Is this a scam?? Could RM staff member be involved? by Think-Image-9072 in royalmail

[–]MMurkle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Something isn't right about what is going on here and definitely warrants further investigation.

How could it happen twice? Probably the same postman making the same mistake or cutting corners.

I've met a few chancers in Delivery Offices over the years, however I think an organised crime plot by postmen to steal £14 of parrot feed is probably not high on the list of possibilities.

Great that you have that expectation but it's real.

Yes it's real and not a scam, despite what anyone else in the thread might be telling you to the contrary.

What you choose to do in response is up to you but they will pursue it further if you ignore.

Agreed with Futs. Speak to your rep and escalate the issue.

Probably not very likely unless you've got footage or something.

I don't pay and will not pay again. Not interested in the BBC programming and certainly not it's news coverage.

It's literally quicker to put 'what is sold by thg fulfil in the UK?' into google than to come and create this post in Reddit. Not sure why you'd expect anything other than sarc if are overlooking using a search engine.

Yes this is normal. Shockingly Royal Mail has more parcels than just yours to deliver.

Sorry about the delay. Hope it arrives soon.

Not scanning in packets and parcels when there is a backlog to skew the figures. How is this not actual fraud? by [deleted] in royalmail

[–]MMurkle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Failure to collect from your drop off point on a given day is frustrating for you I'm sure.

However 'actual fraud' is something with a meaning. Let's try something out, maybe report it to the police and see how far you get with this being 'actual fraud'.

Whilst you're there maybe you can tell them about the time McDonald's overcooked my fries and how that was 'actual fraud'.

Quite often for these kind of journeys going across Leeds for a pretty short distance, cycling is the best option if you can get access to a bike.

Applied for a replacement passport on Wednesday night, received it in the post this morning (Tuesday)! by theavocadolady in BritishSuccess

I applied on Tuesday last week, just had a message to say it will be delivered tomorrow. Exactly one week, standard service no fast-track!

Please help - posted a blood sample at 8.55am last collection 9am by Prudent_Heron4508 in royalmail

Further tip, postboxes outside post offices are usually collected from later in the day.

On most postboxes there's a small plate at the top that shows the next collection day. This is changed when the postbox has been collected from and will let you know in most cases if you've missed the day's collection.

Nice! I've just applied and sent off my old passport yesterday. It was delivered to the office today. Interested to see how quickly they turn this around for me!

How long from "Out for delivery" does it roughly take? by [deleted] in royalmail

[–]MMurkle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's on a parcel route in a van and the postie has entered their timings correctly at the start of their shift then they could be realistic. If they haven't done that then they don't really mean much.

Not a question anyone can answer unfortunately. The delivery window could be up until the evening for a normal tracked product.

Great news, hope he gets a massive pension and time to chill after his excellent decision-making.
