Postman Folding Letters

[maklabouhlel]

Does your postman fold that could easily fit through the letter box without folding? Most of the time it doesn't bother me but I recently received some important documents which now have permanent creases.

Ask him/her not to fold them?

I did, many times.

Time for plan B. Find where he lives and poo through his letterbox.

But no folding.

Our letter box has pretty stiff draft excluding bits. I doubt it's possible to get a letter through in less than half an hour without folding it and pushing it through with the fold. It's possible that this technique becomes automatic for postfolk, even if some letterboxes don't require it.

 

[VincentHanna]

Yeah, having posted things through my own very stiff letter box with draft excluding bit, I can see why our postie folds letters

But no folding.

Only curling...

Forgive my ignorance, but shouldn't the sender have sent the documents in one of those stiff cardboard envelopes and a 'do not bend sticker' if it mattered?

 

[Feek]

No, my postman does not delivery folded letter post.

Postpeople are not allowed to put their fingers through letterboxes in case their fingers are eaten by dogs (this happens very regularly) if they get injured in this way then they could be found at fault. If your documents have been damaged by folding then complain to the sender who may not have put them in a "do not bend" envelope.

Yeah cardboard backed, do not bend envelope seems logical if they are that important.

Re-order them? Pay extra for posting

Or


Deal with it.

 

[Semple]

Agreeing with the last few posts as well.

Most things i've ordered that have been important documents have come in a do not bend envelope.

 

[Randomface74]

Yeah posty here does it by default coz the letterboxes have stiff brushes.

Buy cheap buy twice

Geez some live boring lives

 

[dymetrie]

No, my postman does not delivery folded letter post.

What about when it's snowing?

 

[singularity]

Geez some live boring lives

I do, boring is brilliant

 

[Malevolence]

Yes they do. What irks me more though is the times they deliver, yesterday the post was pushed through just before 19:00. Whatever happened to post being delivered in the morning?

Surely having 'Do not bend' on the letter just makes them want to do it more?
Our regular postie doesn't bend letters, in fact he's brilliant. When he's off and they send someone else the letters are always folded in half.
