Missing post since sorting office moved to peckham

[Penguin68]

Love how apparently it takes an hour to get to Peckham though . . I think this is just typical Guardian poor subbing, as earlier in the piece it refers to '30 minutes walk' - I think the piece should have read an hour-long round trip by bus - which would make more sense - with waiting times it may well be from many parts of ED.

In Southwark, 60% of households don't have access to a car. Page 11 http://content.tfl.gov.uk/technical-note-12-how-many-cars-are-there-in-london.pdf

Door to door from from Mount Adon Road it's about a 40 minute walk. The bus would shave maybe 10 minutes off that during peak times, so not far off to say an hour round trip.

Two buses? I also live near Sylvester Road. I get the 12 from Barry Road if going to Peckham by bus (but I've not had to go to the delivery office yet, thank goodness).

[pecksniff]

Just a quick heads up if you were due to collect an item today and received a non delivery card yesterday. They've displayed notices indicating items are unlikely to be available today due to a system fault.

Sue, I?m on crutches sotend to take a bus to the library first. I used to walk to Barry Rd pre-crutches!

[GinaG3]

Taking 10-14 days for post to arrive with me right now! And the postmen we've got delivering are shockingly bad. Had post for west Norwood address yesterday, its miles away!! We always get next doors, they get ours, someone comes from 3 streets down. Its become a nightmare.

[singalto]

I don?t understand why we haven?t been allocated regular posties. I had post twice last week and my bank statements are always 10 days late.

[SJK]

I have the same issues... Post once a week if we are lucky. Post for a different address on multiple occasions and even a parcel for another address that required a signature shoved through our letter box! It must be nearly 2 months since the sorting office closed and still no improvement.

Either no-one's sending us any cards this Christmas, or something is very wrong with the delivery.

Hi all,

Martha here from ITV LONDON.

We are looking to report on what has been happening to your post and the closure of the East Dulwich depot on the news tomorrow.

I am looking to speak to as many of you that have been effected as possible.

I have put in a bid to speak to Helen Hayse who I understand has been leading the campaign.

I also also requested to speak to someone from Royal Mail.

Please get in contact if you would be happy to speak to us - [email protected]

Thanks so much!

Martha

I was thinking the exact same thing - one card from Japan so far and none from the UK! Luckily international parcels have been sent by DHL etc.

noticed that - at least they have journalists taking note of ED :)

I think on the hours round trip it would include walking to the bus stop - going back in to check you turned the lights off - walking out again - waiting for the bus - travelling on the bus - a queue up East Dulwich Road and jostling through the crowd on Rye Lane. So probably is 30 mins each way.

Still waiting for a parcel that was sent on 5 December by Royal Mail - nearly two weeks now...

I hope you are talking Christmas cards and not something else the postie is giving you 😳

[Bic Basher]

Now this is strange, I got a Christmas card today posted yesterday from Guernsey, yet nothing locally!

[Lynne]

Got a sackful yesterday, about 4.00pm One post already this morning, the largest card had been opened.

[Caro9429]

Also received a card that was opened...

[singalto]

I have just got 8 bits of post which means that I have now had post three times since Monday of last week!
