BASE AND 6

[Woody Guthrie]

We don't have this in our office yet but talks of getting it. A question for those who do - when one person is tieing up, what is the second person supposed to do exactly?

Tie up.
Obviously not in the present circumstances but post pandemic.
I've seen these things, it's very....intimate.

Or get the van and do the van checks and then start loading the bulk.

You'll have no space for packets above the frame, with 2 loops being given the space that 1 used to give.

Why don't you put the packets directly into the bag for that loop?
If you have 4 loops - put 4 bags on the floor and put the packets straight in.

What does the other guy then do when you're tying up?

One of the duties I van share with has 12 loops.

So some packets get sorted onto the floor into bags and others into the top of frame? Space is so tight there isn't any room to do that - the space saved by moving to shared frames isn't ever given back to the post person - it's used to cram more into the the office. 16 loops on a frame with the space for about 6 loops worth of parcels.

Think he means one guy does the tying up, the other would get the specials, PDAs, does van check, loads the big parcels

Tying up two duties could take anything from 40-60 minutes.

[Captain Scarlet]

It's in our DO and total nightmare. Can only tie up after fully prepped as there is no room for two people to sort back and forth frames. Less space for packets up top and with revision coming in where you won't be doing d2d until at least 1 letter for call (as long as completed for sat) then you begin to see it's all about creating space in DO for increase in parcels. The other option for space would be bigger offices....not likely to happen

[postslippete]

Don't think you could swing a cat in our place now that we inherited other offices. I dread to think what would happen in a fire emergency but it ticks all the relevant boxes as far as health an safety is concerned. There are many of our duties that have double slots all neatly crammed in together but the screws are looking at this the wrong way. The biggest issue is not the frames but where we actually store all these big parcels coming through our network. Sometimes a single duty would need at least 2 York's on a busy day

My partner is so OCD there’s no way He’d let Me work like this He’d be hovering over Me while I was doing this.

Hi anybody had any experience of this way of operating.

Of course what I meant was if someone could develop a hook to attach to the frame then you could hang pouches on the hooks and avoid bending.

Base and 6, and there are still new developments which don't have any where on a frame yet,even with double slots on all calls...
