Postmen taking large parcels

If it doesnt fit in the pouch it goes in the van.

That's what I was told on my first day.

On my second day I was told to split the bag, into two.

Well that works until you get 2 that fit in the pigeon hole but fill your bag up. Still it means I have less time to deliver and cut off more. I always wondered why the drivers get their knickers in a twist on this one. The have a set amount of packets to do per hour which is not affected by size and the back of the van can take 100s more packets than a pouch or pouch box can. If they run out of time they have transport back to the office - all in all it seems easier.

However, I do know some posties do take the piss and if you know you can get rid of it, or it can go through the letterbox then IMHO walking posties should take those.
