Getting hacked off with Royal Mail now....

[Mouthfulofquiz]

I would just fucking love them to deliver the post to the right house for ONCE!
I complain to the Royal Mail approximately every 6 weeks. I've put a larger number on my door and larger numbers on my front gate.
I've had documentation from solicitors, hospital appointments and payslips etc etc all delivered to the flat up the road. The guy brings stuff down when he can but he does all sorts of shifts and its not up to him to deliver my bloody mail.
I know it's a confusingly numbered street but its bloody been here for 30 years.

Would I be unreasonable to paint a4 sized numbers on my garden wall to get them to deliver it properly. Or just sit in wait for the postman on Monday? Or phone Royal Mail and tear them a new one AGAIN?

Anyone got experience of this and how did you sort it??

Is there a regular postman? Can you lie in wait and try charming him into submission? Ranting him into submission might work equally well.

Must be bloody annoying for you. But I think going direct to the source rather than Royal Mail itself might be more effective.

name your house?

we have three number 2's on the street - my house has a name to avoid confusion

How strange - us too!
Flat and houses all named 2, 2 - then something else, or flats numbered 2. So annoying!
Thinking of renaming it 'the House that gets no Post'.

can u see me...
:)

House name def the way to go

Hahahahah - unfortunately not!! That would have been very cool indeed!!

don't joke... someone we knew was chatting on a forum and mentioned to the person they were chatting to that they lived in a village near someplace, the person responded, funny so do I, they named the village, the street and house numbers and turned out that if they both looked out of their back window they could wave to each other they ended up good friends.

Post in my area of London has been shit for years now. Residents have formed groups promising to redeliver wrongly received mail as it happens so often.

Given up complaining, makes no difference. I get the wrong mail at least twice a week. Sometimes it's for next door, sometimes we get post for a completely different street.

HA! thats amazing

Nancy66, I didn't realise things had gotten so bad in Belgravia

I'm genuinely going to stroll around my house now looking to see if anyone is waving!!! I'm in a black top and jeans - looking a bit haphazard from a 4:30am start (toddler!)
