Sky Mags?

Post by BoyGeorge »

Could people please share with me how long they have to deliver these ball braking mags? In my office they usually arrive middle of the week when its the heaviest and we are given 2 days to deliver. Even like this month they came in a whole week before the beginning of dec but we were still told we had to get them out within 2 days. Thanks.

I've had 2nd class ones this week which have had to go out on the same day, today I had s**t loads of mailsort ones which we've been told we have until Saturday to clear, I took where I was going today and cleared the lot!
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

It does not matter if they are mail sort or 2nd class they are both treat the same in our office. We were told RM has an agreement that we'd get them out within 2 days ( prob bullshit but not sure).

Some offices have to do them within 2 days,some 1,some 3,some 4..........
You get my drift,depends on what twonk is in charge.

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.

The mailsort ones, mostly bundled up, are always 'streamed' up until the 1st of the month; all 2nd class, loose ones, are delivered on the day they are sorted up.

Most mailsort and walksort that comes bundled have a label that states last delivery date - sometimes they are removed but I try to keep any eye out for them and use that as a guide - neve had a problem when I have stuck to it. Mind you I always try to get rid of them as soon as I can if they arrive early as you can lay odds on that the 點心 will try to push more on us during the rest of the week.

We are always told 2 days from the day they come in, however if, on the 2nd day a couple more mags come in then thats an extra day, and as the DIMs arent exactly blessed with more than one brain cell, its pretty easy to pull the wool. They say 2, but its usually 3.
