Simi Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 Parcel men are lazy b@stards. This is somehting that has effected me on more than one occasion. Too lazy to knock on the door or ring the doorbell, but not too lazy to write out the card. Bizarre PARCEL FORCE!! PARRCEELL FORCCCEEEE!! :laugh:
Trav Le Bleu Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 Too lazy to knock on the door or ring the doorbell, but not too lazy to write out the card. Bizarre Bizarre indeed, because I personally HATE taking stuff back - means extra work. My walk is just round the corner from the delivery office and on Saturdays, when we can get out a little earlier than usual I swear that people just can't be bothered to get up when I knock at 8 in the morning when all they need do is walk round the corner in a few hours time.
Daggers Posted 14 February 2008 Author Posted 14 February 2008 have you ever complained? What do you reckon? I live to complain, it's my raison d'etre. I'm on my third official written complaint to Royal Mail with another coming up next week for the Ebay items. Plus, I've been onto the local MP to have a bitch at them. It was bad enough when we had rasta Posty who was a bit slow - but he was nice enough. Then he left and we get arsehole Posty and a load of agency/supply workers, none of whom give a flying toss. I've just had a credit card statement given to me that was posted five doors down this morning. willy puller. Sorry TleB - the only break I'm prepared to give Posty a painful one.

So long as it's not ALL posties (and in fairness - the thread title says postMAN, not MEN (or indeed WOMEN!)) some posties deserve a kick up the ass!

Alexikokopops Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 Our posty at home is ace. Never leaves stuff lying around or thrown over the fence and I have to walk 100 yards down the road to our village post office to pick it up if I'm not in. Lovely stuff. At Uni it's all done by staff employed by the Uni and they're grand as well. Mwahahahahaha.

Guest Posted 14 February 2008 Posted 14 February 2008 Too lazy to knock on the door or ring the doorbell, but not too lazy to write out the card. Bizarre Home Delivery really pissed me off; they left a card as I was at work, so I called to rearrange delivery at a mutually convenient time. They refused. They told me that they would deliver again the following day, I told them that there was no point as there was going to be nobody in. I came home to find a "We tried to deliver..." card. So I phoned them again. They still refused to deliver when there would be someone in, so I cancelled the order with Amazon, because I refused to go all the way to Nottingham to collect something I had paid to have delivered to my house. To be fair, Amazon credited my card really quickly, and I believe they've gone back to Royal Mail, but the funny thing was Home Delivery called to arrange to deliver my now cancelled order at a "mutually convenient" time. I have to drive to sodding Meridian Park during their miniscule window of opening hours. The queue there last week was MASSIVE At least there is a car park there; I have to go to Campbell Street.

It's horrible, because you just have to leave it next to the counter but to do that, you have to push past the queue. Oooh, the looks I get

Daggers Posted 15 February 2008 Author Posted 15 February 2008 Postie 'stole xmas gifts'Feb 15 2008 By Edward Chadwick: LINK A BIRMINGHAM postman has been suspended after his bosses launched a probe into missing Christmas presents. The 20-year-old worker at Great Barr's Royal Mail depot could face charges and the sack. It is understood that computer games, handheld computer game consoles and jewellery were in parcels which vanished towards the end of last year. One man told the Birmingham Mail he was offered a stolen Nintendo DS by the man in a pub before Christmas. "I heard him boasting that he had been taking all this stuff," said the man. "I didn't want anything to do with it. I think it's disgusting because at that time of year, they would have been some child's Christmas present." Police have not yet been involved because Royal Mail has its own powers of prosecution and could take the suspended postman to court. A Royal Mail spokesman said: "Following an internal investigation an employee at Royal Mail Great Barr delivery office was suspended on January 31. "As this is an ongoing investigation we are unable to give any further details at this time. "We take a zero tolerance policy to the rare incidents of dishonesty and always seek to prosecute those responsible. "The overwhelming majority of people who work within Royal Mail are professional, honest and provide the highest standards of service possible." *ahem* In today's Birmingham Mail
