I cannot believe how shit Royal Mail are
-I get a slip saying they tried to deliver a parcel. and a 2nd delivery attempt will be made.
-My flatmates ill and in all the next day, no parcel.
-I organise for it to be sent to my local post office (£1.50 fee) as depot is 30 min ride away .
-I go to pick it up 4 days after the requested date, miserable bitch says it's not there.
-I go to depot, nice guy says it's not there, but it was sent a week after I asked.
-I go back to Post office, they have it, now 3.5 weeks in. I refuse to pay £1.50, horrible fat woman gives me an earful just saying "fee payable! fee payable! what do I do?" I ask manager (nice guy, but jobsworth) to just send it back to the depot and I'll pick it up myself. He says OK, so then I say "Well if you're sending it to SE16 why not just send it to me round the corner?". Doesn't work.
-I goto depot today, same guy as before: "It's been returned to sender"
fucking bollocks.
