A Doncaster woman has said she is "disgusted" with the postal service after several of her Christmas cards arrived opened.

The woman, posting on a local Facebook group, claims that her Christmas cards had been opened before they were delivered and believes that it was by Royal Mail workers looking for cash.

She said: "Every Christmas card I have had delivered by post has been opened!! Disgusted with postal service."

In comments on her post, other locals said that they had experienced similar issues, with one person commenting: "They do it to check for cash."

The original poster referred to the dishonesty as "shocking" but said that, thankfully, none of her cards contained any money.


When YorkshireLive approached Royal Mail for a comment, a spokesperson said that the company takes a "zero policy" approach to dishonesty.

They said: "Royal Mail has a zero tolerance approach to any dishonesty and that stance is shared by the overwhelming majority of postmen and women, who are honest and hardworking and who do all they can to protect the mail and deliver it safely.


"Royal Mail customers should be confident in our services and systems, but where we are alerted to problems, either through our own stringent checks or from information supplied by our customers, we will investigate.

"If any customer has any queries or concerns about their mail, they should contact our customer service department on 08457 740 740 or via the website: www.royalmail.com."

And how many cards do people not seal properly I haven’t the time to put them all in bags

Especially when several days worth of post is crammed into slots designed to be emptied daily.

She should get er friends/family to write "card only" on the envelope.
We don't bother checking inside them (JOKE)

Like your going to throw away a £25000 a year on the off chance you might cadge a fiver if your lucks in

As above, loads are posted not properly sealed, that means they easily open as they pass through the pipeline, I really think some people think we transport their stuff through our network whilst carrying each item on a velvet cushion.

I doubt Royal mail even want the business, it must cost them a fortune to process Christmas cards.
