How long to do D2Ds now?

Post by Lawrencepa2014 »

I’ve still got most of 2 frames worth of D2Ds and was wondering if there’s a time frame I need to do them by these days? Is it 1 week or 2?

They are normally done the week you receive them.

I'm lead to believe, that they should *all* be delivered that week, but we roll over last weeks D2D into this weeks. I still have around 25 or so from last weeks in my frame that the customer did not receive any mail during the week. Our dim / lino's don't say anything, as yet, anyway.

We've been told to warm call only and if the contract is not time critical ie a coupon/offer for a certain date, any
left can be rolled into a second week, which normally gets rid.

The chances are if they've had no normal post for a week then there's nobody living there anyway, unless it's in an area with holiday homes?

Wow, I thought I was doing well with an address that hasn't had anything for 3 weeks.

It's a weird one. House never even gets a generic Sky leaflet or anything so I wonder if it's set to be demolished or something.

Might show on the local planning website if it's due to be demolished

I thought the correct procedure was warm call only but complete by the end of the week by cold calling if necessary on Saturday.
What exactly is the point of having 17 D2D for one address left in the fitting?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

That was the procedure. But then 2020 happened and it became do-what-you-feel-like with regards to D2D. It's like when the lottery rolls-over except you win 3 expired Dominos leaflets.
The machine stops.
