'First class' post
On Monday 15th August, I took a birthday card which included a glass Robin to my local post office in Box, Wiltshire to be weighed and sent, first class, to my best friend. I put sellotape on the corners and sender details on the back. I did everything right, yet, it's her birthday today, 25th August and the card still hasn't arrived!
I know things go missing but I am really disappointed that her card and glass Robin haven't arrived, it was not expensive, £10, but these birds mean a lot to me and her, it was in memory of her husband who died 3 years ago at 50 years old. It's not much to expect a birthday card from her best friend who lives over 80 miles away.
Desired outcome: I want the card to be found and delivered to her today but that ain't gonna happen. So, an explanation as to how this has happened, and an apology.

Missing birthday cards with money inside.
2 birthday cards with £50 note in each ... addressed correctly from Forres sorting office to Edinburgh.
White envelopes.
Letters were handed to the postman at the gate of Little Rhynagoup, Dallas, IV36 2RZ because of the petrol shortage. Posting would have beena 15 mile round trip.
Handed onto the postman delivering at the gate the 2nd october 1st Class stamp to arrive for the 6th october. Letters accepted by postman.
Nine days have passed but no show.
Both addresses were identical as the cards are for twins.
Letter ... Moonpig supplier. Standard size.
Standard thickness of envelope and contents for 1st class stamp (red)
Addressed to;
31A Morningside Park.
Edinburgh.

I hear what every one is saying about money through the post and the amount of PO theft ... but the PO is a life long institution and should be trusted. !
Saturday 9th approached the sorting office in Forres to gain some insight but they could offer no explanation other than the address was wrong or the letters didn't carry the correct stamp !
Desired outcome: Where are they ?

Forced open envelope delivered to my door put threw letterbox
Received an empty envelope. Forced open.
3 keychain knives missing. I've already bought some in the past delivery fine. Wanted to buy 3 more. The price I noticed is printed on envelope. This is the first time ever I've had my mail opened products taken from it and an empty envelope delivered
GBP £17.12 printed on the envelope
I paid more for shipping than the cost of the products
Mail not delivered
I paid for 1st class signed for delivery on the 08/06/20. The item hasnt been delivered. I tried their track and trace system, which says 'We have your item at the Post office.' I've made several complaints, as regards of the 'lost/delayed' mail and have been offered a paltry £50 'goodwill gesture payment.'
The parcel contained irreplaceable photos, some dated back 90 years, and are a link to my past. I'd sent them to my publisher to use them as promotion for my up and coming autobiography.
Its a disgusting service, and an insult to my inteligence. I have to say, they dont give a damn as regards of customers.
Post
My daughter should of received three birthday cards by the 18/8 these cards were posted in Three different post boxes in Bristol all with a 1st class stamp on them. Luckily there was no mint or gift cards in them. But still worrying that they never reach us we have never had this problem before with post to our house. This makes me think that something has happened to them either at the sorting office or out for delivery!
Driving dangerous
Your driver nearly run me over KY65GKP
Driving dangerously, as I'm on the middle of the road driver so stupid was still driving towards me in speed. When I confronted him he did not say anything and drove on.
I want the drivers name and action you will take. This happened at 28.09.2018 at 2.25pm on Chrisp street poplar E14.
Why are you recruiting young careless drivers? I want some kind of action as this [censored] could have hit me and he wanted to do so deliberately!
to day 20/10/20 at 6.23/25 am i was travelling along the M42 between junction3 and 3A i was heading towards London.
a short distance after J3 the motorway splits the one inside lane the M42 and the other two lanes the M42/40 then after the chevron's the inside lane also becomes the M42 and the other two lanes are for the M40 towards oxford/London .
It was just after the chevrons that a van that was behind me pulled out to over take me as he came a long side he could see that there was a line of traffic in front of me with a gape of a bout 12 foot between me and the other vehicle i was travelling at 63/65mph and it was a good job that i was not travelling any faster as this fool driving one of your vehicle's registration KV18 WLC indicated twice and started to cut across in front of me pushing me into the inside lane of the M42 from the lane for the M40 i had to break pretty hard to stop a collision .
i flashed my lights and sounded the horn in disgust of his disgraceful driving i did not get to see him but he had a tattoo on his right forearm i saw it when he gave me the wanker sign.
as a driver he like us all are governed by the law to drive within the speed limits with due care and attention towards other road user's and to drive in accordance with the road traffic act 1988 part 1 principal road safety including the provision of under the offence of dangerous driving.
like us all i had alot of regard and respect for key worker's beside the nhs such as the posties binmen shopworker's but i'm sorry to say not for this absolute fool of a driver he is a danger to others.
i will give you 7days to reply and after that i will be in touch with head office .
thank you for your time and look forward to your reply.
yours .
Mr C.Chadwick
Your van number EC48 a fiat doblo 13 plate with one brake light trying to beat the traffic at the junction of the plaza wester hailes Edinburgh around 6pm today 08/08/19 shot up the right hand lane at the traffic lights as if turning right to beat the traffic then went through a red light in that lane then cut back over to the left lane heading up to the bypass a very common practice but not legal not what I would expect from Royal Mail employee.
Non delivery of birthday cards
On 2nd July I posted 3 birthday cards in Hemsworth West Yorkshire, one to Barnsley and two to Wakefield. The Barnsley one arrived but the Wakefield ones did not. Then on July 18th one card arrived which had been opened and taped back closed. The cards were going to Wrenthorpe, same house. I have photos of the card. This is obviously a case of looking for money, of which there was none.
Hi I posted a Birthday Card with £25 in it to my step son Graham Healy. 19 Ness Glen Rd.
Dalmellington, Ayr, KA6 7TP. 0n the 7th of August 2018. He has still not received it. It was posted within your shop at
Ivanhoe Rd, Paisley PA2 0JZ. I had put the card inside it's envelope, then into a brown A4 envelope, folded in half then sealed with a strip of sellotape.
yours sincerely

Dangerous driving
Came of my bike at junction of A3/Upper Richmond Road on 28 Nov 2017 at 9.30pm. The Royal Mail van did a U turn to come up the A3 as I was crossing with my bike. I fell off into the road. Thankfully a kind female pedestrian helped me off the road. The two black men in the Royal Mail van just sat and laughed at me. They didnt move to help or check I was ok. They simply drove off over my bike light and never looked back. I am sickened by their callousness. Vehicle reg I think was KN65XNF.

Dangerous driving
Was cycling home from work on 16/08/2013 at approximately 19:00 when I became aware of an erratic Royal Mail van. The driver was beeping his horn at another Royal Mail van, rapidly accelerating and decelerating and changing lanes. This was on Aldergate St near Barbican tube station. This alerted my attention to stay out of his way. He turned down...
Read full complaint and 4 commentsAggressive driver
Friday the 18th 7:00 - 7:15 am trying to make my way to work from Ash to bookham in the fork from the A31 to the A3 i emerge a bit late strait behind one of the royal mail super AGGRESSIVE driver with number plate MX58 HZG which nicely try to run me over with his truck after few minutes before sharply brake his truck to make me crash behind him, the reason why he was doing that i still asking myself, probable i was driving faster than him and he thought nobody can be faster tham me "this is my road" or something like that, finally when i safely overtook him he again use his fingers and gestures to demostrate how decen and nice was him to others road users. I worked in the Royal Mail for few years and i know is a rush job, but you have to leave your problems some where else not to bring them to work, as your office is your truck. I remember i left that job because of harrassment. Not very nice people to work with.

Lost post
Royal Mail has thieves working for them. I returned my husbands birthday present, an Armani watch, to the online store i bought it from, sent it recorded delivery and it got lost. I only received £40.00 from Royal Mail after sending two claims . I sell on ebay and have lost two small packets containing costume jewelry, nice jewelry, the buyer has not received them so I have had to refund them. A parcel containing boys clothes also was never received and again had to refund them. Strange how these things never turn up, I truly believe people that work for them are stealing items. They need to do a serious re-haul of their system or someone needs to go in undercover and do something! Royal Mail is awful, dont trust them!
I recently haven't been receiving my mail I haven't had mail in 3 days I'm having to constantly phone places to get my bills sent again and again don't know if there getting sent to the next street down as has a similar name were missing doctor appointment and dentist appointment because of it?
Postman opening parcels before delivery
Every parcel which has been delivered to me in the past few months has been open. I don't just mean that the wrapping or envelope was ripped, I mean torn open to see what was inside the package. My fear is if there is something in the parcel my postman wants or he takes a liking to the makeup I frequently get I won;t receive my parcel. What do I do?

noreen.perry@royalmail.com
Try this email address it goest to their head office. Dont bother ringing their CS its the worst.
Redirection service
paid £40.00 for a redirection service that was never in place, moved away setup redirection to alternate address, post still delivered to old address, told by monkey in customer services dept at royal mail i wont get a refund because it was my fault for taking out a redirection service for 12 months, WTF...
i pointed out to this person that i had paid for a service i hadn't received she stated she will make the delivery office aware but for a refund i needed to have called in a number of times to complain what the ### kind of response is that, Ive paid money for a service i haven't received therefore i would expect my money back and no manager or supervisor to speak to as theyve all gone home, nice royal mail what a pile of ### you really are ### the lot of you!
yes have highlighted that in numerous points in my email, unfortunately Noreen is out of office till may the 2nd but im sure she would have seen my lengthy email arrive so we'll see what happens, just want my money back is all, not asking much.
excellent thanks i will give it a try, point taken, was full of rage at the time .

Offensive postman
Recently we have a postman delivering mail to my property who constantly leave our front gate wide open. My wife has just had eye operations and bright light is painful. As I am working away from home my wife has to go and close the front gate. When asked on the 05.02.2010 to politly to close the gate the postman said "He is not payed to close gates" and left my property leaving the gate wide open. Previously my wife left a note on our front door asking the postman to close the gate which he ignored. I then contacted the Royal Mail via their website and explained the situation which after a number of days I got a reply saying they would try and rectify the matter. As you can imagine the attitude of this postman is upsetting to both my wife and myself yet the Royal Mail costomer service are either to slow in dealing with matter or dont care.
I don't think they care at all.
I am a Postman and your postie is wrong.
We are instructed on starting the job, and its included in an official computer program that makes rounds more efficient (well that's what we are told), that all gates and entrances should be left as we find them.
If its open when we get there then it should be left open. If its closed then we should close it on leaving the property - and its common courtesy as well.
To be honest going through Customer Services is probably the wrong way to go about rectifying it. My advice would to approach the Delivery Office Manager at the local office - telephone number and address is usually in yell.com or yellow pages. I would both write and call and it puts the onus on the manager to sort it.
If that does not work you could always go to Adam Crozier via email and things should move apace. I'd better not give you his email address but it is easy to find on the internet.
Thieves
By special delivery I sent an envelope to Barnsley South Yorkshire. Inside the envelope were Xmas cards for my nieces’ and nephews. The cards contained money. The envelope arrived covered in cellophane wrapping and when opened, some of the cards had been opened and the money had been removed. £60 in total had been stolen from the envelope then wrapped in cellophane.
This is the sickest thing a member of the Royal Mail could do. Stealing from children’s cards. I paid over £8 to ensure the envelope was delivered safely. It’s disgusting that Royal Mail employ THEIVES.
Its disgusting that this is happening. I was in the post office and over heard a customer say "£12.00 for a special delivery - does that guarentee the postmen wont steal the contents" - I wasnt shocked by this at all as I have heard lots of stories about the post theives.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I have had many goods sent to customers 'go missing' in the post. A vast percentage in fact. The only way now is to send them 'Special Delivery' at a cost of £5.05. Hence the huge queues at the sorting office! Cash cow for the Royal Mail!
i have been a victim of theft using royal mail. at the moment it is ruining my business, i send items to my customers in envelopes but for the last week the envelopes have been getting to my customers minus the contents and the side of the envelope ripped open, once i got on to this i wrapped the envelopes in tape thinking that would stop it and it has, but because they cant steal contents they have bent the envelope enough to snap the item inside rendering it scrap and i have to send another or give a refund. why is this sort of thing being allowed to happen, this could be eliminated i am sure because after all you pay good money for this service
Postal thieves
Received yet another envelope which had been slit along the top to see if it contained anything valuable - no, just a couple of old photos from my Mum, protected between cardboard. Happens nearly every time - if it looks like a greetings card, some b**tard in the Royal Mail has to see if there's something to steal. Last time I sent something similar my father received an empty, opened envelope on his birthday. Do they go out of their way to employ crooks? Thank God we can do most communication by email, so we only occasionally have to entrust anything to this useless bunch. And as for their tortuous complaints procedure... Customer service, my a*se.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I recently sent 3 love films discs (seperately) in the post. 1 in my regular post box, which has so far taken 4 days and seems to have been lost, and 2 that were posted at the post office, of these two 1 arrived at it's destination the next day, the other seems to have vanished as well, all are sent 1st class.
Royal Mail seems to lose, on average, 8 items of post to or from me every single year. It's an absolute joke.
90% of 1st class post is supposed to arrive next day, it seems more like 10% to me.
My parcel with my sons xmas present in was sent to me recorded delivery. I never receieved this item. After weeks of trying to find out how to claim and several emails later i finally handed in my claim form with all the relevent details they requested. I then get a letter to say there is no record of my recorded item and 6 first class stamps for my trouble.
I refused to accept this so i logged on to royal mail websites track and trace service, and low and behold there was a record of my item being delivered and a copy of the signature. I was absolutely furious as i live alone and i had not signed for the parcel, it was clearly not my signature. I sent several emails and then another letter to say that they did have record of my parcel being delivered afterall and appologised.
It is now april 2017 and my son is still without his xmas present. Im disgusted with the service i have received, nobody has even had the decentsy tyo speak to me and just send automated emails.
There last bit of advice was to contact the sender and they would have to claim. The whole experience has taken over my life, i have no faith in the postal system as i was told that basically the postman could dump all his parcels in the bin, and sign the slips hiself. The purpose of recorded delivery is to deliver to the address and obtain a signature. In my case this was not true.
you are thieves
royal mail a joke name there is nothing royal about them
they are thieves i have lost so many letters, bills, parcels, latest is a package costing me £50 . talk to rm customer services, and they say sender must start investigation no help from rm their answer is it only your word but i still lost £50
bunch of unhelpful thieves they must know the postman who was supposed to deliver my package
ref ff3337106077gb
so much mail goes missing, especially if it looks like a card with money or tokens. The complaints procedure is too long winded. This has happened to me so many times and I am sick of it. Something should be done.
