Missing Xmas Post ?

[Leah-Lacie]

Last year I had a few birthday cards (in December) arrive open, and one of my Aunties had sent a card with £5 in, which funnily enough never made it

One of them deffo had money in, one other had a cheque. Sorry to hear others have been stolen from, its about time the royal mail took steps with their staff, its very wrong.

As mentioned on a previous post i work at royal mail for the Christmas period, we process tens of thousands of letters every day at the sorting office, I have only seen one item of money in nearly 5 weeks and that was duly handed in so please don't tar everybody with the same brush. Sending money in the post is foolish, along with poor wrapping (seriously Christmas wrapping paper, tesco carriers, very flimsy brown paper are not suitable). Not using the post code, bad writing, red envelopes, especially written on in those stupid metallic ink pens, all slow up the process.

Same here in S6, been waiting for an Amazon parcel since Monday :/

I've got stuff dispatched on 13th thats not arrived yet, more than one parcel, I trust it will get here before Christmas!

[detheridge02]

From the 13th?

I'd contact Amazon asap. Parcels have a knack of going missing this time of year especially packages emblazoned with our favourite online stores' logo!

I am missing loads of cards. At least 10 . I know they have been posted ,just disappeared from the system . One had a cheque in so at least i know they cant get their hands on the money.

At last someone talking sense. I get so fed up of all the Royal Mail bashing, just wait til its privatised and you are paying 3,4 or 5 times the price for a worse service. Think of British Rail, British Gas, YEB need I go on.

 

As for Amazon packets, we send loads back cos labels have come off in the bag, and as we can't match them to their packets they go back. not all but a lot.

It's always like this at this time of year but has been particularly bad this year. Royal Mail set up their own agency to take on temps and it's been an absolute shambles, the temps haven't been paid and probably won't be until after Xmas.

 

It doesn't excuse stealing but you can see why there is no incentive for the temps NOT to steal when that is the case.
