OPT OUT OF D2D
As a customer of Royal Mail I will be opting out of d2d deliveries. I heard a chap at work today suggest putting an advert in the local paper warning the public of the dangers of such a large volume of unsolicited mail building up were a person/persons to take a two/three week holiday. Surely such a build up of this volume would encourage a break in into somebodys house were an opportunist thief/burglar. Are the police aware of Royal Mail and its intentions. It may only take a high profile incident to put a stop to these practices. Letting the postmen/women deliver letter and a service to our customers.

Customers can have a free keep safe .
Getting rid of mail you are paid to deliver will cut your own throats.
Others deliver 'junk' mail and local newspapers as well.

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: OPT OUT OF D2D
should ALL the staff at Royal Mail (Deliveries) opt out? Yes a loss of revenue for RM, but we'd still get the weekly money!

It's a cut throat business we're in!

Re: OPT OUT OF D2D
Current retention notices state "all mail" which includes dtd. If there is a build up it will be because there was no keepsafe taken out or because our competitors are leaving it all hanging out of the letter box like they usually do. Either way it won't be our fault and yet another excuse for not doing the job just fell flat on it's arse.waitaminute wrote:As a customer of Royal Mail I will be opting out of d2d deliveries.

where we are, i find it amusing that people would wish to get rid of another stream of revenue, then
we will be moaning with the drop in revenue,further staff reductions, more P/Ters.

Re: OPT OUT OF D2D
I was told that even if a customer has a 'Keepsafe', D2D's still get delivered, it's only addressed mail that gets held.

The fact that posties on here and various Facebook campaigns wanting a high profit part of the business to be done away with amazes the f**k out of me.

Re: OPT OUT OF D2D
I think D2D is the worst type of advertising for the environment but I see people out delivering leaflets all the time on my delivery who are not royal mail, so opting out will just move the contract to a competitor. A school teacher years ago moaned at me for not using the other side of a page to write on because of all the trees being cut down, what a dumbass teacher lol. Should be out moaning at companies who deliver leaflets.

Re: OPT OUT OF D2D
I have my D2Ds delivered and they go in the bin as its a pain to have to deliver to 99% but remember who does not get one and i like my Postie too much to muck him around.
