Yes A Rant!

I buy a lot of things online, yes many of it bike stuff, but also other shizzle that is completley unrelated.

I understand the whole "You where not in, so i posted a red card" system, fair enough... This doesn't bother me, as my post office is only a 12min walk from my flat....
BUT the fact our post man wont even post a RED CARD ennoyes me!!

After purchasing an item, and after waiting 2 weeks! I contact sellers constently asking for my item, or if it has been dispatched, they will reply "yes, 2 weeks ago" or "we dispatched it on the X of Xember"...

But I've had no 'Sorry you wern't in' card to tell me this...

Sooo, i go to the post office and enquire about my parcelle...

"Yes, we have your parcelle... But you can't have it, You don't have a red card, I can re-deliver it for you"

2 days later... my item still hasnt come

and "Sorry sir you dont have a red card, you can't have YOUR item, we we can re-deliver for you"

This is a common cycle where I live, sometimes an item that should only take 2-3 days takes 4 weeks to come, and me having to go backwards and forwards to the sorters office, so they can 'RE-DELIVER' my item... untill my bleeding red card comes so i can collect it!

GRRRRR

Thanks for reading... Sorry for my poor grammer.

Ask the post office for proof that they've tried to deliver it as you've never received any. If you can take photo ID which has your address on it, that should be fine.

If they can't provide proof, or even if they do. Tell them to attach a red card to the box there and then, with the current date on it and the blokes signature saying why it's being attached, then if it doesn't get posted you can question why and at least threaten them a bit.

Where are my stabilisers?

Complain - Your postman is clearly a lazy dickhead!

At one of my old houses, my postie would attempt delivery, leave a card... Then it'd never turn up anywhere. Happened for months in a row. My god that was painful to sort out

I do take my ID, a bill and a copy of the invoice of the sale, the woman wudnt except it as valid...

It is because I live in a flat, only a few postmen seem to have accsess, I just don't see why the postman that doesent have access, cant pass the red card to the one that does for the next day... or just attempted something...


Its realy grinding my gears...

I caught our postie sticking something through the letter box that wouldn't bend.....no it was a crank.....so i iopened the door to him and found him just about to rip off the recorded delivery sticker to say that i'd received it. He even said he never asks for recorded delivery signatures as it saves him time. double grrrr

I know, some of them are lazy C U Next Tuesdays...
It gets on my nurves, and the people at the post office are so rude about it, and make out it's your falt!
PLUS there is no-one, yes NO-ONE who you can complain to... I kept asking for a manager, but they always say "there isnt one present", I checkdout Royal Mail Website for complaints... Nothing... I phoned them to complain and ended up talking to a computer...

It's probably splottboy stealing all your bike stuffs and sex toys.

Speaking of which, where has Splottboy gone? Is he too busy with other peoples bike stuff and sex toys to post anymore?

At the moment I'm living in student accomodation, sometimes postie will leave parcels on the pool table in reception in the morning, sometimes he won't, sometimes he leaves a card, once he hasn't... some days we get 2 deliveries it seems, some days we don't... its even more confusing than the work i'm trying to do at the moment

Nuisance thing is I can see the post office depot out the window, its 30m away on the street our block backs onto, but it takes bloody 15 mins to get there and then another 15 back, that is fecking annoying, I'm considering buying a rope ladder that I can lower out the window to try and solve my problem.

save your money and buy a honey badger instead.

it could live inside the pool table, be a good conversation starter when someone reaches in for the triangle to start a new game and gets their arm ripped off.

I'll see what they've got going at the college, not sure if i'll be able to get a honey badger but I'm sure they've got some monkeys

Better than my experience with the post. My room at my parnts house used to be literally next to the front door, and had a window looking onto the path. Heard the bell ring one day, opened up, saw the postman, said i'll be there in one second, walked to open the door and he was at the end of the path walking off.

He didn't think I actually lived there, and made me get my passport to prove I was related to the people who lived there, my parents. Total twunts they are.
