office closed when i came back

Post by resperin »

as the title says the delivery office was closed when i came. i knew it'd be closed at 2, but i was back by 1:30pm. just 30mins overtime. i pad locked the trolley outside the office, and tied the special delivery/letters i couldnt deliver into a bundle and shuved inside the front door letter box which was shut, and had cctv. did i do the right thing? i only had 3 other choices i could think of; i could of left the mail inside the trolley (risky considering it would be out there for 3 days) put it inside the post box attached to the building (risking the posibility of it going straight to the mail center) or the naughty thing which is taking it home, which would in my opinion been the best option. what woud you guys do, hoping i made the right choice.
