I’m curious to know where in Hyde people’s mail is disappearing…
We’ve slowly come to the conclusion that it isn’t just bad luck that about 10% of our parcels or important letters never arrive!

I’m currently waiting for 3 parcels which should have been here over a week ago.

I know of half a dozen letters which were definitely posted weeks or months ago and have never arrived.

I just wonder if it’s a coincidence that our postie doesn’t seem like the sharpest tool in the box…

Who do I complain to? The sorting office don’t answer their phone and the official Royal Mail response is “to get in touch with the sender and get them to fill in a lost post form”

Very Helpful!

I have put in many complaints to Royal Mail about Hyde sorting office my post and parcels either go to neighbours or don\’t arrive at all. I have actually had mail for another Road in Hyde not even close to where I live. The parcel I am waiting for at the moment was posted 1st Feb it is now 8 Feb not arrived, I have had confirmation from the sender of the day that it went he has told me they usually take 3 days max as I paid for 1st class. No card has come through my door. I now end up going out of my way and getting all parcels anything other than bills delivered to my mums house, it is a bus ride away but atleast she gets her mail. The sorting office at Hyde is absolutely crap – If there was an award for the worst one I am sure they would get it every year.

I got my second parcel yesterday. 22 days transit time for a first class item.

It gets better: We had two cards (one Xmas and one new year) delivered today that were mailed in the USA. One is postmarked 11 December and one 22 December. They arrived January 27 – together.

We mail packages to the US regularly (not from the Hyde area I might add). 5-7 days would be typical. What’s the betting the month or so black hole was at Hyde?

@Fedup, our local Postie is not too bad. Conversation is prohibited due to his ipod, but he always kindly leaves me a supply of red elastic bands scattered all over my driveway. I never need to buy elastic bands now. Now if he could only manage a morning delivery………

Sorry fellas I think i’ve beaten you all, i’ve been waiting since 22nd December!(and still waiting!)
There’s never any hope of getting anyone to answer the phone at the sorting office and you might as well be talking to the wall than our local postman/boy! Don’t think he could tell me his name let alone whats happened to my package!

Update: I received one parcel on the 16th. It had been mailed on the 3rd. A mere 13 days for a 1st class item.

The one mailed on the 4th is still unaccounted for.

*sigh*
