Again just had a parcel arrive this morning posted first class on 3/9/20. Although it was sent by Royal Mail it appeared to be delivered by another company unless Royal Mail have changed their uniform to black and royal blue. so maybe they are hiring in people to deal with the back log. I?m still missing lots of things! I send anything important by UPS or Hermes at the moment as they seem more reliable than the mail.

It's not just ED suffering postal issues, the good people of Crystal Palace have also had delayed deliveries.

Two purchases that I?ve bought from the same seller haven?t arrived to me . The first one was 16/09/2020 and the second 1/10/2020 both tracked and because the first one didn?t arrive the second one requested me to sign for . The seller received the proof I signed but I didn?t nor did I receive the item .

I have asked all my neighbours and no one has taken it in plus the signature I believe has to be done by the postman because of corona virus .

I?ve reported it to the sorting office , the seller can claim but this really worries me as who know what else has gone missing ??

I don?t know what to do ?

After complaining to Royal Mail and letting Helen Hayes MP know a month ago I had a deluge of letters ad parcels. Deliveries became a bit better for a while.


I'm now waiting for two parcels posted end-September...by Wednesday it'll be ten working days and the sender can get their money back. So can I, but from now on i'll make every effort to avoid delivery by Royal Mail...


And the tragedy is that the Royal Mail staff are most like treated better than DHL etc., and it's not their fault...

That's interesting Lowlander .I wonder how it works -


"here lads Mr Lowlander of 123 East Dulwich Residence has complained.

All hands on deck to extract his post ."


Makes no sense .Lots of individual complaints result in the complainer getting their backlog . And ( no criticism of you Lowlander ) while Peckham sorting office looking for the complainers post ,are they diverted from normal work ?

If only that were the case :-)


In reality it was likely the fact that the combined efforts of many people complaining to Royal Mail and Helen Hayes that resulted in a temporary improvement.

We have had two postal deliveries in the last fortnight. It seems that when our regular person is off they are simply not covered. I'm expecting several parcels which are now 2 weeks since posting - it really is absolutely infuriating. I have no faith whatsoever in getting anything on time but hopefully they'll turn up eventually. It does seem that if it arrives at the right moment it might come quicker than things which have got stuck in a huge backlog. Very fed up!

9pm.


I heard a strange clatter.


Two supposed posties whizzed down my street, one each side.


The one on my side managed to force a magazine through my letterbox, but sadly had to give up with a cardboard packet clearly marked "Do not bend", which along with some other post he bent in half, tried to get it through, couldn't, so just left it all stuck in the letterbox.


On opening the door to pull it through from the outside, I found another letter dropped on the doorstep.


On looking through the post which had been stuck in the letterbox, I found a letter for somebody several doors down.


Dear oh dear. Have they taken on the Christmas casuals already?

      Holland & Barrett is coming to Lordship Lane

      By jazzer · Posted

      Time will tell if H&B are loved or loathed, the footfall they get and generate will determine if they stay or go. That's the nature of businesses, they come and go dependant on usage. Examples are M&S, Poundland Local, Co-op, Superdrug, Mons, the chain restaurant/takeaways, the chain Estate Agents, Toolstation, Screwfix to name a few.  As much as people would like to see Lordship Lane remain a high street of independents, it is becoming clear that due to Landlords hiking rents, some are unable to survive. This leaves empty units which some of the chain brands considering it to be worth a "punt". I'd have thought that businesses operating in shops is a better alternative than a high street with multiple empty units, but what do I know, they are just thoughts on the subject.   Take a look at Croydon and Bromley where what were once thriving high streets are in decline.  I have to say that some of the prices charged by the independents are eye watering, and incomes i'd have thought have to be substantial to afford their prices. Personally I'd love a Lidl to open on what was the site of the Harvester, but I guess that would get shouted down, oh the thought of Lidl in Dulwich. Whatever next.

      I don’t know what the shop was originally next to the big St Christopher’s but if Holland and Barrett are taking it over then surely it’s good to have a choice on Lordship Lane? The Camberwell H&B is always empty but the Brixton branch busy.  I remember when the Marks & Spencer food shop was Iceland? Now the M&S is a very busy store and at the time regenerated the high street!

      Nor would I have done, but it came up when I googled John Lewis reviews. Do you not trust TrustPilot reviews? Even allowing for the fact that many people only post reviews when they have had poor service, 27% one star reviews is indicative of something wrong, I would say. That's 27% of 76,392 reviews. That's an awful lot of people who don't  think the service they got from John Lewis was even worth two stars, let alone more. Screenshot attached.
