Sorry I don't understand your reply, you deliver to every house on that loop even if it doesn't have mail = cold call?
Sorry that’s what I meant - it’s better than missing doors out and going the next day or the day after
Just do a loop - takes an extra 10-15 mins

👍

I guess the extra 10-15mins is why RM insist that all D2D iare n the frame by Tuesday and we warm call and clear up what's left on the Saturday.

This is apparently the way it's going to be across RM but as we see time and time again RM say things which never get implemented in some offices

That's fine if you are on the duty every day, people are being moved here there and everywhere to paper over the cracks, no idea how the pilot offices are dealing with D2D

Would that it were so simple. I don't nest my own but basically everyone wants them nested when you prep their duty. That's the easy part. Some people want all the D2D for a close at the back, some in each slot, some want the whole close prepped even if it crosses over a column, some want that close prepped the next day instead. Oh to go back to just prepping my own and the buddy walk :arrrghhh
The machine stops.

An old boy in our office comes in at the crack of dawn, when his day off falls on a Monday & chucks all his D2Ds in, then goes home before the rota crew comes in 🤭

I was adding last weeks D2Ds to D2Ds already left in the frame loads of those small Dr Bernardo's Christmas charity appeals letters :crazy:

Nobody cares about d2ds anymore as long as they are prepped in the frame that week then they can get delivered today or 7 weeks time when they are out of date and that address finally gets a bit of real mail. Then some lucky people get the same lot twice due to the double slot shambles and gigantic delivery’s. I would give up the delivery supplement if it meant I never had to touch this crap ever again. Such a waste on so many levels.

Luckily I only have about 10% of my frame being double slots but I still nest any d2ds.

I also keep meaning to put extra dividers into the double slots but still haven’t got round to doing it.

As a 30 hour reserve, a definite con is I've received zero tips the last 2 Xmas. A definite pro is 95% of the time I never throw d2d in.
Didn't go out 2 days the preceding bad-weather week. Threw in door to doors. When there are 7 they're getting nested. Otherwise there just wouldn't be enough time to go round the frame 7 times. Incoming impinged shoulder :left:

Wait, do people put door to door leaflets into the frames INDIVIDUALLY?
