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.

Re: No more election payments?
The payment for the item should be at D2D rate by the look of it - as it seems to be a D2D contract.
Each party/candidate is allowed to send ONE addressed OR unaddressed mailing in their constituency - NOT both.
However, this applies to "election material" only.
If a candidate or party wants to send an addressed "election" mailing AND and unaddressed D2D mailing they can do so.
Or, if they wanted to send an unaddressed mailing and then follow it with stamped/meter addressed letters they could do that as well.
Looking at the label I presume this is one of three D2D for the week? If so then payment at D2D rate is right.

Re: No more election payments?
We were told in WTlying this morning that adressed material would pay 4p per Item, non addressed 3p per item, so if you have four polling cards for one house that would be 16p.itllnottouchyou wrote:We were told this morning that the polling cards are being sent out 1st class as it is so close to the election so we wont be getting extra payment for them!!
We were also told that the extra time was costed in the payment, so we wont be able to book excess on Election material

So in theory there should be no reason to cut off

there's a very good reason if you have a duty that goes over time virtually every day. i book excess delivery nearly day so if i'm told i can't do this because of the election material then theres no way i'm going over my time hence not only election stuff but live mail will not be delivered
