recorded signed for cock up
Hi, I'm sure i had a recorded signed for letter today but whilst out on delivery i didn't come across it.
I've either delivered it unsigned or lost it, what should i do?

Re: recorded signed for cock up
Dont panic this has happened to us all at some time.
Mention it to your manager that you may have posted a RD without getting a signature and you dont know what the address was.Wait and see what happens,they may complain they may not.
Different story if its a Special
When you prep your walk keep all your RDs to one side,at the end of prep count them,them set them in to your walk at the front of the address so that you can see them,you may even want to turn them round and write on the back RD.

Re: recorded signed for cock up
That's the weird thing, i always leave signed for stuff out until the end and put it at the front for that address.
I'm worried that it may have gone to the wrong address or i've lost it.

Don't panic,we've all done it.Very rare there is any comeback.

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.

Re: recorded signed for cock up
Done it to a recorded a few years back (it had one of those black and white labels on it not the orange one) told my manager and he was fine about it told me not to worry as the worst thing to happen is the sender would claim for the item up to 30 odd quid if they could prove the value. Nothing ever came of it.
Also posted a special when i first started by accident also told them about that and they asked me to try to get a sig when i finished work and try again the following day if not in, they were not in so manager asked if me if i was sure i had posted it and i knew i had as even now it haunts me seeing the special going into the letter box and i just watched it thinking OH FCK and then it was to late, so they made me sign for it covering themselves again nothing ever came of it. Now i always write out the P739 and put it at the front of that addresses mail with the item behind if small or in pouch if larger. SDs i do before starting delivery.

Posting it - nothing will happen
Losing it - may be a different story

Don't ask - don't tell - if ask - say don't know, which is not a lie just not the whole truth.
