A fed up resident has resorted to putting a sign on her front door to lambast her postman because she keeps receiving mail for a neighbouring street.

Jacqueline Porter, 36, of Long Acre in Clayton Brook, near Preston, has been getting post for a property which is the same number but on Seven Acres.

She said: “I’ve had problems recently with receiving mail for the same number house as mine but the wrong road.

“It’s got to the point where I’ve had to put a notice on my door telling the postman which road he’s on.”

And this week Jacqueline found unopened mail under bushes near her flat.

They were for three addresses on her road.

Call centre worker Jacqueline said problems with the service had been on and off for the past five years.

She said: “I’ve complained to Royal Mail several times . . . only for it all to continue.

“I just want to have a normal service and not receive somebody else’s post, I’m fed up of doing their job for them and taking it round.”

Royal Mail spokesman Nick Martens said: “We are always concerned to hear of any complaints regarding our services and have an extremely fair and efficient process for handling these.”

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

we,ve all made THAT mistake before. one duty in our office has several streets similarly named,,,broadwater,,,broadoak,,,broadlea,,,,broadway,,,broadfarm. piss easy to get them mixed up. it would be easy to avoid misdeliveries in this estate if the builders had numbered the houses from 1- 205, but no. its 1-41 in each street.

As for the numbers mix up, it only takes one house to have no number on the door to put you out of sync. Or you go to the same houses day in day out that your cat trainers :left: actually take you to that house whether there is mail or not and you just post it. Anyway, enough about me :Very Happy

scorned, vilified , and now proper lambasted !

that must be how it feels to be a Dom !


Seriously. the longer the round gets ,the more time pressure there is,
the more mistakes we will make.
Its a fundamental truth
and customer image will inevitably suffer.
I'm a postman-and i know where you live.....
