Did royal mail ever screwed up your delivery before??

One of my recorded package was signed by someone with different name and surname from me :eek:

And I suspect my 2 other packages were sent to the wrong address as well.

FFS.
 
As far as I know the person signing for it doesn't have to be the person it is addressed to. In my house we are always signing for stuff for neighbours and there's never been a problem.
 
How can the postman let someone with different name and surname sign for my package???

And I thought the transport system in UK was bad enough :mad: :mad:

Edit: If they let my neighbours sign for it, then they usually leave a red card. This is absolutely unacceptable. 3 packages to wrong address??? In the same week as well.
 
I sold something on Fleabay last week.... took the package to the Post Office and sent it 1st Class Recorded..... the muppet behind the counter put the 1st Class Recorded labels and postage on the wrong sides and the package came back to me two days later !! not only that but nobody had to sign for it..... pathetic.....
 
I received some photographic filters (£40 worth) this morning via RMRD.

I don't remember signing for them, but they had been, and the peel off label had been removed!

I guess the postie signed for it himself. :confused:
 
Can't say that's ever happened to me mate, unlucky :( and it's not just once, 3 times wth is wrong with Royal Mail...
 
The dude that has the cheek to sign my postage has surname barnett or something. Like, seriously, wrong address and he still can sign for it, what an idiot. Same goes for the postman who can't even read addresses correctly.

1 muppet + 1 muppet = end of world.
 
My Postman sometimes signs for things for us.

But I live in rurual location so its kinda like Postman Pat where you can really trust the postman.

I would be extremely annoyed if I couldn't sign for a package for my boyfriend, or vice versa. There is nothing wrong with allowing someone at the address the package is being sent to, to sign for it. If the postman genuinely believed he had the right address, he has done nothing wrong.

What annoys me is when my postman signs for things himself. Kind of defeats the point of "signed for" delivery, and he has only ever done it for letters to people who no longer live here/don't quite know what their address is.

Blimey, what was this urgent delivery? A heart and lung transplant? Calm down and ring them. RM can be quite good at sorting out mistakes that do inevitably happen from time to time. Whilst you're complaining that RM have misdelivered and allowed some 'muppet' to sign for your package, whoever you purchased the item off could have quite simply written the wrong address or anything from a selection of different factors.

I agree but I still think the person in question should have to leave some form of I.D with you so that the Royal Mail at least know they have the right address.

Otherwise we could end up with parcels god knows where. ;)

The thing is, I can only track online. I did give them a call earlier today after I saw some weird dude's signature as proof of delivery. I'm contacting the seller now to make a claim.

And we are talking about 3 packages in the same week here. Doubt it is as simple as wrong address.
 
royal mail left 2 parcels hidden in my front garden. no note telling me where they were. i found them a week later, so wet the packaging was falling off. luckily everything still worked. needless to say i was angry

Happend to me countless times. You also have to wrap the parcel up really well so it survived the final fling over the garden fence in my area.
