When you post a parcel the house number and postcode is logged into the computer

If drivers/posties are turning up without parcels i fully believe they are being told to to card these addresses when they are unable to deliver next day on time

It wouldn't be hard to stick a list of deliveries logged for his area in his bag and just card them

Dont buy the too lazy to try knocking, hes done 99% of the job, why bother driving there and walking up the path to card if you have the parcel, the only reason you'd do this is if you didnt have it

Oh if only....as I have posted on these forums previously, my Son and I watched the post van pull up in front of the house, the driver wrote a card before leaving the van and just popped it through the letterbox. He was a very curious shade of pale when we shot out of the front door and confronted him about it. The parcel was on the van and he was able to amend the entry on his HHT when he gave it to us.
 
Definitely put it up on youtube, it could well go viral and make some of them think twice before doing it!

I'm struggling to get it off my DVR, it's a 649MB file (it saves in 1 hour blocks), i don't have anything apart from my phone with that much memory and the DVR just doesn't reckognise it.

I can try my Girlfriends Nikon D7000 Camera, but she's at work for another 5 hours & i don't know how to use all the settings.

He should have the parcel on his van, there is no valid excuse for him not to. :confused:

I don't know!

But on this thread there are people reporting cards without the guy having the parcel,

So either he has seen the parcel and not brought it, he has a manifest with it on scheduled for delivery but the parcel isn't there yet, or hes just an idiot.

If delivery isn't attempted your entitled to compensation/refund and the post office would be even more broke than it is already

If he cards you without the parcel and gets away with it a delivery was attempted, and its now up to you to collect it yourself

Royal mail dont let us see tracking as parcels travel through hubs only that a delivery was attempted or it was delivered so its very easy for them to cook the books

+1 with details of the local delivery depot etc. Kick up a fuss, seen it done to US couriers a lot as there's a lot more CCTV cameras in the states.

When I lived in Glasgow our postie rarely had our parcels with him, we'd almost always have to collect. I'm not entirely sure why though but they always left a card, even if you answered the door after buzzing them in (we lived in ground floor flats with a door entry systems) you'd get handed a card and told "oh it wouldn't fit in my bag" type excuses.

However, were you to have read my post, you would see that it fits with what I said about the driver simply being too lazy to knock on he door, having the packet in his van. Not some kind of crazy conspiracy theory where they pretend to have the parcel to make their statistics look better. :)
 
Pity a first post showing a vid of a postal guy not even doing the basic job would have been great.

As is hope you track down the package on YOUR time.

:o

You don't have a single USB flash drive? :eek:
OK I have a spare, I will post it to......actually, nevermind.
 
Just spoke to Royal Fail and apparently I can't even claim any delivery costs back, the sender would have to do it but personally I think it would be pretty unfair of me to hassle the sender when they did everything correct at their end so I aint even going there. It gets better because the guy in customer services said it should actually have arrived yesterday. :rolleyes:

No drivers from ANY company drive to your house and put a card through the door without knocking, it is completely pointless.

lol dailymail lol

It happens all the time. people on this forum talk about it, people on other forums talk about it.

It's common and it happens for many reasons. One reason the bigger, contracted, companies do it is space in van and SLA (Service Level Agreements).

If they only have one van doing a certain route and it can't fit any more parcels then the company has a conundrum. They have committed to xyz company or individuals that any deliveries will be next day or by a certain date but they can't fit it in the van.

To avoid missing this date and losing their lucrative contract with a big retailer or having an individual claim money back they do just this. They pop the card the letterbox.

This counts as an attempted delivery and doesn't affect the SLA levels. Double bonus when the customer comes to collect from the depot.

Well put and it not in the realms of a conspiracy. It's just what the likes of the royal mail have to do to get anywhere near making a profit

Giving out refunds is bad for business. There is another thread going where they have just missed a 1pm deadline. Not by much but missed. If everyone claimed a refund as they are entitled to do the royal mail would cease to exist pretty quickly
