I was always told , 1 delivery attempt and 1 re delivery attempt then they have to fetch it or it goes back after the regulated time
The line on our place is one redelivery thats it, if there not in tough they have to come and collect, strange how every office is different.
I knoy

The phg tells me shes an old dear give her a bit of time to get to the door,so off i goes.Its about 08.15 when i get to her gaff and bang on her door and bell.I waited for about 5 minutes before i wrote out another 739 and stuck it through her box.
Finished the rest of my reg and went back to the office for breakfast.
Phg tells me shes been on the phone again and wants another redelivery :shock: ok i said as i had to go back to her road on a parcel delivery later on.So i delivery all the firms and go back to her house about mid-day.She answers the door and is overjoyed to see me and thanks me for bringing the item :Very Happy She then has a nightmare with the PDA and after about 20 attempts we get there in the end :dance Next thing she shoves a fiver in my hand and once again thanks me and our phg and manager for our patience.
So at the 7th attempt she got her letter and i got my breakfast paid for(done a fiver in the bakers,we have no canteen) :cool
Is this a record for a re-delivery?
How many times should we re-deliver?
I don't know about a record for redels but it sounds like a record for the bakers, porky sod :chuckle

But EACH redelivery attempt resets the clock for sending the item back.
We can only hold Recorded Signed For™ items for seven days before returning them to their sender – any redelivery date must be within seven days of the first delivery attempt.
Right, so the redelivery goes out... nobody to sign for the item so postie writes out fresh 739 with the date. Customer looks at 739 dated for the redelivery date and see's that the item will be held for 7 days.
