Everything is Tracked

[SpacePhoenix]

Way more packets are coming in tracked now. Used to be a dozen or two a side now it’s around 80. If they are serious about clearing tracked and first class on alternate days they’ll have to start prioritising t24s as there are too many tracked 48s in the pipe.

They can't as when the T48s arrive at a DO they are due for delivery that day. The difference is built into when they are dispatched from the outward MC to the inward MC. T24 and 1C is dispatched the same day it arrives at the outward MC, T48 and 2C is dispatched the next day. Chances are that big firms have some sort of automated system in place to check that all the T24 and T48 items they dispatch are delivered on time, they'll be claiming for any that aren't.

For the dispatch of Tracked that's either flats or letters, they are now starting to be dispatched in trays, with purple tray labels. There's that many Tracked letters and flats coming through now.

We get told to bring back tracked 48 parcels over first class letters. Scan them as delivery not attempted at the end of the shift.

Last time we had to many I said to the manager "why should we scan them as ready for delivery when we know we won't end up delivering them, as the customer might wait in all day for them them at 3:30pm get a message saying delivery not attempted." He just said he's been told that's how we have to do it.

Ask for that in writing, lets see if they will.

Haha I reckon you could safely say if that happened I'd give you my house

The SMAH(?) soap packets are now starting to come through as Tracked packets, that probably just leaves the dog/cat flea packets as the only regular packets which aren't Tracked plus the odd 1st and 2nd class packet a customer has been brave enough (or should that be daft enough?) to send non Tracked. It's hardly worth sorting them out now between Tracked and non Tracked as you may as well just deliver every packet you receive.

Won't be long before anything that's not from abroad or stamped will be Tracked.

Tracked will soon be the new 1st Class

[Mr Rush]

Tracked will soon be the new 1st Class

And the NHS letters 1½th Class. And the First Class the new 2nd Class. Everything else Mailsort.

Foreign items via the locker already count as Tracked anyway.

The more tracked, the less letters we have to deliver. It’s great

yup, why walk 10 miles when you can walk 8 miles and get the same wage.

Or walk a couple of loops, 2 miles and drive 20 miles dropping 1st class letters and tracked parcels off, before taking a load of T48’s back

[Thommo44]

But I agree with the original comment

They only started going via lockers because DOs kept failing to scan them.

Very little Mailsort these days, just about all DSA. Not all DSA is 2C anymore as some DSA is now 1C, I've seen a couple of firms use the new 1C DSA service.

Yes I think so, items anyone actually wants to receive will be, bank cards, phone SIM cards etc, no idea if they want to or can ditch the shite, d2ds DSA crap etc that's what's separating them from being a 'parcel company' - I know mail is dropping off but d2ds are definitely increasing at my office, I'm wondering if customers are just blasting everyone with their stuff as opposed to targeted mail due to the cost being less ?

Why fork out when they're getting a free ride off the back of shaming the company, rightly, for poor service? Converting everything over to Tracked isn't a magical guarantee of delivery - we've got people on here talking about rolling over their T48s like Christmas never ended.

es I think so, items anyone actually wants to receive will be, bank cards, phone SIM cards etc

We've already had SIM cards come through the locker as Tracked. I thought it was a stupid Tesco flyer at first. There's more Tracked coming through the locker now than Specials.

There must be an issue with the DOs either failing to scan them or failing to deliver them on time as Tracked shouldn't be going via the lockers.
