Parcel Only Today

[scoobydo79]

Any one else? Our rounds are so big now the letters didn’t get a look in. Managers want us to take first class lol. Not a chance unless we leave tracked parcels

Yeah today and a couple of times last week, and if the rumours are true then Monday will prob be the same, I'm fed up of it, I hate just doing parcels all day

Makes no odds what you’re asked to do, changes to the deliver window made Xmas impossible in most places and nobody is going to deliver Xmas on goodwill…..not worth doing OT now when it means staying out way beyond daylight and definitely not worth OT on a Saturday or Sunday….u reap what u sew….once Royal Mail removed any chance of an early finish, that was the only attraction left in the job post privatisation…

We haven't done the whole duty to spec since mid October. First class fell by the wayside a fortnight ago and it's been packets only since then. One frame is attempted once a week contingent on massive parcel relief. It's beginning to look like a motorway pileup with a constant stream of 7½ tonners plowing into the flaming wreckage. Sisyphus at least managed to get the boulder all the way up the hill before it fell back down.

They're asking people to come in on Sunday to deliver the letters. Very few takers if any.

The trouble is I think the rounds are beyond repair now. I can’t see any way to catch back up with the letters.

Just packets today on my single duty, over 100 tracked. Didn’t bother taking first class out, wasn’t rushing to get back on time and I would have been struggling if I had. I never stay out on a Saturday, double mail Monday and a shed load of packets no doubt. Also wanting me to come in a lot earlier on sorting, nope.

My thoughts exactly

Didn't put a letter in the frame today so along with half Fridays mail Monday is going to be interesting. Will no doubt get the usual "do your best but make sure you take the tracked" from management

I think that with such an abysmal failing of letters, that the UCW should be given the mail side of things and the USO reduced radically so that it can be adhered to. Don't waste your money on 1st class stamps, because the service has become horrific.

and STILL we`re expected to faff around with D2Ds. Beggars belief.

you may all moan but by xmas eve everything will be clear like it always is every year.

Managed to take out complex with 8 blocks of flats today , it was there first lot of letters delivered since i last did them on 21/11. This isnt my usual round (was covering) and 120+ tracked fortherest of the walk

[Spinks182]

Royal Mail about to make a fortune from understaffing. They prepped for 10% extra packets but even that has been blown out of the water. Non mail delivery is just collateral.

Walks failing every day a big division 5 d2d next week staff leaving or going sick seems like every day we are struggling a lot off staff in there mid 50s wanting to leave hanging on the chance of vr which wont happen as we need to recruit start time finish time thats all we can do.

Not taken any letters for 4 days now and before that it was just half a frame per day. Just tie them upto the parcels. Apparently we have one job that’s not done anything but packets since the middle of November I’m not sure if that’s a 100% true but looking at the fitting it probably is.

Do you reckon that a few DOs could still be delivering Xmas cards at Easter?
