So, here is an interesting pack of lies from Royal Mail.

I can 100% guarantee no one in this house cancelled the delivery or asked for it to be delayed.
Been in all day.

I have no redelivery date or any information other than this
Anyone had this? What's going on?
Thanks

Just to add, it happened to me before Christmas, not over COVID. Assume they cant cope in busy times and rather than hold up their hands they lie.

I've not had this but did have a number of occasions when I got a note through to say they'd tried to deliver but there was no answer. This was when I was in and would definitely have heard.

One day I was close to the door and had heard the footsteps. I opened the door as he was carefully sliding a note through the door, without lifting the flap, so that it wouldn't make a noise. He was very embarrassed and admitted he had too many parcels that day so he didn't have mine with him.

It never happened again.

Oh yes. I'm familiar with this one. 🙄

@Ernieshere

I thought parcel deliveries had stopped on Saturdays now?

Sorry if its not an actual parcel!

I think they've stopped the Saturday service altogether for post and parcels, but it maybe just in our area.

The UK post office is make massive job cuts to try and keep the service viable. I feel very sorry how it's come to that, the Post Office is still a very valued service, I use it all the time ( I send letter, cards and parcels all over the place!)
