    Used to be! Best bet is to complain to your local delivery office and they should hopefully tell your postie to be a bit more careful in future. Can find it through here if you don't know it: http://www.royalmail.com/delivery-and-collection-office-finder

    Happened to us that DUS. Told they had sorting frames and the guy delivering our mail got confused with the system.
    Next time it happened I went to the local sorting office and complained. That's been closed so as nearest one to me is 6 miles
    away now I would take it up with the postie first if I were you.

    Other remedies I tried was to deliver the letters to the right addresses myself. On another occasion I wrote in bold
    black fibre tip " this letter is for 18 ******** Road. Can it pleased be delivered there and not to 58."
    Regarding junk mail I now write on the envelope " Unsolicited junk mail- please return to sender" and post it back.
    It's amazing how many firms have now taken me off their mailing lists.
    I now get few nuisance calls cos Ive gone ex- directory. If one does slip the net and they try to flog me anything I say
    " before we go any further you need to know that I am an undischarged bankrupt." Again been surprised at how quickly they have put the phone down on me.

    they a
    they are not on a zero hour contract now, I have been a postman for the last 10 years. The only ones that have a zero hour contract are temps they take on at Christmas and any other high peak times.

    1st off, try to catch your posty and tell him, if not call the d/o and they'll flag it up, could be a different guy everyday?
    if it's anything like our office the staff are on their knees with the excess mail, 5-6hrs walking a day and had all weathers lately,
    so many cuts been made, i've just lost my duty and it either gets taken in bits by loads of others forced/bullied to work over or the management deliver it.
    my post came at 5-30pm last saturday by a guy who should be on holiday!

    Already on a half decent screw I've already looked thinking about a career change when I get to my 40s.
