we've been aware of problems with our post for a while now - stuff taking much longer than usual to get here, but this is beyond a joke.
we've had no post of any description for a week now. not even junk mail. highly unusual for us, believe me. a number of things that we know have been sent weeks ago have failed to turn up, including something i bought off ebay (seller has proof of postage), my re-registration certificate for work (if i dont have this technically i'm breaking the law doing my job), several bank statements, cake samples from our wedding cake maker, a copy of the book of remembrance entry for our baby boy who we lost 6 months ago (he was stillborn :( ). that last one has really upset me.
to top it all off, we've had post come through for someone living at same house number but different street several times. each time i give it back to postman and tell him its not ours. have just found our where this street is so will knock on tomoro n ask if they got our stuff.
rang post office yesterday, and they say allow 3 weeks for stuff to turn up. we have. then they tell me we have to get the senders to fill in forms stating when they sent the stuff. well thats all good for those people we know sent things but how the friggin hell do we get people to fill in forms if we dont know who has sent stuff COS WE HAVENT RECEIVED IT?????? then she says, well it is a new estate (been here 3 yr, not that new). i'm sorry, but if the pizza delivery man can find us no problem, why the frigg does the post office seem to have bother??
is it me or are they totally shit?
