D2D's are soooooo much cheaper than a mail shot so a blanket coverage to a postcode could be and probably is cheaper than sorting through addresses and sending out stuff DSA stylee.
10,000 leaflets D2D to 5,000 leaflets and envelopes and all the other s**t that goes with it.

Bring it on i say,but you knew i would say that anyway. :Very Happy

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.

Nope all separate, and our DOM insists they go in the frame singly, not tucked inside each other.

I think we've already established on here that the official line on the folder . . . is that there was no official agreement on the folder. Thus, you have 6 d2ds to prep - enjoy it! There's a couple of hours overtime in there if you want it, or else a couple of hours of cutting-off. Unless you're one of those who can actually prepare 6 d2ds in the ridiculous times that RM suggests . . .

6 d2ds would mean me prepping 570 items per day. I reckon that's about half an hour minimum.
