What a horrible wet rainy day !!!

What a horrible wet rainy day !!!

What a horrible day in Wolverhampton.
Same happened to my partner.

My letter/paper specials fell apart.
I couldn’t write any 739 because all my cards wet and ruined. I just scanned the special has no answer.
Parcels literally falling apart in my hands.
One of worst weather this year.
Some of the track labels were unscanable because how bad the rain was.

Did anything similar happen to anyone ?

In future I will put all my specials in a damage bags before I go out on delivery.
I will put my 739 cards in a damage bag.

Is this a good idea ???

I wouldn't mind it so much if we had waterproof coats and shoes. I don't care so much about the parcels getting wet but wet feet isn't pleasant.

I always have a stock of damaged bags and the actual RM branded plastic bags to put stuff in if I have to 'safe place' it round the back but they've not left their shed open as usual or behind the bin where rain might get down the gap between the bin and the wall. Yes, yes I know it's not a safe place if it's not under shelter but I've put it in a placcy bag - my decision.
