Parcel delivery standards

Post by clewsy01 »

Hi, Im new here, I am looking for the parcel/packet delivery standards are average amount of packets per hour. I have just moved onto the new hybrid duties and our office manager is claiming 60-70 packets over 3 hours is not good enough!! Needless to say myself and the 3 other lads doing this are bemused and would like to know what the standard is so we can stick to it.
I have searched but cannot find a definitive answer, hopefully somebody can help.

regards

I was under the impression it was 15 per hour. I'm not sure what that means, whether it is 15x P739, or just 15 attempts or what?
It was thrown in a conversation by an ex-union rep and I didn't question it but it does seem a little low these days, especially as I often have 4+ driver packets per 50 house street.

He must be trying it on 60- 70 in 3 hours is 1 every 2.5 minutes. attendance calls are I believe 2 minutes per house - so thats 30 seconds driving between the address points.

Do they call your manager Schumie

17 per hour average as far as I know.

60-70 p over 3 hours? He must be implying that you should speed, not wear seat belt, park anywhere, knock once only, grey bin everything.

Know your rights. 17 per hour is a guideline but remember, if you do your job right, it doesn't matter if you average under or over this.

Had to bump this,how can there be a standard,for instance the drives at my place are completely different in how many can be done in a certain time.

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.

You have to have a figure for resourcing..but that's all it is.
Just like with the IWT and pegasus managers will try it on.
