how often do you misdeliver

[clashcityrocker]

Or when your sure you've memorised a door number for a parcel then realise it's not from them after ringing the bell and getting them up.

Or when they open the door and you realise it is the return address you are looking at.
It is difficult to explain why you are handing back the packet they took to the Post Office the day before.

Yes, but most of the time I realise in time and just run

Years ago,when i first started got thrown onto a walk blind.

Really heavy day,rough as hell sink estate...you get the picture.

Towards the end of the duty all the street names were very similar,containing only four or five houses & all running off each other,for example,Willow Crescent,Willow Drive.Willow Row etc,etc.

I'd thrown the walk out but in my rush to get out of the office (as was the done thing back then) i'd made loads of mistakes whilst prepping.

Que - loads of disgruntled folks coming out of their houses at 3.30pm complaining that i'd posted the mail to the wrong address.

Still shudder now when i think about it.

Everyday. It's part of the job> :dcfo :ncfo

i hate it when you go down a street for first time and all the houses just have names instead of numbers, then half the houses dont display house names in easy to see places!

[spoodoo]

we are machines misdelivery proof!

No house name or no number displayed = No post . this should be the law

Quite right, I had some woman moaning at me the other day for putting the wrong post through her letterbox,. I just think if you can't be bothered to put a number on your house how do you expect anyone to deliver the correct mail to you. I'm not psychic ffs!

House numbers must be clearly displayed by law

The law requires that occupiers of premises display the house number on their property.
Numbers should be marked on a strong contrasting background and be seen clearly and visible from the roadside.

I hate doing the autopilot shuffle as I call it. Enter a property because they get mail nearly every day, then try and sneak out when you relaise you don't have anything for them.

I don't sneak out, I always seem to have a tourettes moment and bollock myself.

I know this one.. i memorised 99 for a packet. Obviously it was 66.. I'd read the bugger upside down in me pouch. How we laughed...

[Spedley]

I make a point of never reading anything upside down. You can be certain you've read it right until you turn it the right way up.

Anyone who doesnt misdeliver at least once a day, or the very leastevery 2 days, is a liar imvho

Depends on how long you've been doing the walk. I've been doing mine 9 years, obviously I misdeliver now and again but certainly not every day or couple of days. Last complaint I had was around 5 years ago.

I walk down lots of paths though, then realise I haven't got any mail for them. I think it's worse when you've been doing the walk a long time as you know who gets mail every day.

Yes, me too--even worse is delivering to the door, getting to the next house, and having to go back to the previous address with mis- sort!

[POSTMAN]

I misdelivered to my own house once.
