I've got one here from Saturday and I didn't have time to nip it back to the depot. Can I just put it in the post box or should I give it my postman?

We have been told that if we accidently take delivery cards home (we all go back to the DO after delivery, so they should be handed in) then we should phone up and give them the barcode numbers so items can be confirmed.

Different places different rules - at My DO we take them in on our next working day or it off the pouch it back in the pouching off bag.

You would have thought that we would have the same rules all over and its crazy that we don't.

Too simplistic an idea for Royal Mail to comprehend.
