Why do you want to do them over two days then? Spread them over the week, assuming they get into the office early in the week.

Not allowed to spread them as in our office what comes in must go out - i.e SDD! How do other offices get to spread them out over the week or a good few days, then again you've got your all right DOMs and the 1's that think they're better than they are...

H+S Doesnt come into it, its quite simple really, there the matrix for the bag weights so h+s is completely covered there.....................

However, if because you are taking them out in1 day, your bags may weigh more than allowed, so split your bags into the correct weight, couple of things will happen, extra bags = more work for drivers = pressure overtime for them or cut off if they prefer, extra bags for you = more dead walking back to your pouch boxes = going over your hours = pressure overtime or cut off, your DOM wont like either and am sure next month you will have 3 days to deliver them like we do!!!!

This is all you need to do....you might get pressured to take them all out in one day, but follow the above & you put the pressure on your DOM - and there is nothing he can do but whinge!
I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?

Mail delivery; those that can, do, those that can't, MANAGE!

Some of them might be the Freeview equivalent of Sky (Freesat).
