Post by kwikpost »

Most of my office don't even wait for the mis-sorts to arrive :d'oh! but those that do can just put them in order of delivery after bundling up.

We don't have a missort run anymore but we do have to wait before going out until all the sorting frames are clear. Bit daft really cos some rounds haven't even finished being prepped.

Our mis-sort run is normally back by 8.30 so not much of a problem.

Depends on how heavy the day is as our last missort run comes in about 9.am. Its been worringly light the last few days so i ve tied up and put the missorts in a seq order bundle and feed them in on the way round. Recently our manager has turned a blind eye to people going out and doing the odd bit before the run :confused . Some are rushing around and have done 50% of their walk before i go out :no no These will be the same ones who will hold their heads when their walk gets cut. :d'oh!
