[TrueBlueTerrier]

Three different ways of preparing Door To Doors but which is correct ? I've never seen any instruction.

• D2D should be the last items prepped to a frame after address mail unless there is available down time such as waiting for missorts or late arrivals.

Not first ......last

• Note: D2D items should not be merged with other mails at the doorstep.

Definitely not in bundles and merged at the doorstep.

I've been on 4 lots since I stopped getting paid for them yet walks elsewhere in the office have 1 or 2 lots. Got back off delivery today and there's 5 lots under my frame for next week. Well since it's all part of the workload now, I'll be cutting off next week when I can't complete on time because I couldn't get out the office on time because I was setting in 5 lots of for an hour

f**k em!

The minimum requirements percentage needs some proper clarification for me and no doubt many other part-timers.

My (pretty decent as they go) line manager says that the 1/6 call rate Monday to Saturday is not yet in effect and for now we should still be doing 1/5 Monday-Friday only. Our section were all required to sign a sheet about various standards this last week that included a statement that a 20% call rate is expected Monday-Friday for D2D.

Yet I'm reading on here (and have told my line manager) that some depots have already colour coded every frame so that whichever person is on any given walk in the depot knows precisely what D2D is part of that day's workload.

So who is right?

Please tell me this isn't another "local agreement" thing! Royal Mail is a nationwide company, therefore the standards and practices should be a national standard!

Thanks. I didn't know that's what's meant to happen. Impossible though as there's no room in the frame for most addresses once all the proper mail's been put in there.

and RM dont enforce it as it would drastically cut the length of deliveries possible within the duty time!

I have four lots of households this week and struggled today.
So I went in at the right time as usual today had my break and put my four lots of households together at the end, after I threw my mail off and when I done my killing off and redirections, then I placed my households in the frame, once that was done the time was 9 40am so I spoke to the manager and told him I won’t finish on time, he said “if you go over I will pay you” I made it quite clear I’m not going over so I left the bottom row in and he agreed.
That’s out of my hands now.
Tomorrow will be the same. Its down to staff shortage at my office, nobody on the ips.
If I was to complete the walk today it would have been a 2pm finish, I don’t thinks so some how.
And they wanted me to do my part of the summer walk as well.
We really need more people like me instead of moaning about it.
SAY NO. STAND YOUR GROUND..

Guy on the job next to me got 6 today!

Check the dates there shouldn't be 6 yet.
At my place we've been getting ours in a week in advance and we have to keep checking the dates so they don't get mixed up.
