New Post Boxes Installed....but still empty
Tuesday, August 12, 2008 @ 4:35 PM
Well we spent the money and installed the gleaming new set of 60 engraved and tagged, lockable post-boxes outside the main gate, hopefully to quell the steady stream of daily complaints that the president was receiving. All because the postman doesnt deliver the post anymore, he just sticks it all in the letterbox for one of the other phases or puts it on the wall with a stone on top if we are lucky!!
So two days into the new system and the complaints are now about the postman still not using the new postboxes and what can we do about it???
It looks like this may have been a total mistake and whatever we do how do we overcome a lazy postman that just gets a handful of letters and throws them in a communities general direction............
Faxes, letters and emails are hitting the sorting office in La Cala on a daily basis to try and resolve the situation, but we think the Postman may be from a different planet and doesnt understand the principal of a letter and the fact that for the system to work it needs to go to the address on the front of the letter not just to the general area, where he believes it will then find its own way home!!!
We have yet to experience the leafletters who possibly still think our postboxes are behind closed doors, when they spot them thats when the rubbish will start to blow about and make the area untidy.
Our cleaner is now tasked with keeping the postboxes clean and tidy, which shouldnt be hard if they are not being used....the saga continues...we'll keep you all updated on how we get on after a weeks postal deliveries.
For all those owners on GGM2 please check your postbox inside the complex in the next few days to read the leaflet on how you can get your new postbox key. Our president will be bringing over with him personalised nametags for all the boxes next week so that we can keep the fronts uniform, clean and tidy. Please do not put a personal sticker on your postbox as it is not necessary with the engraved apartment number and personalised nametag.
