[chooch]

re Acca Dacca's 'Picture This' scenario - the 'To Me, To You' good neighbourly bit..
This Always, but Always, used to go Tits-Up with the Customer (or Customers other-half) coming into the Enquiry Office with one, or both!, P739s!!
and then going away empty-handed because the Item had already been taken in..! FFS! You Couldn't Make It Up!!
.. and then I'd get called into the Office and basically told not to try so hard. ..
.. So now I Don't.

Rationing 739's even If you deliver to next door you still have to leave a card with the intended recipient.

thickest people on the planet RM management

[edwardo]

The only time I will leave it with a neighbour is when they come out and offer to take it, a lot of people just don`t want you knocking their door to take something that doesn`t belong to them.
pathetic out of touch management

exactly well said

[martin the green]

but if you do that a few times on your delivery you will not have time to complete and will have to cut off Moya

Just wait till the blue ones!

Last year they gave us 20 blue 739's each

[old-postie]

i worked for a week at a neighboring office during the summer

There were hundreds of unused blue cards there

Management sound as though they are just a hop, skip, and a jump away from encouraging us to doorstep packets/parcels.

We had a sign put up for less than a day in our office asking us to check sheds and outhouses before 739-ing items, and to me, technically, that is door stepping.

I'll be honest, I previously would check garages, but that all stopped after I set off an alarm one time after some new people had moved into the house

The sign wasn't up long so I'm guessing they realised it was bad advice.

We've had so much mail on that we've been chucking every single large, small and tracked packet out. In fact today there's been 20+ cages of packets, 5 cages of tracked and 7 walks not gone out. Complete and utter failure. Great service Royal Mail!

Today we just delivered anything that would go through a letter box, signed for and specials, whizzed round just like the good old days. If we had attempted to deliver everything, today would have been the first day in 3 years of P&L that we wouldn't have been able to get it all in the van. Massive backlog of undelivered packets/parcels at finishing time. If they don't get on top of it in the next few days, we'll be facing meltdown.

Delivery to neighbour- sod that. If the person doesn't answer im writing out a 739 , if no one likes that, tough s**t .

Well I could not agree more but will it ever change back too how it was?

Should do, would be the sensible thing to do, but under this current shower in the boardroom, we will have more chance of actually seeing this mythological reduction in mail that they keep lying about.
