cant fault our postman always says good morning and delivers round about the same time every day .if he has a parcel for us and we are not in he will give it to a paticular neighbour that he knows we trust.so dont tar them all the same.

Was it a card from a courier? Courier services work differently from post offices.



no it was royal mail

I think you need to understand what happens when you're not in for a parcel delivery. The package goes back to chester and is re-distributed and then held at the local sorting office usually for a week and then kicked back to the sender or sent to belfast for holding if the sender's address can't be determined.

If your local delivery office is working the new van share system your packages get returned by your postman to his D.O. When he finishes so they don't need to go back to Chester for 48 hrs & should be ready to be collected the next day.

It was my postman that left the note and I rang and rearranged delivery for a couple of days later and the postman brought it back. I didn't go anywhere to pick it up

Not postmen per se I was considering, just the sudden variation in delivery times. If the post arrives at 4.00 pm I would rather receive it by 8.00 am. I happily remember a much, much better service than that which we have now.

A box full of our coastguard kit was returned to Dublin for some reason. Seems a bit silly really as there's plenty of sorting offices around. Then it went on to get 'lost' and they had no idea where abouts it was.
