Answer 3

Thats not the truth,there would be an investigation if 10 packets went missing in this amount of time.If it is true then contact postwatch,but better is to ask to speak to the manager of the sorting office.Postal workers arn't corrupt,the men at the top of Royal Mail are though!

Answer 4

It may be due to the central sorting system where mail to be delivered localy is transported long distances to be sorted and then brought back again, so that its easier to be mislaid or lost.
Remember the days of local sorting? A letter posted early in the morning for local delivery would arrive in the second delivery the same day, and if it missed that it would arrive in the third delivery.
Also employers don't always check the past records of incoming employees. I know one security firm who recruited an ex-prisoner and it took them 2 months to discover his history. It wasn't me you comedians!

The post place of work has long undergone a protracted era of upheaval because it incorporates words with a international the place use of its centers are diminishing with the extensive use of email technologies ,and it faces opposition from inner maximum postal agencies too; many team have been made redundant and there have been evident organisational themes too. enable us to desire the smoothe useful provider i'm experiencing now will final; for many of my lifestyles it has offered an amazing provider.

Answer 6

I've found Royal Mail to be quite good at deliveries. If you're losing mail it's more likely that it's being stolen. You can try contacting Royal Mail and see what they say. Or just get a POBox.

Answer 7

I find a bad attitude by Royal Mail, they seem to be at war with their customers

The postwatch address is simple

Feeepost
Postwatch

Answer 8

It would appear that my postman can't read addresses, we have to take mail to neighbours houses, hence loads goes missing. Therefore I think the problem lies with incompetent postmen.

Answer 9

I've only had this happen once (to my knowledge) while the recent mail strikes were on.
