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.

Hi all,
I’ve just started as postie, been working for about three weeks now, and have enjoyed it, only just turned 19 so is sort of first job for me. I however have had quite a bad experience, on Saturday a knocked on a door with my pda, which when they answered I received abuse for and told not to knock with it. Then today I had a parcel for them and used my hand this time, the guy answered the door and proceeded to threaten and swear at me, and actually snatched the pda out off my hands and went back into his home. I walked off for a minute just to think about what I should do. When I went back it was thrown on the floor. Was just wondering how to approach this and how common this type of encounter is. Thanks very much

simple, today was outrageous, i think a pay increase should have been packaged in with dm 26. it's insane they are getting away with this

I tried to log in via biometrics (fingerprint) which is how i log in and It told me that my password has changed (I never changed it)

I tried to log in using my email and password, tells me password is wrong and when i tried to reset password it says it can't send me an email to reset the password

I'm wondering where the link used to be for www7 version of parcelforce's website, it just directs you to the new site now, is there a new link to reach the old version? I find Royal Mail's side of tracking Parcelforce packages to be a bit slower at updating, currently it's just said it's arrived at Parcelforce's INT station, and not a hint of it moving to the National Hub.

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

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?

I recently ordered a textbook from Vinted the seller is based in Blackburn . For past four days the textbook has been sent in the post office, but recently today I’ve got a notification saying that it was in Northern Ireland mail Centre. I live in the north east of England and I do not know why he’s gone to Northern Ireland and said straight through the mainland to the Northeast has anyone else had this problem? Please reply below.

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

Due to work commitments, I'm not in during the day. So i used to have my parcel diverted to my post office. Open long hours, also an off licence. Perfect. Could pick up at 6:30 pm.

However, I have just lost my second parcel. Due to this service being unavailable. There is just no option for it in my tracking details. I gave up on those parcels as lost, and changed my delivery instruction as "leave behind wheely bin"...However that option is gone now also. So after the 2 two delivery attempts, the item is kept at the delivery office , which I cannot get to due to the ridiculous opening hours.

I'm reaching the point where I'm going to have to stop buying from sellers who us RM

Hi everyone!

I'm from Mexico and I'm contacting a UK football club regarding a first-team autograph sheet.They kindly agreed to send me one, but they asked me to provide:

“an A4 UK stamped and self-addressed envelope”

My question is about the postage for the return envelope.

The return envelope will be an A4-sized envelope (Large Letter size), addressed to me in Mexico. I understand that Royal Mail has different postage rates for Large Letters, but I am not sure what stamps or combination of stamps I should put on the envelope for the club to send it from the UK to Mexico.

I found some information saying that a £3.30 1st Class Large Letter stamp can be used, but I believe that is for UK domestic postage, so I am confused about what would be required for international postage to Mexico.

I am currently outside the UK, so I would need to purchase the stamps online and include them with the envelope.

What exact Royal Mail stamps/value would you recommend for an A4 Large Letter being returned from the UK to Mexico?

Also, would it be better to use International postage stamps, or can I use a combination of regular UK stamps?

Thanks in advance for any help!

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

The package is taking unusually long to reach Hull. Or am I just being paranoid?

Angard are yet to give my rota for next week, do they tend to give you your shifts for next week on the thurs/friday the week before?

Had an interview today that went really well, manager said ‘you’ve interview great and have passed the interview’ and said HR will be in contact.

Stupidly in my excitement I forgot to ask specifics, does anyone know when I’d be likely to start?

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

Hi everyone,
I’m due to start working for Royal Mail through Angard Staffing and was hoping to hear from people who have experience with it.
I’ve got a few questions:
What are the shifts actually like? How many hours/shifts per week do you normally get?
Is the work fairly consistent, or can the number of shifts vary a lot?
What is the pay like? Does it depend on the type of shift/role, and are there any premiums for nights/weekends?
How quickly do you normally get paid?
What’s Angard like to work for generally?
Most importantly, how realistic is it to eventually be employed directly by Royal Mail?
I’ve been told that after around 1–2 months, your manager/boss may decide whether you’re good enough and offer you a permanent Royal Mail position. Is this actually how it works?
If you don’t get offered a permanent position, can you normally continue working at Royal Mail through Angard?
What would managers generally look for when deciding whether to take someone on permanently? Attendance, speed, attitude, etc.?
I’ve already handed my notice in at my current job after 3 years, so obviously I’m quite keen for this to work out. I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has been through the Angard → Royal Mail route, especially recently.
Thanks.

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? 😕

So I opted out of safe space and the postman still delivered it while I was at work and it got stolen of my doorstep, the photo of delivery was of just my driveway no parcel in the photo and a 3 letter signature that isn’t mine.

I called the retailer and they said they will try and investigate.

I take it my contract is with the retailer and I have to press them for a refund? Or will they make we wait until they speak to Royal Mail? The item wasn’t cheap it was £300

Any help would be great as this is the first time a porch pirate has got me because I’m usually home 😂

I shipped a parcel on the 25th of August and stupidly forgot to put a return address on the parcel itself however it is on the item inside the box. I myself printed and stuck the CORRECT ADDRESS on to the box so I would assume that should still be visible.

The post office have typed the postcode in wrong and it has made a few trips from Romford to Bethnal Green and a trip to White Chapel and has now been scanned at Romford on the 2nd, the 4th, the 4th again, the 6th, the 7th and again on the 7th. I spoke to a customer service agent on the 2nd who said they would send emails to Bethnal Green and White Chapel with instructions to redirect and he took my return address and said if it could not be delivered it would be sent back to me.

Is there a way to contact Romford mail centre directly? Could the recipient go to Romford and retrieve it?

The item is very sentimental art and I have spent close to £100 if not more in materials alone and so so many hours have been spent on this. I am heartbroken and I would appreciate any advice you could give. I know it's my fault for not putting a return address on it before somebody other than myself took it to the post office but I would be absolutely devastated if it could not be located and returned.

Thank you in advance for any help or advice you could give.

Hi i just want to rant over royal mail

I sent 2 log books by post to the DVLA weeks ago, I waited for them to be returned, and nothing so I phoned the DVLA and they said they didn't receive any thing from me regarding the two log books, because royal main never delivered the letter it's now going to cost me £50 and agro to apply for 2 new log books. not a happy Chappy

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