The last package I received had been opened! The contents were still inside it when it arrived in my letterbox but, it had blatantly been ripped open for someone to have a nosey, no chance the rip had been caused by careless handling.

maybe they had to check it for bombs or something? i doubt they just fancied a peek.
I've had a package with a massive dildo in it opened before, but they at least had the decency to put it in a plastic bag with a note.
maybe it was cats..?
i dunno, i'd hate to have someone look thorugh my parcel!
Our postman leaves packages in random places, but then doesn't bother to put one of the red cards through your door, so days later you find one in the back garden that's practially papier mache cause it's been raining so hard. Then he broke our letterbox shoving something through. Oh, and they randomly decide whether they want to redirect our redirected post or not.
Just :mad:
This ^^ is wrong.
This is the way it should be.
'My postman broke my box by shoving his big package in it.'
Royal Mail are just fucking twats. I'd say every week we get a letter for someone else with teh same house number (but different road). Parcels just left lying by the door. Recorded/registered letters just put through my slot.
i ALWAYS send everything special delivery now because i don't trust that it will get to its destination otherwise.
i got really annoyed at my postman yesterday for putting my parcel behind my wheelie bin where someone could EASILY have seen it and taken it.
also i feel i should stand up for RM as my boyfs a postman :thumb: and would never go through someones mail!
The only problem i've had is i've sent a pair of shoes from an online sale, next day delivery, it didnt get to the person a week later, but i was sending the shoes to a very remote part of scotland....
However I will say that their phone system is shit. I tried ringing couple of weeks ago to ask about a package that had gone missing (turns out it was the sellera fault not Royal Mail), and all i got was answer phone message saying if i left my details they would call back and i never did.
Might start taking blah's advice and always send stuff Special Delivery.
I was out and my hubby rang to tell me, I was fuming and went straight home and marched it down to the post office and gave them a piece of my mind. All they could do was blame it on the postman for not checking it properly. It was lucky my hubby was in as I was gonna be out all day so would have missed the post for that day and then it wouldn't have gone for another 2 days as it was a saturday. so much for sending something a) first class and b) recorded delivery, it had been posted through my letterbox as normal post. :mad:
Then they started bringing letters that were for different streets but same number, and then some with no relation at all, like they were doing it as a joke.
One morning I confronted the mailman and since then it's rare for that to happen. Last time it did, I put the envelope where he'd see it next day and wrote on it (trying to be as sarcastic as possible) "Delivered to the wrong address; the correct one is written here --->".
Our previous post lady was brilliant, so I know they exist! But in my experience they're not the majority.
The postman at my parents' refuses to enter their property anymore because of their 'vicious dog', and they've had to put an american style postbox at the gate. This is their dog:
:chin:
I didn't quite like the "P.S. Are you seeing someone at the mo?
oh matt
I'm terrified!
What do you british folk have for the mailmen to put the mail in?
He also once rescued my twin sisters when they were about 2 and decided that running out of the front door into the snow completely naked was a good idea. Mr Postie recognised them, caught them and brought them back. He's a star
