I was expecting my car insurance and road tax documentation last week but neither arrived me even though both the tax office and insurer insisted they had been posted to me the week before. In fact I hadn't received any post at all for the entire week.
So I called to the local post office in case there was a strike on or something. They said they didn't know of anything, but they gave me the number of the distribution office. I rang them and lo and behold they had all my post for the week. Apparently the usual postie was off sick and the new postie didn't have the code to get in to my apartment block.
Is this the norm? I would have thought that there is an obligation to deliver post and not just stock it up if someone is off sick? I called to the office and collected my own mail as I didn’t really enjoy driving around with out of date tax and insurance.
Anyone else here ever have that problem?
