fortunately our office is clear of packets, as they are paying lots of overtime and they have increased the night crew.
if royal mail cannot put more hours in, then its stupid.
royal mail should offer a good service, as online shopping is so popular.

Dunno exactly but it must have been a lot.

Place is a joke, packets backed up everywhere and no organisation.

Out until 13.45 today, due to pouch off at 1305. Absolutely knackered, and I'll be booking half an hour.

If manager moans, he'll be doing anything left himself from now on.

The last day or so the number of Tracked items has gone through the roof, I wouldn't be suprised if we were to see 100+ cages of Tracked at our MC at some point between now and Christmas

Yorks and yorks of the stuff. Mostly Amazon. The problem is we can't even send extra drivers out with them because although we have spare vans and people we don't have spare PDAs :arrrghhh

283 in our place today.
We can not cope,our drivers do all the reg firms and bag drops.
Ive heard there are 16 yorks of undelivered packets and parcels sitting down in the canteen :sad:
Not enough bods want the overtime to clear them all up,i think some lads are going in Sunday to have a bash at them.
Its no good taking on this work if we dont have the resources to cope :crazy:

Not for tracked, they need to use the PDAs.
