The magazines and catalogues are getting bulkier all the time: Saga mags, National Trust mags, Screwfix catalogues and those annoying Studio Christmas catalogues that never seem to stop coming. I've a few delivery points on my residential walk that have almost a bundle to themselves on some days.
Have to agree with Mrlovepants too. it's usually a lot cheaper to subscribe to a magazine than get them individually from the shop.

They don't even fit in the frames

Have to reverse each letter so I am aware I have a 'package' for the house in my 'package bag'

Drivers should take that!! I take our schools and Docs as well.
totaly agree i was even told by an ex manager who now is on a 25hr duty that any bundle with more than 30 items must be put on the van!!! :left: :shhhhh

It is not about how many letter's their is it is about the weight!. postmen/women should use their discretion wisley if they have any for if they do not then they will not have any. Most post driver's at one time have been post men/women it's about helping each other out and that's not "FELXIBILITY" it is common sense!.
