D2D "Checking"
... were told last week that "rather a lot" of D2Ds were being sent back - so were warned that they would be "penned" (u/v gizmo) and we will have to count our surplus and hand them in to the locker.

Re: D2D "Checking"
The problem is how can you tell who hasnt done them on your walk? Not many of us work 6 days a week so who gets the blame if its not done on your days off? My walk is lapsed 2 days a week so that what potentially 6-10 different people not doing d2ds! Suppose you have to ask your self who is going to sit there an individually mark 500+ d2ds per walk as well?!

Our Dim introduced a system of checking but he can't be bothered now. He sometimes clears the D2D's in before we have a chance to deliver them all!

Understand what your saying but we dont get paid enough to solve problems. Do what you have to do yourself and noone can say jack,.George door to dawes wrote:The problem is how can you tell who hasnt done them on your walk?

Yes we got this new sheet on our frames about 2 weeks ago , daily we enter the amount and where delivered then sign then the managers countersigns . If the managers keep on top of the daily check that's the posties who seem to think they are excempt from d2d dealt with .

the D2D's are now part of the duty/workload, so if anybody is found to be not delivering them...hell mend them...that's willful delay !?

I make doubly sure they get them,,,itslofty wrote:what about the houses that have a sign or bit of paper stuck to the door that says "no leaflets or flyers or charity bags"? i still d2ds through and walk of sharpish
Regretablty for my opt outs when they clash with my day off or I am on hols they also get them,,,Surely a scenario repeated thousands of times every day..All in all opting out also a bit of a waste of time....Someone needs to tell em thats what the bin is for if they feel that strongly about it..

Re: D2D "Checking"
We do them too albeit weekly, but I was told by a postie at another office (different county) they were only relevant in the days when we were paid per item, so they don't do them any more.countyboy wrote:Dont know if its universal but we have a sheet on our frames we have to sign daily to say they are done.

And I'll bet when the press "report" on the incident the headline will be "Postman hoards/ steals 10,000 items of mail."knoxycube wrote:somone from our office was caught not delivering his d2ds and was suspended immediately,there doing him for wilful delay,
