Do you have problems with your post? If so, send an email and it’ll be sorted…

I have been having problems with my mail.

Post for someone else is being sent to my address and although the postcode stated on the mail is not the same as mine, it is delivered to me because the rest of the address is the same as mine.

For example, take the addreses 21 London Road, New York Road, LE7 QEH & 21 London Road, New York Road, LE7 OPR.

Although the postcode is different for each address, mails for both addresses are going to one address.

Well it’s all sorted now. Get it? Sorted? Sorting office, sorting of post…. ha ha ha 🙂

Anyway I sent an email to contactus@royalmail.com telling them about the issue and they have written back saying: –
