Where is it you went to, please?

Talked to postee today they don't have enough staff to sort it due to self isolating holidays and people leaving it's just piling up it will just keep getting worse Peckham sorting office was to small for the area before East Dulwich closed so we've got no chance of much improvement.

I?ve had 4 letters in the past two weeks on two separate days delivered to the wrong house !

I purchased an item on 7Th sept to arrive no later than the 11 Th it?s tracked but nothing yet , I rang the complaints head office who were very nice and gave me a ref number this was for thr first two letters missed posted and within two days it happened again 😡

The package has still not come and so the seller can claim for the cost . A week ago they sent me a replacement which still hasn?t come !

I?m Belvoir road

I saw three different Royal Mail vans plus two other postmen on our street today and still no post.

Speaking with work colleagues their post hasn't been an issue during the past year and my family receive post the week I send it. It's clearly the Sorting Office that's the problem and despite Helen Hayes getting involved, nothing has changed and it will only get worse nearer Christmas.

I found if parcels or small packages were sent tracked 24 or 48, I got the deliveries on time this week, but there were delays to normal post again this week.


Clearly if you pay more, the Royal Mail is prioritising those over thoss sent standard 1st/2nd class.

I went to the sorting office on Saturday and explained my missing post. The very friendly member of staff did find one parcel for me, which they did apparently try to deliver 2 weeks ago (no card left though). As for my other missing items, I was told these are in a big pile which will be delivered at some point... I have already waited 6 weeks, so I wonder how big this pile is!

Hi James,


I just received a package that was posted nearly four weeks ago and another item from nearly two weeks ago. I?m on Melbourne Grove and saw two young posties I didn?t recognise that have probably brought in to get rid of a backlog/pile of post.


The thing is the online Royal Mail tracker updated after it was delivered but the delivery date it states is Sept 8 (when it should have arrived) but this is obviously false as it was just delivered today. Surely this should be investigated as it is a deliberate mistruth?

Out of interest, are you also working to sort the issue long term?

It wouldn't be the first time a councillor has taken to nudging RM on this subject and it sorts it self for a short time before reverting back to the new norm of no post.

Thanks James for raising this. My mum has had to step sending gifts to her grand children as the parcels never arrive. She was particularly upset that the last gift for my kids, sent a couple of months ago, never made it. What is even more infuriating is that there seems to be no recourse. What other business would be able to deliver such shocking service, losing valuable property placed in its charge, with zero apology or accountability !?
If they are struggling to make deliveries because of staff shortage then they should not be taking people?s money and falsely representing that their property is safe and will be delivered as promised. Surely it can?t be brushed aside as ?one of those things?.

Yes, same here. I receive details of medical appointments by text and am in favour of that as it saves paper. I am more worried about financial stuff getting lost in the post. And personal items, eg letters from family and friends.

Haven?t received Christmas cards that where sent second week in December, haven?t received Christmas Presents that we?re posted 14th Dec. Received medical letters yesterday that were posted 5th December (first Mail I?ve received since mid November)

    • Is it? Let's see  Farming is a tough gig with increasingly lower returns, if farms have to sell off land to pay inheritance tax it will reduce their ability to survive. Which in real terms could mean more farm land lost and more reliance on imported food which sees money flowing out, not in to the country.  But I guess as long as you get cheap food that doesn't concern you 😉  Lol "what about the cars"  again Mal... like a broken record....  Governments know that squeezing car drivers for more fuel duty will drive down income from taxes as people switch to electric, which would leave them with a black hole in income. Guess the fuel duty is a fine balancing act tiĺl enough electric cars have been sold to raise tax revenue from their use. 
    • Hello - if anyone is in need of sofa/rug/carpet cleaning, we have recently had a very good experience with husband and wife team Kate and Vlad. They're a very reasonable cost and the result was great (don't look too closely at the colour of the water that comes out!) Kate's number is 07731 140246
    • You can buy your parcel postage (tracked or any other) online from Royal Mail, they will come to your address with the label and pick up your parcel, (no extra charge) alternatively, you can print your label at home and apply to your parcel for them to pick up from you also. The other option is to drop off your labelled parcel to the Royal Mail Delivery Office of your choice.
    • A silly title, Truss set such a high bar I doubt whether anyone can ever match her level of incompetence and level of delusion. Paul Johnson spoke on inheritance tax on one of the political programmes.  Any inheritance tax is controversial, and he considered farmers should not be an expectation I was underwhelmed and incredibly disappointed that there was no increase in fuel duty; Labour chickened out and I will be telling Rachel's sister this view. Paul Johnson has written a good article on his analysis and that the budget was not at all revolutionary https://ifs.org.uk/articles/budget-was-non-event-and-kicked-big-decisions-down-road If you want something to worry about look over the Pond Reality check - pound crashed against the dollar and other major currencies following Brexit vote - 1.70 to 1.20, and has never recovered Truss's mini budget sent it to almost an all time low 1.08, from around 1.20 the week before Reeves budget it lost a cent, and fared worse since Trump won the election.
