Ridiculous customer complaints.

[alloria]

We have all had them, complaints so surreal that you start to question the sanity of the human race in general.

So lets hear about all the crazy and ridiculous complaints you and your colleagues have had over the years.

I will go first.

A collogue of mine received a complaint today. The customer phoned up saying that she gets lots of mail every day, but as he had been delivering her mail half an hour late for the past few days, that means that he had obviously spent more time in the sorting office, and that she should be getting more mail as a result! We all had a good laugh about that one.

I've had "Why is my mail wet?" when it's pissing down outside.

[Slysi16]

I havn't had any mail for 3 days manager showed me the complaint how stupid

[Lounge Lizard]

"You'll wake the dead" when I knock the door loud enough to be heard.

Iv had a woman chase me down the rd waving a d2d at me swearing blind that its a misdelivery

[tonyd]

How about "hey postie this isn't for me"
Check the letter and its addressed 'to the occupier'.
They then look at you as if your the dumb one

[Toby Tyke]

"I don't want this parcel today they said it would be delivered tomorrow"

[Groundpounder]

Do you think you could leave the door on it's hinges next time you knock.

A lady on my round complained about getting loads of "unaddressed mail" often. Now, to annoy her more, I give her one d2d on Monday, one on Tuesday, etc, instead of them all on the same day.

i just laughed :-D

Anyone giving me the " I don't see why I should be the one to have to actually do something about removing myself from the d2d deliveries list outside of placing a badly written and poorly spelled cardboard sign written in all capital letters with lots of underlining and exclamation marks on my front door" gets as many different d2d ad I can get from the pile of excess households.

Had some old dear griefing me today because I always rang her buzzer to gain access to the sheltered accommodation plus I keep delivering post that isn't for her. If she went out like the people at the numbers preceding hers and got no mail I wouldn't expect her to lumber the whole 6 feet to buzz me in.

Had a customer complain about not receiving recordeds, even though he signed for them and the signatures are on the website.

The old 'I'm not getting any mail' one as well, because they haven't had any for a few days.

Then the most common one, 'I was in but the postman never knocked' - I get 2 or 3 of these a year, and never ever leave a 739 without knocking so complete b*llocks.

I can't remember the last time I had a legitimate complaint, it's at least a couple of years ago. The ones I do get are all crap like the above.

I had a line manager come round to me the other day explaining that Mrs Smith didn't want any of the mail for Mr Smith because he had moved in with the neighbour.

I explained to him that we don't do an unofficial mail filtering system and if Mr Smith wanted his mail to go anywhere else he would have to deal with it officially, I asked if he had explained this to her on the phone, No he says, customer services had told her it would be OK so you'll have to do it...so far I haven't.
I await the next complaint.

[janitor]

Tell him if he feels this is correct to put it in writing.

I've had "Why is my mail wet?" when it's pissing down outside.

Just tell them " I got my hands wet when i opened your gate, you keep your gate dry and i'll keep your mail dry"
