Dear Mr Postman,

[Summerteeth]

We think you're awesome.

You bring us our mail at work with a cheery smile and wisecrack. We all love you in our office, even though we don't know your name.

In all weathers, you cheer us up about something-or-another and we look forward to the golden hour of 10.30 - 11.30 when you usually show up.

We don't like it when you're not breezing in the office (like this week, apparently due to some kind of summer slowdown and shift change and we don't get out mail until the afternoon. :( )

Anyway, we miss you, and here's lots of love to all you posties. Often bitched and moaned at, it's about time some of us customers told you how much we appreciate you because, if the news is to believed, your job is sometimes kinda sucky and the bureaucrats don't see you as people who provide a great service, just expenditure.

So yay for posties everywhere. :D

I love it when my customers come on the site.

As an ex Firms Delivery Postie

THANK YOU

[Summerteeth]

No problemo

Just goes to show how much of an impact you posties have, when your customers miss you so much they have to find, sign up and write an open letter on a Royal Mail forum!

Summerteeth thank you so very much for taking the time to post your message. It is greatly appreciated so once again my heart felt thanks.

[Summerteeth]

You're welcome! Over excited or not...

Actually, because I'm terribly nosey, and also have been trying to find out if we'll get our regular Mr Postman back (not that the others aren't as nice, mind), I've been reading some of the other sections of the forum and am actually quite shocked at how Royal Mail operates.

As someone who just stuffs post into a letterbox and swipes mail from a postie's hands, I had no idea how cut throat it had all become.

Our work mail was delivered at 2pm today, and we close at 5. Clearly not the postie's fault, and clearly not an ideal situation for business. I hope it gets sorted out soon and you all can get back to what you do best without having the endless squeeze to worry about.

Do you know what has happened to the usual one?

maybe on holiday?

I think he's just had his route changed? A colleague spotted him on his bike about town, and the new postie this week has been delivering from a van instead of on bike.

Maybe Mr Postman has asked for a change of route, scared off by his 7-strong stalker fan club who coo over him whenever he comes in!

You're welcome!

1.40pm delivery at work today (is there anything we can do about this? Don't want to cause trouble, but it is kinda late in the day to deal with contracts and stuff that come through the mail), and another new face. Nice face, but not our favourite face.

We think Mr Postman has gone forever. It's been over 2 weeks since we saw him (and the chap we thought was him turns out to be his lookey likey)

Yes, you can pay RM a couple of thousand pounds a year to get your mail delivered earlier... Timed deliveries. OR, you can ask to collect your mail from the delivery office. If you want an earlier collection than 8am (I think it used to be anyway), you can pay RM some more money.

Great eh?
