This is kinda random but this past month the post man has delivered the wrong mail to my house about 5-6 times.
I could understand if it was the wrong number or something simple like that but nope it's the wrong STREET!
They keep delivering the wrong street's mail to my place.
Well the post office will just hire anyone to deliver mail these days. people who might not even care. or don't organise the contents of their bag properly. If you know your route surely you should organise the letters by street.
Our post man is quite reliable. the only time we've ever got someone else's mail is when the letter has been buried in a bundle of envelopes meant for us.
It's usually nothing more than something meant for next door.
Guess our postman is better organised.

Yeah i could understand the odd letter being buried when there is lots.
And it wouldn't be so bad if it was a one off time, but nope it's happend quite a bit, I'm a little paranoid now incase some of my stuff/dads stuff has gone to someone else.
I liveo n a very busy street for walkers, and our postman simply hung one of my parcels on the front door handle where it was plain to see, rather than take it back to the depot.

So you mean the photos of me naked went to somebody else?
Too right it is. When it happened to me I spotted the post about 2/3 mins after the postman had been. I went out to the street on the off chance he was still about but he wasn't so I emailed a complaint to Royal Mail. It was exceedingly difficult to find out where to send the email to; they don't advertise their complaints department.
Another time when it happened I was in the kitchen when the postie chucked a 'Sorry you were out' card through the kitchen letter box. As I was still in my dressing gown I quickly told my Dad & he went chasing after the postie. Dad got the parcel and the potie got a chewed ear.
The postie even commented to my Dad that they're often receiving complaints about that kind of thing happening. You'd have thought the Jebends would have realised by now if they did a better job they'd receive less complaints.
Yeah, it seems like they do have a lot of problems with there staff doing a half arsed job, But well done to you and your dad for chasing him/them down! and then for giving them an ear full. Yeah a lot of complaints must be telling them something is going wrong.

you can make a complaint online if its happening a lot, we had a similar problem and i hate to complain but there is something on the PO website you can register these problems with.
I'm really grateful for the Royal Mail, have never had much issue with them. But it's like any large workforce, you're bound to get some incompetent employees.
All you need to do is let them know what's happening, it's probably something really simple causing it. Rather than stupidity.
Stop thinking about what I want, what he wants, what your parents want. What do you want?
I suspect that sometims the postman puts three different houses that are next to each other and gives it to one house when they're feeling lazy. But often they're really pretty good

i have only just got my delivery from new look, it got here on monday, but had been swallowed into the depths of the mail room!!! abandon hope all ye who enter ye olde mail room...eth
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
I've been getting mail for a couple of randomers for a couple of years now, should probably do something about that rather than just collecting/burning it.
My mailman has only rarely made a mistake delivering mail, and if it happens you just take it across the street to whomever it's addressed. And use it as an opportunity to be friendly to your neighbours. I'm really not upset at all by the oversight...
Also, mailmen should be like this guy. (They should be trained in combat)

Royal Mail have their faults, but I always find it pretty amazing that for about 46p I can send a letter to the other side of the country that will get there the next day.

thats fine usually and is what i have done in the past but when i was living in banbury they were giving me post that had the same house number but a street i had no idea where it was!
a couple of times i put it back in the post box and it still came back to me!! lol
I have no problems with my parcel man or the mail man. In fact I was stopped in the street by the parcel man the other day saying that he had a parcel for me and I could take it now, save going back to the sorting office.
