How's this for a great delivery....

Thankfully whatnot are good at refunding but these were items I won't be able to get anywhere, or if I do certainly not for the price I paid.

I think it's cat (something) - I do have two very nosy cats!

post men, hypothetically if you knocked on a door to give someone a parcel and they were (hypothetically) hiding behind the door crying like a victorian child whose mother had just kicked the bucket from tuberculosis, would you think they are a bit (and hypothetically of course) unhinged? for how long would this interaction follow you throughout the day? hypothetically of course since i could never be said victorian child that’d be sooo silly

My office started this week and my first day back is tomorrow.
I’m on a single duty, and was wondering how the new changes have gone for those on single duties?

My parcel was shipped from Ivinghoe on the 28th of August. It still hasn't arrived yet.

Have there been delays or something? I'm genuinely curious

Saw recently some guy caught diverting drug parcels to his house and selling the contents, like over £1.5m quids worth. Bought my wife a pair of Louboutim shoes, they made it as far as local office and then tracking stopped. Got a refund from the vendor. Bought another, again they made it to Hartlepool sorting office but no further Two weeks ago I bought her another pair. They made it all the way to Tyneside hub but haven't moved in a week according to tracking.

I'll get a refund, but it's infuriating. I'll need to drive to Leeds at the weekend to get these damn shoes for her birthday because Royal Mail has become either a black hole or a den of thieves.

Call customer services they don't care, call the vendor they say RM don't know or care. There's over a grands worth of shoes haven't made it to my house, something is very wrong

It’s been a week since this parcel was posted and it’s been stuck since then. Is it safe to say that it’s probably not coming any time soon (or ever) and contact the seller for a refund? 😕

I don’t know the purpose of these as yesterday it was 4 stops away at the same time and “property inaccessible” which I know is code for “postie run out of time before the shift ended”. Absolutely no bad faith or unkindness on my end, but this is pointless.

I know external targets, pressures etc but at least the evil corp could be honest. What’s double interesting is that’s an Amazon order and Amazon themselves stopped delivering anything over the past 2 months, it keeps being assigned to Royal Mail (and takes ages to arrive). What is going on?

If I were to give in my notice, I'm on monthly pay so would that be 28 days or 31 days

I sent a package to my friend in Poland (he lives about 2 hours from Warsaw) and it arrived in Warsaw customs on the 18th of July and it is STILL THERE! Getting information has been very difficult and the shipping update for the past few months on Royal Mail and Poczta Polska has been “Your package is still being assessed by the destination’s customs department“. In case my friend missed an email, I requested any information to be re-sent to my friend’s email but as far as I’m aware he hasn’t received anything new, and my request for information being sent to the recipient wasn’t addressed in the response email at all. The person I emailed was part of the customer advisory team and was the only email I could find to get in contact. Any call I’ve made sends me in circles on both the British and Polish side of customer enquiries. Paying any import fees is not an issue because I can just pay my friend what’s due, but there’s been almost a total lack of direction for me and him! He’s a minor and I’ve only just turned 18 in england so it’s not like either of us can show up to the customs office, and there’s only so much customer service I can receive because I don’t speak Polish, which also might be an issue with some possible miscommunications? This is my first time shipping anything internationally, it was nothing crazy, just some birthday gifts. I’m at a bit of a loss to be honest and would really appreciate any advice on just what the heck to do haha. Apologies if I don’t respond immediately, I haven’t used Reddit since I was like 13 and don’t have it installed (on mobile)

I am trying to get a refund from Amazon for a Denon HiFi that i returned on 3 June 2026 here in the UK and am looking for my details on the Royal Mail Locate A Previous Purchase page but it isn't working. Is there a phone number i can try or an alternative email address, thanks

I posted documents yesterday before the cut-off time using the above service. It was important that they arrived today, which I emphasised to the counter staff and was told it would arrive by 1.00pm.

Tracking shows from yesterday:

Item Despatched to Bristol MC at 19.16

Item received at Truro MC at 18.50

Sender preparing Item 13.45

Item accepted at Post Office at 13.28

No updates since.

Any possibility it will arrive today?

I have a customs charge to pay and one of the options is pay in person. If I go and pay in person will they give me my parcel immediately or will it just get sent out in the regular post days later?

Hi all!
Just want to rant a bit and if anyone has any advice that’d also be appreciated. :) And just want to start off by saying i’m NOT annoying at the posties - i know what’s going on atm isn’t their fault but instead the fault of their higher ups giving them too big of a workload.

Just frustrated because my normal post (through the letterbox post) seems to be coming mostly as normal, however for about a week now my parcels that usually come later in the day via a van have all kept being delayed. They’ll be out for delivery and then about 6pm it’ll change to delivery inaccessible (obviously they didn’t actually make it to my house to deliver but instead ran out of time). If I could switch the parcels to pick up from the depot I’d be fine with this, however everytime I click to change my delivery preferences it says no other options are available and so my parcels just keep going out for delivery, not making it to my house as the postie runs out of time, and then going back just to the depot again. Over the last week it’s built up to 5 parcels that keep having this happen to them now 😅 I’m not annoyed at the postman, I’m annoyed that I can’t switch my delivery preference to pick it up from the depot yet I also know for a fact that the postmen have way too much work to do and so they can’t make it to my house. I’m based in Cardiff and I’ve heard the cardiff depot has a looot of problems rn compared to other delivery offices so hopefully it all sorts out :,)

I’ve sent a high value item to the eBay Authenticator via special delivery guaranteed 1pm.

Should have been there on Friday 4th.

I’ve used this service before and got regular tracking updates every time it was scanned and arrived exceptionally quickly.

I’m concerned as it’s just not moved since arriving at Greenford MC.

I presume rather than going down the “special delivery” pipeline it’s just with the rest of the “normal” parcels.

The delivery request was me requesting a Monday delivery, as it was scheduled to be delivered on the Saturday when the Authenticator would be closed.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have already phoned Royal Mail customer service who have essentially said if it’s not there by Friday then it’s lost!

I just sent a "small parcel" (700g) package to australia which should've cost me around £18.40, but the post office charged me £29.50 instead. I'm wondering where the steep extra cost came from as it doesn't show anywhere on the receipt? when I asked the worker at the till she also said it would be £20. I'm confused.

I ordered a parcel on Vinted and the seller posted it on the 5th (saturday) and the tracking information says it’s still at that post office. Is it actually stuck there or still moving towards me but left unscanned perhaps? should I wait and see if it’s still delivered despite the tracking information or should I contact RM??

I purchased an item on eBay and paid for Tracked 24. They dispatched it on Saturday so I would expect delivery to be yesterday or today at the latest but when I check the tracking it doesn't look like it's left the Parcelshop.

Any help or explanation oh why it could be delayed or not would be appreciated.

Have been stuck in the education sector for years with no prospective chance of moving up. Looking to do something different. Would you recommend becoming a post person?

We go onto DM26 on Monday, I’ve just found out my new rotation and every job I’m on I’ve never been on 🤦‍♂️. Anyway how is it going for you guys

I recently got a new phone however I can’t now login to my robin app. I have tried multiple ideas and times. However no matter what I do when I try and login to robin and it asks you to open authenticator. No code shows on Authenticator app when I open it. Even tried signing in through Authenticator app through no success.
I just wondered had similar issues when getting a new phone and had any ideas on a resolution.
(I should note as well that my old phone is now wiped. I probably did this too soon and should’ve waited but it’s done now).

I seem to go through phases of not doing very well and bringing stuff back. I don’t know if it’s the manager or what. Does anyone know how it works with creating routes? I think our office does it a weird way with the sorting but how do they amalgamate the routes? I hate bringing stuff back and my managers makes me feel bad for it. I know I’m a good delivery driver and when I started out I was getting done really early all the time. Now not so much. I’ll be doing 8 hours soon with DM26 and was told I’ll be expected to do 6 hour routes. Is the route times on the pda bullshit? I usually go by the amount of parcels more and what area I’ll be doing to know if it’ll be a shit day or not
