Apparently if you’ve had a structural revision you put them in on Monday if not it’s daily

We were told this a while back but it became impossible.Especially if You were a double prepper or sorter. You just haven’t got enough time. It went back to do what you want as long as they are gone by Saturday :roll:

Just because you stick them in doesn't mean you take them all out on Monday. We only take them where we are going so it is nice to have them all in on a Monday and clear a good few before the heavier days.

RM need to work with the companies that produce the D2D to get them in envelopes or anther form suitable for machine sorting and have addresses on them but no addressee. Then RM could make use of DTS so that in theory each day it would just release those where you've got a 1C letter for with all remaining ones being released on Friday night for Saturday delivery

Wouldn't having them in envelopes be just the same as nesting? i.e only one thing to throw in the bin instead of 4.

Nope, each D2D in it's own envelope

This must take a long time to do if you are prepping two frames all in one day?

Impossible to put them all in on one day, just haven't the time.

We have unopened boxes from last week sat under the frames keeping the boxes of mail company!

Farce.

Most start popping them in on Saturday after their round. Then there is normally a lot of spare time on to pop the rest in or at least have them all in by Wednesday. It's a doddle when you only have the one, not so when you've got four and are putting them together before popping them in.
