I being really stupid..? You leave it unlocked and with the door slightly ajar for the postie. They then put your parcel in and close the door which then locks securely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T 42 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Forget all this leave it with a neighbour rubbish. On several occssions I've heard the letter box and rushed down to find the card telling me they tried to deliver. I've chased after the postman and asked for the package only to be told he doesn't have it. It never left the parcels office. Some of the postmen can't be bothered walking around all day with packages that might not be deliverable. So they just stick cards through doors and expect the customer to collect.

Odin's Wrath Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 We've been taking each others post in for years on Binsted. It seems the common sense thing to do. Even more so with the delivery office only being open 7-11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had that before many times. There is little you can do except complain to the mangement, which then ensures that your post is trod on, misdelivered, or just plain "lost" with little recourse to you except to complain more.

Mister M Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I'm surprised by the poor experiences people have had on here with the posting of parcels, as my experinces of Royal Mail in this regard has always been very positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Yep,I've seen post #34 Yeah I noticed that after I posted. I'd opened the thread then got called away from my desk, returned a bit later and posted my reply then noticed there had been others and couldn't be bothered to edit.
