Not delivered here - Post Office rules

Have you seen one of these? I got one today. If you did get one, and didn't move quickly enough to grab the postman, I'm afraid you'll need to go to Mount Pleasant to get your parcel (I've been though this in the past, and it's not pleasant at all).

The reason given for not delivering this particular item is that 'It's too large'.  It was not too large.  I tested it once I'd retrieved it, and it slid through the letter box with no problem at all.

It seems there is some kind of wrangle going on between the Post Office and the estate which centres around parcels which are small enough to go through letter boxes, but which are being left with the CPA.

The funny thing is that the official line from the Chairman & Chief Executive Office of the Post Office (see letter below) is exactly what we would hope for, i.e. try to deliver the item through the letter box and if it won't fit then leave it with the CPA.

I spoke to the postman this morning and he says that he's been told he must *not* leave things with the CPAs.  Someone has their wires crossed here, and that means some of us will be visiting Mount Pleasant.
