The square thing is known as a 2d scan and is a very basic form of tracking, Ask at your local post office when you send something for this service, it is the cheapest form of tracking and shouldnt be costing more than 1st class
Then there's signed for ( which most posties sign themselves when they get to the address)
Then there's tracked 24 and 48 which you can have with or without signature proof.
Then the most expensive option is special next day before 9am/1pm which we guard with our lives as we could get dismissed if they go missing/go wrong.
Thankyou for keeping a fellow biker in work. |
So if, say, a postie were to sign for the cake that I was having delivered and doesn't *actually* leave it, because you can't leave a cake on a front doorstep or behind a dustbin/garden wall ... what happens to it?
No card, no proof of attempted delivery, no idea my cake has even arrived, been and gone again...
Surely that can't be right. |
Thanks Leolion.
Hellkat have you ever had a postie do a signature for you? I never have, after thousands of parcels. Either someone from the household signs or it goes to the sorting office. Postie would be in deep trouble if he signed it himself and the parcel never got delivered ____________________ To shreds you say? Tss tss tss |

contact your local delivery office and ask for the proof of delivery, we are tracked every step now so if its been scanned and signed for hq can see who where and when it was scanned then investigate. |

Oooo dear, I see since I composed that post, a bit of mansplaining and overthinking has gone on
Not to worry.
I have no major complaints.

In training we are taught to knock on the door/and or ring the bell, then start to write the card out if the door is not opened or contact made via a window or shouting then we post the card and take the package back.
You can however contact your delivery office and make arrangements to have it redelivered on a day you know you will be in.
Posties tend to be on the same street everyday at roughly the same time as well. |
Very rarely have I been at home and missed a knock... maybe once a year.
At the office you can literally camp by the letter box, see the card pop through, bend down to pick it up, open the door.... and they've gone No attempt to knock let alone deliver! ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

I like both my posties, once a nice young blonde girl, and the other a bloke. He will leave anything in the panniers of my bike, if too big for the letterbox.
At present, he sticks it in the shed for me and leaves a note where it is. He even brings treats for the dogs. ____________________ Carbon closet tart! https://www.bikepics.com/members/r6stuk/02r6/
