what time is the earliest we can knock ?

Post by islfor »

What time can we knock on a customers door with a parcel ? As our lino says that we can knock after 7am....I always thought it was after 7.30am.
He only does this because the rurals are late going out, so he has vans spare for town parcel deliveries.

Its is 7am but its a ridiculous time to be knocking on a door in my opinion. Did it over christmas and found it took up to 10 mins for people to get to the door. I reckon it should be 7.30am. This is the time alot of famillies are up getting kids ready for school etc.

Back in the good old days we weren't allowed to leave the office until 6:45am to allow us 15mins to get to our delivery for the earliest delivery time of 7am.

In a few years time we will be asking what's the latest you can knock not wanting to wake residents after they've gone to bed. :crazy:

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
