Misdelivery...

Post by BingBong »

Think I posted a letter to the wrong number. What would be the outcome of a complaint? It's just a normal letter. Not special or Recorded or anything. Our Dom is a arse so I'm bit worried. I've not had any complaints before.

Every single post person in the world, yes every single one of them, has done it at some time or the other. Just be as careful as you can, check before slinging the stuff through the hole in the door and you'll be fine

Probably dismissal at the very least if not even a long drawn out High court case which will probably end in the judge wearing his black cap and ordering the death penalty :chuckle Alternatively, absolutely nothing will happen as everyone makes mis-deliveries. As long as you don't make a habit of it (or possibly even if you do) you'll be fine.

We just got a new Dom that's all and he is trying to suspend people left right and centre so I'm on my guard.

If you've realised you've done it knock the door and try to recover the item. If there's no answer pop a P6543 card through the door, that's one of the "sorry I posted the wrong thing through your door card" then try and recover the item the following day if you can.

I can't be sure if I did. I did knock to check. Ah we'll see what happens. Also we don't have those cards anymore!? Well in our office anyway. Should imagine it be ok. I hope.

I wouldn't worry, everyone does it from time to time.

If and its a big if then saying you knocked helps. We are not automatons, and although they desire 100BSI they won't get it in reality. However, even if your DOM is the biggest, scariest and hardest manager out there, then any punishment beyond counselling would be outside the normal range of actions and therefore as it would be unlikely to stick in an ET, its unlikely for the DOM to do anything more then send you on a session with your trainer.

I thought Coventry was in Northampton. At least that's where the football team plays. :nana
