ive knocked on doors, rang bells several times waited for 5 mins and moved on only to be called back 5 mins after that with "oy postie" its very annoying.
we deliver to about 1000 homes so when you get letters through the post from someone who lived there 9 years ago and complain to us often sending the letters back with abuse jotted all over the letter you must realise we just deliver we dont send.
mistakes do happen were only human and if you ring the number on the card we will re deliver it for you the next day free of charge even to the inconveinance of the postie who has already tried to deliver previously but you will be surprised how manty times we redeliver and theres still no answer.
im refering to the foot posties here not the vans drivers .but i feel all posties are being tared with the same brush here the vast majority of posties in accrington take pride in delivering all mail correctly and im one of them!

I can see your point OP but can you explain why, when there is a letter with insufficient postage on it (I don't know what was wrong with the old chaging rates)the postie puts a card through the door and definately doesn't knock. This has happenedto me on numerous occasions and its very annoying to say the least
