Thieving fucking bastard postal workers

xpost

I don't even list cash as an option for my Ebay auctions because of this happening but it seems whenever someone from Italy wins it they want to pay cash. From now on I'm going to put in big letters I DON'T TAKE CASH and just refuse to sell it to anyone who won't use Paypal or a money order.

And I told my grandma never to send me cash again either.

Still, BASTARDS.

xpost no I didn't see the C4 documentary because I have no telly. Because I can't afford one. Because thieving cunts steal my money.

Trying to find a postal problems and complaints thread, this was the best I could come up with at the moment.

I don't know about thieving, but I've definitely had post go AWOL lately. A postcard that my Mum sent weeks ago has never turned up and I'm getting suspicious/worried about a seemingly missing bank statement, a cheque I'm waiting on and a whole bunch of stuff bought off eBay and elsewhere, that's taking its sweet time to appear.

I also missed a medical appointment because the letter informing me of it didn't arrive until two days after the appointment, despite being posted well over a week before.

It's so frustrating, as it feels like there's nothing much I can really do, and the worst is wondering about all the stuff that I don't even know about that could of gone missing. Is it all sitting in some other flat down the road, thanks to an unobservant postman, or in some manky corner of a sorting office...?

Bah.

fuck em

i just throw my mail at people

It seems much more likely that this is a problem with your address considering the amount of mail missing. You could ask around your flats and see if if it has happened to anyone else? There's an online form you can fill in as well.

fuck the united states postal service imo

Yeah, I need to do a round of the other flats in the close.

I'm in the UK though deej - Royal Mail is the bone of contention here.

the one time I had a cheque sent to me was the one time a letter I got has gone missing (that I'm aware of)

fuck you London

I didn't complain, my flatmates dissuaded me, but shouldn't people complain in this situation? I mean surely this is worse in some areas than in others and whoever is doing it could be caught?

Where was it being sent from? i.e. how do you know it was your local postie? Or even local sorting office?

I admit I get a bit tired of all this as i have family members who are/were posties and as people who got up at some godawful hour, got paid crap all, and had to carry around a ridiculous heavy sack in all weathers it was a bit galling to be then called "thieving bastards" and understandably they were a bit defensive about it.

And if we're gonna start on postal services then surely to God, DHL have got to be first in the queue?

That's the thing, I don't know who it was, that's why I didn't report it in the end.

I don't think all posties are thieving by any means, just felt really annoyed and suspicious when a cheque is the one letter I knowingly don't receive. I mean in any case the person couldn't cash it, you have to be pretty shady to steal a cheque with any hope of doing so.

Why, do they not carry around heavy crap in big sacks for nowt?

And if we're gonna start on postal services then surely to God, DHL have got to be first in the queue?

DHL only get to be first in the queue of crap delivery services if you erase UPS from your mind.
