Re: Delivery Cards
I've always filled in the time myself, I just ask the customer to print and sign their name in the relevent box, it's the way I was 'trained
' to do it.
I'm preparing myself for the zombie invasion, rule number 1 - Cardio

Re: Delivery Cards
With the way things are now, I'd think that the first mistake will end up as a conduct issue.

Re: Delivery Cards
We have also been briefed about delivery cards being completed properly in our office although we haven't been threatened with the conduct code...we also no longer take out any specials, these all now go with the van drivers to ensure they make the 9am/1pm deadlines.

Re: Delivery Cards
I quite often forget to put the time down, but then i just write the approximate time of any I missed before I hand my card into the locker when i get back. That's usually before 1pm anyway so it doesn't really matter... Does it?

Re: Delivery Cards
We were told to do this a couple of weeks ago and also to fill in the top Rec/Special/Returned/Pouched Off, which reminds me I forgot to fill in the time on my card today
Only had the one Rec on it as I use the PDA but not on my walking part of the delivery, its like carrying a house brick around. Also heard this week that all drivers are to take ALL the Specials.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
Illegitimi non carborundum

Re: Delivery Cards
They'll need more drivers then for my office. We have got at least 20 yorks of undelivered packets, been backing up for months. You know RM, instead of getting the drivers to do them, they put them on walks, or the latest, delivering timed bags for all the walkers, no safe drops to be used.
Ah, good old management initiatives. Oh, and we've not to tell the public that Auntie Joan's Christmas pressie is probably still in the back log.

Re: Delivery Cards
Most of the time I fill in the time myself, adding on 15 minutes just in case.

Re: Delivery Cards
Only the drivers use them at our place thank god.
But then we dont go back to the office so would be pointless.

Re: Delivery Cards
He has been told off postcomm about not hitting targets....what a load of bullSovietOnion73 wrote:We had a breifing today by our DIM regarding delivery card times .He has been told that everyone now must have a time entered for each item signed for whether or not the customer enters the time or we make it up ourselves. If we fail to get a time we first will get a warning then after that we will be taken down the conduct code as R/M ( in his words)have been told by postcomm that they dont believe we are hitting are targets getting items signed for on time, and they believe R/M are giving them fictious figures ( are we not at 98/99% on target for our signed items).He did also mumble about signatures and times being in black and not blue ink or we would be taken down the conduct code but he didnt press on this one so i shall carry on using blue.
I think your dim has been audited, and has probably not reached his targets.
Funny thing is that when ever we have a team brief and the dom talks about do this properly or else, it happens for so long then its back to square one again!

Re: Delivery Cards
Come on people, get i right, your manager needs another big bonus for hitting targets......
Anyway we have been told to put the little strip sticker WITHIN the little box, don't overlap the lines, make sure it's straight. or else.
Petty minded idiots & they pay someone to go round checking these things.

Re: Delivery Cards
To be fair, the scanners probably can't scan blue and therefore can't get a copy of the signature. I know we had this issue when I used to work for a bookmakers that scanned bets. You could barely see the blue and red doesn't come out at all.Gene Hunt wrote:We have been told that we must use black ink when getting items signed for...Otherwise we is in the ofice for a Boll'##k'n
