Missing Xmas Post ?

[Rich]

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 ordered something on Amazon on Monday, to be delivered to my Parents in Stannington as I'm never in at home, it was dispatched yesterday, I paid the extra for first class postage, what's the likelyhood of it arriving before Saturday?

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.

 

I have worked there for 2 years as a temp in the sorting office and we do not steal! We can have our bags and bodies searched at any time.

Without opening every card which goes through the system, how do these "thieving posties" know which contain money ?

Well, it looks like, according to public opinion, we don't bother delivering anything. We just spend all day sat at a table opening envelopes to see what they contain.

We had some christmas cards delivered yesterday in lovely plastic bags with apologies from royal mail that someone had torn open the cards looking for money etc.

 

Luckily none of my friends or relatives are stupid enough to put money/gifts in cards and to trust royal mail and their wonderful, presumeably temporary, xmas staff.

Put in a formal complaint and demand compensation.

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.

The service from royal mail is pathetic.At one Sheffield sorting office one Sat a few months ago, we waited 35 mins for two staff to tell us they were unable to find a package that had been there 2 days!!

Unbelievable.

The worker was unable to copy down our mobile number, three people repeating to him certain digits as he did not get it at all.
