Other walks d2ds found in other walks sealed d2d box's

Post by John james »

Not sure if this happened in other offices. But today this happened first time in my office.

The people who supply the d2ds messed up on the d2ds this week. They put other walks d2ds in other walks sealed boxes.

Say for example u open a walk 1503 sealed box. Then inside is 1503 d2ds. Plus a bundle of 1501 d2ds.

For example
1503 box had 1501 d2ds.
1502 box had 1507 d2ds
1505 box had 1515 d2ds
1514 box had 1517 d2ds
1512 box had 1508 d2ds
1513 box had 1114 d2ds

Should be labeled mixed walks. Happens always at ours for years. But should say mixed.

Have you had a revision lately? If you have, do the "messed up" walks tie up with how the walks were before the revision?

Some D2D's come in 'mixed walks' boxes, it's been happening for years and is perfectly normal.

Nothing uncommon, they do come up mixed. Should say mixed walks.

Yeah, pretty normal. If it comes in boxes of 1000 and each walk has 400-700, you'll get some boxes with 600 "reserved"(Unbundled) for the label, and the other up to 400 might be in a bundle or two for another walk.

Occasionally we'll get bundles of like, 4 with a staple through them and a sticker right across the most important part of the advert. :Very Happy

Should be labelled mixed though.

The boxes were not labelled mixed. On the box’s it had 1 walk labelled. Then inside was a bundle of d2ds of another walk with a label on lol.

We used to get them for other offices but in boxes marked for ours.

One week we delivered pizza leaflets and on about the Friday were told they were supposed to have gone to Scotland (we were southern England). It was only found out when a local resident rang to order a pizza and the bloke in Edinburgh had never heard of his address.

Another week delivering council leaflets with changes to bin collections, for a council about 30 miles away.
