nope never. we have 1 hero who gets the 739 cards that the driver has attempted and finds them back at the D.O and cycles back out to his delivery on his own time once hes finished to deliver them lol SADDO

When I finish I have to walk back past 50% of my walk to get to station to go home - so yes, everyone gets a second chance ...

... and PO is between end of walk and station as well - so all left overs get pouched off ...

... and supermarket is between PO and station - so the family gets fed as well ...

... and trains are every hour - so the pub across the road from the station often gets a visit too

Nope.

Hello - West Yorkshire = hills, no way am I walking back up a hill on the off chance.

Wazz - Obviously you are from an office with no P & L revision. Because if you were you would'nt have chance to finish your delivery let alone the parcels.

There is a certain irony in the fact that a lot of the public don't think we give them a first chance,never mind a second...
I have in the past but not often and very unlikely now.

P & L. Do u mean by 2 people van share. Park in one place. One person does one side and other person does other side ?
If that's what u mean by p & l. I done those rounds a few times. And I can tell u I don't have time for "739 packets/specials second chance"

The round I am doing right now which I love which is a single person van

On a good day I can finsh around 12pm-1pm
On a busy heavy day I finsh around 1pm-3pm

We're on park & loop and to re-visit an address for 'second chance' would very likely mean either, i) the driver is wasting time which could be better spent helping their partner, or ii) two posties going to the address which is obviously not very efficient/effective use of our time. That said, we've done it to help out customers needing specials urgently.

I do find it strange that some customers think we would rather write a 739 out than deliver a parcel?

Its because back in the day before vans and park n loop, some posties I imagine did to avoid carrying them in their bag

I think that common sense would prevail here. If you have something that has been 739'd and you are driving past that house on your way back to the office and see that the car is now there (and you are still within duty time of course) then why not? BUT, ALWAYS, ALWAYS get the 739 card back!

I agree that you should always try to get the 739 back in the situation you've described (and I've done it myself), but when
you're tasked with a re-delivery do you ask for the 739 back also?
