I just finished a three-page epic complaint letter to the head of the Royal Mail Docklands delivery office, owing to the fact that the gimps he employs can’t do anything right. In summary:

- They lost 2 special deliveries in as many months worth several hundred quid
- Postmen never buzz to see if anyone’s in before leaving a “sorry, you were out” card (especially if you’ve taken a day off because you knew there was mail coming…)
- Put recorded items in your mailbox without obtaining a signature
- If they do leave a card, the phone number of it doesn’t work and the identifying details of the delivery are omitted, rendering the mail near impossible to trace
- Etc.

I don’t have much luck with mail or couriers.

the good - Fedex (though hideously expensive), Special Mail Services
the bad - Initial City Link, Parcel Force, DHL
the ugly - Royal Mail
