This happens everytime their is a new postman on the route !! Another problem exists in that the house that they deliver our mail too is rarely inhabited ,and when it is ,the lady cannot be bothered to deliver ??? I have lost cheques and very important financial information in the 9 years we have lived here . We have complained on numerous occassions without anybody listening . For us the Royal Mail service has descended into a joke institution which has been led over the recent years by overpaid and incompetent figureheads !!! :lfo
There really isn't enough information here, but there is a contradiction. You, if you're ever likely to come back, have already indicated that the problem is repeated when a successive new post person delivers in your area. This kind of suggests to me that you may need to speak with your neighbour, so that a notice can be added somewhere in full view where a delivery person might easily see that your actual number is, in fact, around the corner.
If say, you are house number 1A, and your neighbour's number is 1, then asking your neighbour to kindly allow for a sign to be placed near their number should almost certainly solve this problem. Of course, I have no idea how your other neighbours may view you. I mean, they too may have their doubts about you, as I frankly do.

My postman doesn't even bother knocking the door now because I used to leave for work early in the morning, he thinks I'm not going to be in. I'm forever going to the post office centre to pick up small packages that won't quite fit through the letterbox, but even though they don't need signatures, he won't leave them, simply because he can't be bothered to open the large box by the side of my door.
The post office ? Waste of time!! When they all lose their jobs and the service is completely obliterated, then they will complain. Like all of our institutions are becoming, Lazy, Unreliable, Scruffy and adopt an 'I don't care attitude'
...An attitude much like yours' then? Should we now also assume that all customers are like you, and who have this same unhelpful attitude that you do towards us? No, I think not, mostly because you are not here to find out what possible reason there could be for your postman to do what he does. Shame that one of our customers like you are not intelligent enough to have inquired at an earlier stage as to why your postman was not doing what you feel is so obvious.
Hmm, but even a large box that can be accessed by anyone is still an invitation to do just that -- be accessed by anyone. Think about the many other unknown visitors you may have had in a day, week or whatever. Then again, this large box may have a one-way access -- or not. Who knows? How are we to know what is fact from your fiction?
come back monday it will be here then
