Parcelforce/Royal Mail is a feckin' joke

oh yeah but this would all be so much worse if you were in Tasmania, or Chad or Poland.

you wouldn't even get mail, you'd just get some mud pushed through the door, twice a year.

Yep, in Poland they used to thief everything what wasn't registered and sign for. The nice thing was, that all the parcels were signed for and they'd never leave your priceless Ebay find between the bin and the recycling box :-)
I'm in East London and have some cunts at the sorting office. They've stolen three of my company cheque books already and tried to draw £16 grand from my business account.

These cunts are really pissing me off now.

Go back to work you bastards !

I feel your pain, Zed.

four parcels missing and my girlfriends two b'day presents not arrived, despite ordering well in advance :(

that'll learn me.

Well, I'm sure the presents will turn up on the day of her birthday, but you already went out the day before to buy the same thing from a shop. Also, I hope this happens to James Martin.

Its her birthday today. She is slightly disappointed and I am mildly irritated.

Well, let me put it this way: Consider the wedding cancelled!

This things been going on for ages now, it's like the strike that never ends.

Thats another yet more complex issue Lenni! :s

Don't worry Ved Zed, I've cheered her up already.

Cheers Brett.

i don't like to moan but these cockstands have really annoyed me this week.

went to use my credit card last week, card expired. have to use other account which puts big strain on finances. ring card company. they say new card sent in august. not arrived i say. hold on i'll check i say. thorough check over two days. not arrived. ring up yesterday, order new card (which cancels missing one). get home last night to find missing card arrived. postmarked 4th august, arrived 15th september. i can't us eit however because it's now been cancelled.

now i have to go on holiday with a: no card for one account and b: no money in my current account because i was forced to use the other one, all because royal fail suck.

I've also been late for work the last three days in a row due to an ongoing attempt to recover a package for my girlfriend. eventually got it this morning and had to get the tube carrying heavy package, stressed, annoyed and late to find carriage full of over-excited posties in from out of town for the day (on their way to a demo?).

took all of my self control not to "accidentally" kick a few of them on the shins as i was getting on.

Has the Parcelforce web tracking service ever worked for anyone? Serious question as I'm beginning to suspect that it is just a dummy website that always returns "Tracking # not found"...

Parcelforce did this to my frame. I paid outside of eBay, with paypal 'gift' *and *the seller hadn't insured the package so I thought I was fucked...

The seller was really helpful though and it looks like Parcelforce are going to pay for the dent/crack in the ST to be professionally repaired by someone of my choice and a professional respray. :D

:S

i got that same frame too... not cool.

MASSIVE EDIT:
basically- I need to send something fairly urgently, but parcelfarce are being cunts about a pickup-
yesterday they were early when I was out and now I'm here, they're late- and so I might not have the time to post today- as fairly busy afternoon.
Also I leave the country for a week early Saturday- so can't send it Saturday.

Would anyone going to HH tomorrow like to make a quick fiver?
Basically take this parcel to a Post Office on Tuesday- send it 1st recorded and keep the change from a tenner?

Cunts. Lazy, retarded, ignorant, lying fucking useless cunts.

I'm sure the postie for my area can't read english. I either get letters for the right house number but the wrong street, or for the right street but the wrong house.
It's getting to be a street tradition to knock on each other's doors and swap letters around.
At least I'm getting to know my neighbours, which I never have before.
Loads of post gets mysteriously opened though, anything which feels a bit bulky inside the envelope. I tried posting myself letters with random newspaper clippings and stuff inside, and they all eventually get to me with a corner ripped open, just enough to see what's inside.
I complained to the Kentish Town depot about it, and they said it was probably their new sorting machine doing it.
Hmm, Right.

Anything remotely valuable or important gets delivered to work now, and a nice postroom bloke brings it to my desk.

Fucking hell.

wheels delivered today... despite intructions not to leave with my thieving scum neighbour (whose front door is in tatters from being kicked in by the po-po so many times and keeps nicking mail after signing for it in his own fucking name) and a big sign on my door saying 'DO NOT LEAVE PARCELS WITH NEIGHBOUR'

where be my wheels?

Yes. Have to go pound on violent man's door with best rage face to confront the thieving fucker. Luckily his door is so fucked when I banged on it it flew open and surprised him tip-toeing down the hall so I knew he was in... he then tried to close it in my face before I barged it open again and he kindly agreed to fucking get the parcel for me... Ripped wide open but wheels intact. Who knows, maybe he just doesn't like Royce hubs. Cunt!

Royal Mail are cunts and as for him... What a fucking arsehole. I want to move ;(

^ that's really bad.

I sent an expensive sprung Brooks by Special Delivery in the summer - for some reason it was sent to the depot, then lost, and the tracking info has been saying 'xxxx is being returned to sender' since August. I filed a lost mail form with all the receipts etc - after a month, I got a stock letter back saying 'we need more time to investigate'. I've phoned them a number of times but they just keep telling me to wait - if the saddle hasn't arrived after three months I don't think it's going to arrive now, though! I will have to write to Postcomm and see if they can do anything.

Amusingly I once lived in a house where one of the neighbours had exactly the same name as one of my housemates - we used to get dirty letters from his girlfriend detailing how they were going to 'have sex in Jenny' (I can only assume this was her car) and how her 'bum and bramble' felt lonely without him.

Currently waiting on a frame, I am from Somerset (England)

Dont understand how even though its on the other side of the world, it has been collected from a customer? I HATE PARCELFORCE.

Wouldn't that Perth as in Perthshire, in Scotland?

Just googled it, they have a depot there.
That gives me some piece of mind, I highly doubt it will arrive until Monday now, if it arrives at all...
