deliverys should be done by 2pm towns 3pm rurals but this as you see is not always the case (bad managment from the top down)

Welcome Mamajock.

Answers:

1. If he is in normal clothes then he is either a manager covering a duty as someone has gone sick. Or more likely he is a casual and is struggling to get round.

2. The time of delivery has not yet changed. My office we leave to do our rounds at 830 and finish around 1200 - 1230. This is going to change soon but only by an hour or an hour-and-a-half.

3. There is no normal time for post as it depends on who is doing your round and how they do it. Different posties do rounds in different ways. However most deliveries should be completed by around 2.00pm (even with the later start times). Give your local DO a ring and ask to speak to a manager and explain that you are getting your post late all the time. Hopefully they will be able to tell you why. They should also be able to advise if there is any backlog which is holding your cards up (however some banks use courier services these days to deliver the cards).

thats how sad things have gone im afraid.
years ago newbies had armbands to say who they were.
now it's any thing R/M can drag through the door that can walk, no ID, nothing
get in touch with customer services and voice your concerns about these delivery people and your lost mail.
hope this helps.

thanks very much for your replys
i like in middle of a very large village so it not like i in rural area

i was a bit worried about ringing my local area office incase they thought i was just being a nagging old crow
my work who is litarly round the corner from me has had no problems with the post and is still being deliverd at the normal time so i a bit puzzled by it
any how thanks for replys

[mamajock]

any casuals or managers delivering mail should at least be wearing hi-vis vests to distinguish them[/quote]

Can you look on the package and confirm it is Royal Mail? Alot of people still think we the only ones delivering packets. And we get the blame for other couriers. Jeans and t-shirt! No english! Was he on a bike or driving a RED VAN? Something doesn't seem quite right here?

[mamajock]

Sorry your service is so bad Mamajock.,.. :cfo :lfo But with these two involved in OUR business then this is wot we ALL will have to put up with..... Do you, me, everyone a favour and COMPLAIN THAT YOUR SERVICE IS GETTING WORSE SINCE ROYAL MAIL MADE THESE CHANGES AND UPSET THE REAL POSTMAN AND WOMEN OF THESE LANDS....
