Why have you become such a prolific poster on here over the last 2 and a half weeks? You joined the forum almost 2 years ago...

Skiisunday I have reported you as you are quite abusive and continue to harasse me online . You are also highjacking posts in forums for your own personal issue . Whether I post on subjects or a certain amount of times has nothing to do with you . I would kindly ask the admin that you are at least suspended on here to think about the extent of bullying you doing !

I use them for example if I need anything from Amazon under the minimum value for free delivery as it's free delivery to lockers or parcel shops such as post offices or Waitrose etc if you select the regular slow option, I've discovered though most items turn up quicker anyway I'm guessing they just send them regardless if it's a locker dropoff.

Three times I opted for a locker yet the driver still posts in my letter box or knocks on the door . That's the downside to this is that you ask a simple instruction yet you get different

That's a little more than impolite; we encourage people to post stories about Royal Mail that either interest them or they think will interest others. I would have thought other members would be appreciative rather than accusatory.

I would actually like to see him removed really . Looking through his history of posts he trolls a lot of posties on here . Not only that he has made racist remarks that not only management in RM should be looking at , but would easy warrant a knock on his door by the police ! Let's have a tighter control admin on here as he for one has been doing abusive comments for a fair while I have seen

And that is why the moderator/ admin needs to be on it asap now . It's driven opgs off the forums because of this and one or two other "trolls" he's clearly an opg himself so if he's posting racist comments he really should be looked into !

Can't understand how that could happen, when you place your order you choose the delivery address beit your home address or a locker/parcel shop etc, what were the circumstances for yours that went wrong ? Did you do some sort of inflight request that wasn't actioned ?

Not influght but at start of the delivery. That then got put back to next day . But instead of using locker they delivered it . As it happens it was a win for me as I eventually wanted that but I just could never trust that it goes to a locker on a couple occasions before aswel

This is an absurd post. You need to be linking my 'racist remarks' that would warrant losing my job and a 'police knock on my door,' also 'driven OPGs off this forum' WTF are you on about?
It's seems to always be a case of deflection when people accuse others of being abusive on social media/forums.
