Royal mail complaint

[crofty1984]

Royal Mail are a bunch of strike-hungry, toss-bagging, pissarse communists!
Extra special mega guaranteed next-day delivery, Sir? That’ll be a fortune, please.
Oh you’re not in because you have a job, don’t worry, you can wait an extra day and pick it up from our depot.
Oh, not THAT depot, Sir, not the one on your way home that’s open until 7pm. The other one, the one that shuts at fking midday.
But don’t worry Sir, you can have it redelivered to another address for free.
Oh, no you can’t, because you went to the trouble of paying extra for a presumably better service, so we’ll only deliver it to the original address.
But don’t worry, you can pick it up at 7am!

Reading between the lines... You're not happy with them?

Bravo 7/10

[Jasandjules]

Sounds like you paid for the premium level of service.

[SWoll]

Probably shouldn't have paid for the service that specifically says the item has to be signed for on delivery then?

Just a thought.

Lousy post.

[DrDoofenshmirtz]

So you paid for a signed for service, to be signed for at an address where nobody is in during the day?
...and you blame Royal Mail?

Top Tip - have items delivered where somebody is around to sign for it.

I'm the one on the receiving end, so didn't have much say over how it was posted.
Though I do know the guy who did post it went in and just asked for the fastest possible delivery. Not fastest if the planets align or it has to be guarantee signed for proof of delivery. Just the fastest. Which this clearly isn't.
I've had deliveries where the postie has signed to say it's been delivered, and a little post cupboard. Though this would have dropped through the letterbox.
I will be getting anything delivered to work in the future though.

That said though, what sort of a customer-facing business knocks off as midday every day?

Last week I had 2 parcels delivered on 2 consecutive days. Well, I say delivered - despite us being in all day, a "sorry, you were out" car was left in the postbox at the gates with no attempt to use the intercom. The cards were marked as "item too big for letterbox".

When I went to the local sorting office and complained vigorously, the bloke behind the counter just shrugged and said "yeah, he shouldn't have done that".
I know full well it was deliberate so they didnt have to carry the extra bulk of a parcel with them on the round.

Don't worry, DHL will be in charge soon and then it will all work like clockwork.

But it was delivered, you just weren't there to receive it. Hardly their fault...

far too much like sense for PH

RMSD has in my experience been very good at passingthe ronseal test

it;s also one of the few standard services good enough for medical records or legal paperwork ( it's tracked at each stage in and out)

This basically.

I send everything 1st class. Gets there next day, and don't have all that signed for crap. So postie leaves with neighbour, in porch etc. Perfect. Theft-wise royal mail seems quite good thankfully, so it does normally get there safely.

Seems harsh.

Worst I have an intercom post ever.

[DervVW]

rant needs more venom 6/10

[Mobile Chicane]

Dave the Postie leaves a card for me to collect the item from the Sorting Office.

Then, when I go in to collect it, either he or a colleague hands me the rest of my day's post. No extra charged for this. They call me Miss ________ as well. I feel like royalty.
