Would they person who redirects from this office to way up North, PLEASE stop covering the name with the stickers! I'm sick of peeling them off to check the name.

that happens a lot!

a question though, i have a redirection coming to an address on my round, the address it is coming to has a redirection, if it comes in a redirect bag, can i open that bag to check that it is not someone i need to redirect or is that classed as opening mail as it's in a redirect bag?

That would be a yes in case it's not a whole family move.
Obviously summins up there. :nervous

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.

Yes you can open it. Sometimes you may have to in order to get it throug the door. But surely you know if you have a redirection coming in which is redirected out again without having to check every day?

But the incoming redirection could be for all former residents there whereas the outgoing redirection could be for just one or some of them.

Having had a number of people move into a house on one of my walks, and then at least one of them moving on again, all involving redirections, I'm going to redirect *nothing* unless I can clearly check the name. And I'm posting nothing to a house with a redirection, if I can't check the name.

Another scenario is when someone moves onto your walk and has a redirection from their previous address. If they never get any mail from it you wouldn't know that they had a redirection. After 11 months, they move on. You redirect their mail. The address gets a letter redirected to it, but the name is covered. Do you assume the letter is for the new owners? What if its for the previous owner, who've had a redirection set up for 11 months and only now get something?

Mate, don't assume anything. If you can't see the name of the person, you can't redirect it, so just deliver as addressed :angel

Yes, but then the complaints come in because someone hasn't had something redirected to them :sad: and they don't know it's because a postman where they've moved from isn't doing their job properly. :sad:
