You woke my whole household claiming your iPhone was at my address according to your iPhone tracker, which as I told you was not inside my property and advised to look around outside ,hope you found it and as I advised last night call police befor you come knocking on my door telling me you can't beat technology and your phone was in my home.if I found a phone I would hand it in to a police station,hope you have reported lost phone ,so it's blocked and useless to anyone .
I was shopping en route to some elderly relatives and found someones phone in Morrisons car park. I decided to do the right thing and walk over to Peckham Police Station to hand it in. I stuck a note to the post nearby to say what I had done should the owner return looking for it. There was a long queue to be seen, I waited for over half an hour in the company of rowdy people I would rather not have been around. When I did get into the secure area, the desk officer tried for ages to unlock the phone to see if they could find a number to ring to find the owner, they couldn't unlock it, so I then had to fill in the "found" form. Got back to my car and defrosted food ..... I WOULD THINK TWICE IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN.
I've found phones on two occasions and have been able to find a number on there saying 'home', or 'sister' etc and been able to return the phones to grateful owners. But I can also understand why people pin protect their phones too. Surely if the IME number is registered the police can trace the owner.

Must be quite upsetting to have someone demanding their phone back when you don't have it. Gloves1980 seems insistent despite it being quite obvious that phone trackers are not that accurate.


Also, not that it matters for this thread, but Gloves1980 seems to sign off both Janet or James in different threads.

    • Hello. Would you like a sofa bed? We have one to give away…photos attached. The scatter cushions are not included.
    • Complaint submitted.  Your helpful link took me straight to the relevant page. 🙏
    • I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience    
    • Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
