Very long shot here but i can't help my partner tonight to collect a washing machine near the end of peckham rye park on forrest hill road whuch was offered to us and we realy need it. I am pregnant so it's too heavy for me to carry.

Would someone be able to help us just to put it in the car when we pick it up there. We would find help from neighbours when we arrive at home but know nobody near the area of pick up.

- Is that literally from the pavement into a car or from within the house itself ?

- will it go into the car on its side ? If so has the water in the pump been drained ?

- if the boot of the car has a lip what is the height ?

- roughly what time this evening ?

Hi, thanks for your message.

For the pick-up:

the washing machine is in the garden so ground floor level, there is a side return and a ramp down the street.

We have an ok trolley to help roll it but the main job would be to put it into the van so my boyfriend doesn't hurt his back.


- will it go into the car on its side? If so has the water in the pump been drained ?

I think the water pump's been drained, but unsure...


- if the boot of the car has a lip what is the height ?

At the back, I don't know it's a Zipcar Volkswagen transporter.


- Roughly what time this evening ?

Between 6:00 and 6:30.



Best,

Neila.

I have not received it but had to postponed the pickup anyway hopefully the lady who was donating it will be ok for us to reschedule and be better prepared.

Thanks for your message it was very kind of you to come to our rescousse ! I have posted everywhere and you are the only person who messaged us so really appreciated it!

    • I am sure what the new plan is but who knows how the postal service will work from here onwards 
    • My experience is that my local letter box does have week-day-ly collections - but I think very early in the morning, not at the old 'around 5.00pm' times. There are several daily collections from the box outside the Forest Hill Road sub-post office. I don't think the 'Monday' tab is now ever changed. Mail collections from boxes have got nothing to do with the service we (don't) get from the Peckham Delivery Office. Your Wednesday 12th posting would probably only have been collected on Thursday 13th, if it was posted after 9.00am. If it was being delivered in East Dulwich (where the Peckham DO does come into play) then getting it by the following Tuesday is probably par for the course.
    • Are there no daily collections from post boxes any more? On Wednesday Feb 12 I posted a Valentine's Card in the postbox which is about 20 metres from our house to make sure it arrived by Feb 14 (yes I know I could've put it thru letterbox but that's not as romantic is it). After I posted it I noticed the little metal thingy said "Monday" but I thought this must be a mistake and had not been changed. However, Valentine's Day came and went and no card arrived. In fact it arrived on the following Tuesday, Feb 18 so I'm guessing the Monday collection metal thingy was correct. Has it ever been announced officially that there are no longer daily collections from letterboxes? I remember a time, not even that long ago, when the red postman pat van would pull up at least twice a day, every weekday.    
    • My lovely tuxedo cat, Rexy, has been missing since Wednesday which is very out of character. Rodwell Road area, SE22. He is a rescue cat so really quite timid with people he doesn’t know. If you spot him, could you please contact me? Many thanks. He is chipped and neutered.  Photos attached.
