For what seems like an age we have not received any post, my sister sent me a Birthday card from UK which did not arrive, likewise we have not had any utility bills for a month or more.

We live on Urb Montegolf is anyone else having similar problems?

No experience in your area but I would suggest you check at your local Correos Office. Undelivered mail is held for 15 days before being sent to Madrid for return to sender or destruction, Take your passports to prove identity and they will check through a bundle for your street. If the problem persists ask for the address of the Correos Complaints Section, write a letter to them ( get neighbours to do the same ) and watch for an improvement in service, I was amazing how things changed for our Community when we did this.

As for your utility bills, I would suggest you register on the websites for your Water and Electric Companies to use their Virtual Office where you can monitor your accounts and go paperless for bills in order that you do not miss them, also set up Direct Debits to have them paid on time.

Hi we haven’t had any bills for months went to Iberdrola offices and they say given to post but they aren’t delivering so nothing they can do🤷🏼‍♀️So we changed to online accounts but obviously won’t help with your birthday card☹️

I was thinking that the post person was either off sick or on holiday and there is no cover?.

Oh well at least I know it's not just us.

Hi

I am in Villamartin area too, Calle Tomas Breton and every summer we have the same problem.

I might try popping down with my passport to see if I can collect the post.

We are in Lomas de Cabo Roig and we have had no post for 5 months! We went to the Correos with our passports and they said there was nothing there, even though we are waiting for a bank card and a letter from Social Security.

would the collection office for Correos be the one in the parade of shops opposite la zenia boulevard's open air car park a few doors from Sabadell bank? (we are in Valencias urb in Villamartin).

many thanks
