tying up walk's
could I just ask how many offices have to wait for the final missort's to arrive before they can start tying up their walk's

Re: tying up walk's
Most of my office don't even wait for the mis-sorts to arrive
but those that do can just put them in order of delivery after bundling up.

Re: tying up walk's
We don't have a missort run anymore but we do have to wait before going out until all the sorting frames are clear. Bit daft really cos some rounds haven't even finished being prepped.
Does this rag smell of chloroform to you?

Re: tying up walk's
Our mis-sort run is normally back by 8.30 so not much of a problem.

Re: tying up walk's
depends on the day
if its busy/or im doing a load of D2D i just wait and put the missorts in and tie down
if its quiet i tie down and then put the missorts in frame order and keep them in my red bag

Re: tying up walk's
Depends on how heavy the day is as our last missort run comes in about 9.am. Its been worringly light the last few days so i ve tied up and put the missorts in a seq order bundle and feed them in on the way round. Recently our manager has turned a blind eye to people going out and doing the odd bit before the run
. Some are rushing around and have done 50% of their walk before i go out
These will be the same ones who will hold their heads when their walk gets cut. 
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Re: tying up walk's
some used to do that in our office but since we moved DO were at the absolute edge of the delivery zone so theres no point for themkrussel wrote:Depends on how heavy the day is as our last missort run comes in about 9.am.

We don't often get many but since this fantastic new flat sorting machine,we get lumbered the odd time.
