Trial D2D

[whisperlite6]

Our office apparently was told this morning that next week we will be trialling a new delivery format for a none time sensitive D2D. If you knock with a parcel you give the customer the D2D. No knock no D2D, no answer no D2D. You get a stash for the whole week. Potentially Mr and Mrs Y will get one every day while Ms Z will get none at all.

So how will you know if they have already received one? And what happens to the leftovers?

[SpacePhoenix]

I wonder if this is tied in with the data from the packet sorting and flat sorting machines going into the DTS algorithm. Maybe they're going to have the system generate a list of which places you're to deliver the D2Ds to that day.

Got the SOP for this?

What happens on the fifth day when the customer tells you to stick the D2D where the sun doesn't shine, as it's not like we're handing over something most customers appreciate receiving?

Also what happens to the D2D you don't deliver in week 1, do they roll over to week 2, week 3 etc?

I wonder what the company who paid for the D2D's will think when they hear thst customer 1 had 5 of their leaflets but customers 2, 3, 4 etc none?

The system sounds like it is inefficient bordering on the incompetent.
I therefore fully expect it to be rolled out nationally before Christmas.

And what happens to the leftovers?

Seems like a recipe for waste. I'm sure the company can write it off by planting a tree somewhere and claiming Net Zero™ kudos.

Absolutely it's the RM way

I don't get it. Why would having to knock play any part in whether they receive an item of d2d that fits through a letterbox if you are attending the address anyway?

I think it should read attend rather than knock

What do you mean your office was apparently told?

It’s your own office

You either heard it told to you or you didn’t

Personally it sounds to me like a figment of your imagination

[Hitcher]

Businesses would have to be informed before this could change and none of them would want this so I call BS.

No knock no D2D, no answer no D2D.

So you take a parcel to a customer's doorstep, knock on, no answer. Instead of putting the D2D in your hand through the letterbox and possibly a card, you take the D2D back to the van...

So during the week all the people who have parcels, the doors you knock on, you hand them a D2D. So in theory a customer that receives parcels every day will receive a D2D every day or is it up to the postie to have a memory like an oracle and remember each door he delivers parcels to all week?

[Custard Jelly]

Just post the bloody d2d through the letterbox. I hate d2ds

They've got the data from the manual parcel scanning in MCs and from packet sorting machines in MCs and the superhubs. They probably have enough data from that to generate a list each day.
