Dog House Blog, The Postman Always Rings Twice!


Molly The Wally Gets A Package From Brian The Cat!

During Christmas if you remember we had a run in with the post office with regards to a package (if you missed it you can find it here). Well guess what? Yep it has happened again. Yes the postman always rings twice in our house but always when we are out. We eventually received a package from the lovely Mantastic Mancat Brian who you can find over here. Look at the brilliant things Brian sent me.

Dear Sir/Madam

We seem to be experiencing problems regarding our post. A package was delivered to us on Monday the 18th of March but we were out so we missed it. I sent my servant assistant with what documentation I have to collect my package. The sorting office at Venn Street refused. They redelivered it on Thursday 21st but after waiting in all day I had to go out. Again we missed it as it arrived at 5.45pm. Saturday I sent my servant assistant to Venn Street again and once more we were refused. The package was delivered again on Monday 25th. I have to say this really is causing massive inconvenience to me. I have important things to do like catching squirrels. I do not understand what documentation you expect from me as I am a dog. Through my blog I have many international friends who sometimes send me mail and packages. This is not the first time we have had such problems. Christmas was a nightmare (not that we have anything against mares). I am particularly upset as you well know dogs and cats are not supposed to get on. This package is special to me for two reasons. One it is a book all about understanding animals which I hope my servant assistant will read. Education can never be overrated. Secondly it was sent by my good friend a cat from Simpsonville SC in US and no his name is not Homer it is Brian. I enclose what documentation I have. Please can you advise me as to what I am supposed to do to ensure I get my post from the Royal Mail? I bet the corgis don’t have such problems? Please be so kind as to respond as my servant assistant is at a loss as what to do. I will promise to refrain from biting and shredding the post until I get a reply from you.

Yours Sincerely Molly The Wally.
 
My Documentation.

Molly The Wally Passport!

We will let you know if we get a reply and again thank you Mantastic Mancat Brian who you can find over here.

Scotsmad here has just posted a brilliant idea in my comments. Please leave me a reference and I shall print them out and send them to customer services.

    We nearly had the same problem with a package to Roxy!!! Luckily, SHE knows the post office people so they let her have it. We don't have passports though.

    XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy

    Maybe we can write references for you.

    HERE HERE! Miz Molly, you tell 'em! The post is notorious for sending damaged goods to my place! I have had TWO European packages delivered to my doorstep mangled and destroyed!

    You are a bold and no-nonsense kinda gal! Pretty too, may I add. You look so darling in your styrofoam necklace! teehee

    That is just crazy! My postal delivery person knows me and always smiles a laughs when he hands me my boxes or letters. Then he drives away shaking his head. hahhha. But Brian sure got you some very cool things. I hope the book comes in handy.

    Oh Molly, we're so glad you FINALLY got your package. That's such a disgrace by the postal service.

    Your letter to them was very well written and hopefully shall capture their attention at once. If they do not respond back to you, just leave them some "presents" on their doorstep.

    Hugs,

    That's the coolest stuffed dragon I've ever seen. Love that its pink too! Brian sure was nice to send you all that stuff, especially the book that'll help your servant... err... assisstant better understand your needs (like treats all the time).

    We had the same problem with my moms iPhone 5. They tried delivering it three times during work hours. Of course nobody's home!! Now we have to drive across town to pick it up. I bet if someone invented a weekend mailing/delivery company, it would prosper!!

    That looks like a super great package!

    Molly- I am not receiving your notifications anymore :-( That's why I did not visit in such a long time. Well, also because of my human's busyness. I kept seeing you commenting on my bloggie - thank you! - but I did not see any notification from your bloggie. Now that my human is here to help, we checked my email and we have none from your bloggie in years (okay maybe in weeks). Nothing in the spam either. I tried subscribing again but it says I am already subscribed. Thought I would let you know. I hope I'm the only one!

    MOL Molly...thank goodness you have a picture ID now.
    Boy your postal service is a bit picky. Over here mail is delivered to the address...not the name on the parcel.
    Which is good since I get mail addressed to Queen Madi or Her Mayoress Madi. Hugs Madi your BFFF

    Not to worry, I've had the same problem as you guys did! Christmas was a ball. The mailman had to return a couple of times because of the mails that came in. The people living here didn't take the mail from him because no "Chooey" lived here... Well, DUH!! She lived on the 2nd floor!

    P.S. No more huggies and cheese from now on.

    Oh poor Molly... we had the same thing at christmas. The post-guy always forgets my name, for him I'm "THE BRAQUE" (phonetic: le brrrrrack). Maybe you should hang your documentation on your door in poster size?

    Oh, those posties....always mucking things up, never taking responsibility and then "going postal" when you point out their ineptitude. Good grief. I, thankfully, never have problems receiving mail. Though, when we go to the post office to mail packages to friends, the postie there thinks Ma is nuts because the return addy says "Oz the Terrier". Whatever. they should be happy we still send packages since email and internets have all but quashed snail mail.

    You know over here I deal with a surly mailman every day. He grunts and sweats and is generally not a very nice man. I don't understand it, postal jobs here are sought after yet some of the people who have them do nothing but complain. They keep raising the price of stamps yet their deliveries are slow and now they want to stop providing their services on Saturdays.

    Tsk tsk I say!

    Sorry, Molly, you have to be good to the postman or you'll never get presents anymore. Here in Brazil the postman is always the same guy and he's our friend too. He sees me from the window and pets Barum even when he barks.
