Arrghhh Post people....?

Question

My post lady is such a scum bag, All Christmas and birthday cards are posted... opened and money and vouchers are missing. Bank cards go "missing" in the post and also things from ebay are always missing or opened often the high value items are missing.


I have complained to the post service about this and they do not take it seriously. I live in a small village and there are a lot of elderly residents, I suppose things go missing from their post too.

Its so infuriating, what makes thing worse is that she comes at 3pm weekdays, I always make sure I am up early and my gate is open when I am expecting packages. Weekends, when we want a lie in, she calls at 7am!

Today I was expecting a parcel, My gate was open and I have a post box on the back of my gate for days when the gate is locked.

As usual she called at 3pm.

She left a "attempted delivery" note saying the package was too big for my letter box and left the note in the post box on my gate, My gate was wide open!!!! I don't see why she couldn't just walk a further 2 foot to my front door and knock!!

Now I have to drive 10 miles to the nearest post depo to collect my package, which I assume probably wont be there as usual.

Does anyone else have this or similar problem, what do you do?

Also does anyone have any nice post men or ladies?

Thanks xxx

Answer 1

One day just pretend you are not there and video her false attempt at delivery. That would be irrefutable proof. Collect a petition from other people as well - things like this would make it impossible for the post service to ignore your complaints,



Before you do any of the above you could try talking to her direct and tell her you are not happy with her service - again record this and her response - all ammunition for your case.



I have a lovely postman - but you just can't rely on the time of delivery.

Answer 2

It's a disgrace-I remember when postmen delivered on time and wore uniforms-I saw one in a tracksuit the other day-what's that about! They always try that attempted delivery thing as well,without even knocking the door.

What I would do is keep sending letters to the most isolated corner of your village where he has to walk miles-that'll teach him!

Answer 3

That sounds horrible, I would persist with the complaints and if they refuse to do anything, tell them you will take things further and phone the police as you believe she has been stealing.



Its really serious that she goes through your mail, so don't give up!



I've never had an experience like this, so I'm lucky!
