Callers Offices/Enquiry Offices to be closed down in January.

If it results in lots of parcels going back out each day, won't it make all HCT deliveries non viable, as it's got to result in EVERY walk needing a van?

What happened with the tricycles and electric trikes RM was trialling 2-3 years back?

Most companies are paying a flat day rate now. I was told by an Amazon driver she was getting £165 a day plus milage. She reckons quite a few Parcelforce guys have moved over to Amazon.

Question is who would work for Royal Mail when the competition is now paying higher wages.

Do they have finish times or are they committed to clear whatever workload they are given?

Obviously they have a set workload with no finish time. Seems like she was doing a 10 hour day.

Gone off topic but I'd rather have an pedal assisted ebike than the HCT any day, the first one's ok but the rear cabinet is too small, second one the
driver cabin is too exposed to the elements.

I'd prefer one of these https://eav.solutions/ decent driver cabin and large enough rear cabin, already used by some firms in UK cities UK apparently (from their website) but as always RM will be years behind the curve (Disclaimer - other bike manufacturers will be available!). Apparently it charges from a standard 13 amp wall socket, would just have to unplug the condom's coffee machine and run an extension lead
out through the window!

Riding around the buggy seems a lot of fun i would happily do it

The Amazon guy that delivers to us says that drivers who repeatedly return with undelivered parcels are simply not offered shifts. In addition, that daily pay rate has to cover van hire, fuel and insurance. Not quite so attractive as it looks (rather like RM's "9% offer"...)

Oh well.

With regards to future CSP staffing levels, I'm now getting referred again to OH, to see if I am still covered by the Equality Act. I suspect that'll more likely mean that I am going to end up IHR out the door when the CSP hours get cut...

Half way through January are CSP still closing in January yes or no ?
Anybody heard anything ?

[fasrfreddy]

I think everything is a maybe till it happens, it's madness to Close but ......

[sledger]

im assumming as mileage is being paid that a van has to be financed out of that daily rate,not so great then.

Not a thing.

Our office has stickers for parcels that don't get delivered with 2 spaces on for different delivery attempts. It's like they're in place ready for the auto redelivery system. There's no other reason to have them as they are twice the size and on some parcels don't fit on.

I like how they are keeping us all well informed about all this. Not. It’s almost as if they’re making it up as they go along.

It's a disgrace, one of the office brownnosers who is well in, said the managers had a conference call on Saturday and was told that ours was closing, we was told this might happen just before xmas, but as we are a large office there would be a good chance of us staying open 2 hours in morning to give out p.o boxes and Br's to customers and 2 hours in afternoon for PPI shite etc, but it's going altogether now , but the gutless twats havn't said anything so it could all be bullshit, still it's nice to be kept in the loop.
