    Missing Post

    I know most of us order stuff through the Internet, some things come by standard mail. I am surprised that more things don't dissapear. I mean companies print their logo on the outside of their letters (eg Play.com) what does it take for a postie to go, ohh a DVD or a game or a cd?

    Thats why mostly I go for registered post.

    Because lots of things do go missing, but you think if all the play.com stuff went missing they wouldn't find out who the postie was very quickly.

    I won't go into the detail but there are ways and means the post office have of keeping their staff in line.

    Can't fault the postie's round our way they are brilliant, wev'e had letters delivered here without a street address and house number written on ( one turned up this morning )

    It's not just postie's to blame for stealing post though, Jon was talking to the Parcelline delivery man yesterday that delivered my new phone and he said that he had to leave a phone delivery once with a neighbour of a guy who'd ordered one and, the guy never recieved it, turns out that the neighbour runs the dodgy phone shop in Oswestry and he'd taken it there to sell

    Years ago Parcel Force delivered a parcel but a HP 4+ printer disappeared before it got to our office. At that time no one used to check how many parcels or what items were to be delivered so we signed on the dotted line

    They did sort it out in the end though.
