Even when mail does eventually arrive it's delivered by a surly, scruffy lad who scowls when I politely ask him for the umpteenth time to SHUT THE FUCKING GATE!



So now he won't knock on for parcels/signature required stuff, just to spite me. I have two big dogs who go beserk when someone knocks on next door's house, never mind mine, but the attached card was pushed through the letterbox on Saturday without so much as a tap.



The letter concerned was a travel Visa for my new job, which I was due to fly out to on Monday morning - so pretty important. The idiot has written TUESDAY on the card, for collection purposes. That's a lot of lost income thanks to this tool.



I phoned the local depot, which is staffed by arseholes who couldn't give a shit. When the "Officer in Charge" (??!) asked what I wanted him to do about it I told him to get out to this round and find his trained monkey to recover the mail. He said he might have finished and 'gone shopping'. At half eleven I asked him why, after paying extortionate 'Special Delivery' rates I hadn't received the item, he said "you should have answered the door, then". That was it, I blew. He went on to say "it's his word against yours" - and dismissed the fact that my girlfriend was also downstairs and heard nothing!



Basically, they're dying on their feet. An old, wheezing monopoly that needs fucking shooting dead. Let the private sector in, see if they can do better - can't be worse than this mess!

Ok so the queues this time of year are mad! But putting a sign like this up to help people out is great! When it applies! Went to counter 4... Then was told to rejoin the queue at the back, you can't expect to be served first! I didn't mind waiting... But no a position closed sign came out and i was asked to join the queue again... I ripped this sign down! It clearly doesn't apply! Fucking stupid, just plays on peoples anger problems! :)

Hi, where can I complain about Royal Mail service - see the red card, also postman signed for me a letter and put it through the door. I have not signed for this, should I complain about this? Cheers

It'r coming up to christmas and i can't be bothered ringing the buzzer season! :(

I'm just wondering how many people have actually been affected by the strikes taking place all over the UK.

Aberdeen has been hit bad for a few days now with nothing arriving or being sorted at all... After a quick call to the sorting office i heard that any special deliveries were being handled by managers, as the normal posties has staged an unofficial walkout.

Bit of a pain really... Please let me know your thoughts.
