...this has happened a number of times over the last 12 months. It varies sometimes it is birthday cards/letters and parcels. The most recent was today with my wifes Open University stuff.
We have complained to our local delivery/sorting office but nothing seems to be happening and their attitude is a bit meh.
So who do we contact next?
It is only royal mail deliveries that are being opened BTW.

Start posting yourself cat poo in elaborately wrapped boxes with "Happy Birthday" all over them.
Daily Mail. They'd love that.
Escalate up to manager/area manager. The post office is supposed to take this stuff seriously; we were finding examples of mail arriving opened, and as the great majority of our post has cash, cheques, and credit-card details in, we had management and others coming in and checking mail that we pulled out as suspect.
It turned out to be a combination of our mail getting mixed up with mail going to other businesses, and being sent through their mail sorting and opening machines, (same happens with us, from time to time), and a bloke at the sorting office who was caught out opening mail and pilfering the contents, then taping up the envelope, which we do to accidental openings.
Worth pushing hard, it could be your mail is going to a business that opens mail by machine, and doesn't have humans sorting the post beforehand; I've been doing that for the last three years, and you'd be amazed at how often other people's mail comes in, some of it repeatedly for the same addressees, and gets repeatedly returned after being given back to the post office.
The record, I think, was a large, pink envelope from an Essex postmark addressed to someone in Mumbai, which came back seven times over the course of two weeks!
We'll be introducing machines to sort soon, and I've been moved back to other duties; I'm too expensive, apparently!
Cheers CountZ.

Classic stw right there 🙂
You need to send yourself one of those' glitter bomb' letters, should be a nice surprise for the perpetrator.
We had this after getting a new postie it stopped when I bumped into our old postie and asked her if I should report it . She already had suspicions about the guy and he was gone two weeks later . Good posties are worth every penny we got shortchanged when they sold it off
