we have heard a rumour about D.S.A.....apparently there is a grading system similar to mailsort and have heard that as well as not having to take mailsort out on saturdays there is a specific type of D.S.A that also could be left.....have asked our dim and his sidekick and they have said its true but they dont know which items can be left.....its all to do with the colour of the stamp impression...........anybody else heard of this and could maybe shed some light on the matter :lfo :cfo

ive noticed wif tnt, tht they have a tnt stamped mail with squiggly lines threw and says premier, so i gater thts 1st class, then ive noticed just tnt wif squiggly lines, so i gather thts 2nd class mail, and theres just tnt, which normally is junk so i gather thts the mailsort equivilant. i was at an office on a saturday once and we were allowed to leave the tnt junk, but my line manager swears all DSA is 1st class in my point of view, load of bollocks!

One of these firms has some of it marked 'Economy' so they can't expect us to rush about with that. Best just to treat the big 'S' at the top right of the envelope as meaning 'Slow' and deliver it when it suits you.

Isn't it ridiculous that they have made up all these different labels to impress our ex customers and get them to part with their money and then never bothered to inform us how much indifference we should treat each type with.

Imagine the scenario:

DSA company - good morning we would like to offer you a better deal than Royal Mail

Prospective customer - Ooh goody, tell me what all the pretty labels mean

DSA company - well for a start they are all cheaper than roy............... (interrupted by customer now upgraded from prospective to definite)

Definite customer - never mind the labels - give me the discount

DSA company - don't you want to know about the different service levels?

Now Slavering customer - f**k the service levels - save me money.

THEY DESERVE EVERYTHING THEY GET (OR DON'T GET AS THE CASE MAY BE)

Why the confusing and meaningless S on the labels ? Why not 'Delivered by Royal Mail' ? No doubt Postcomm would object to such a truth as being uncompetitive.

No, the customer only sees "Delivered by Royal Mail" on the Door To Door crap that goes straight in their bin.
