People who get loads of packets
And are never in get on my tits.
I have one person, day after day, has a minimum of a tray of packets some of which will go through the door, some won't so have to come back. Surely there must be some kind of arrangement that we can come to with customers as regards situations like these? It's farcical that I'm just taking packets out for a ride every day.

Yes 739 them, however you still have to carry them about until you can get rid of them in a box. For these people who are never in and always have packets, they should just arrange with the local office to pick them up there and save my time writing out 739's and save my back from carrying packets around.ebbzie wrote:Why worry ?

The drivers in my office won't touch packets unless they are really heavy.ebbzie wrote:If you have a "box full" send them out with a driverbox_shana wrote:Yes 739 them, however you still have to carry them about until you can get rid of them in a box.

I dont know why posties are expected to deliver any packet that will not fit through a standard letterbox. Surely these packets should go out with a driver. To give the postie a break from lumping a heavy bag around.

well you should be using the yellow template to say they are too big for you and you shouldnt be lumping a heavy bag anywhere, just stick to the maximum weight limits, it may add more time to your round or extra packets to the driver but both are not you issue to deal with manager is the one who will have to worry about making it work

Re: People who get loads of packets
Try having less items in the bags which cover places which get loads of packets then at least if they're not in you won't have to carry too much weight in the bag for too long, just means perhaps one or two more bag drops for the driver to deal with

Re: People who get loads of packets
Would work on P&L - But wont on Foot Delivery unless Manager has authorised using pouch boxes as a way to return packets, and if you only have safe drops then you have to carry it round till either you get close to a PO or till you return to the office.SpacePhoenix wrote:Try having less items in the bags which cover places which get loads of packets then at least if they're not in you won't have to carry too much weight in the bag for too long, just means perhaps one or two more bag drops for the driver to deal with

Re: People who get loads of packets
There was a download on here somewhere that gave measurements for what eactly consitutes a packet and a parcel..it was 400mmx400x200 and another for a long thin thing..basically take nothing that is over shoe box size,nothing that weights more than 2.5 kgs and groups of smaller you are supposed to ask the DIM

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.

Re: People who get loads of packets
Maybe people have missed my point here.
I am on P&L and the one person I'm thinking of gets a tray full most days of the week plus a massive oversized packet / parcel / box big enough to hide in once a week.
There is barely enough room with the trolleys, pouches, trays and other packets in the back of the van to take these out just to bring back a few hours later.

Re: People who get loads of packets
It's only annoying if you let it be annoying, if they're not there then just P739 it and put it back in the van for a trip back to the office, it's not personal, it's just the job so,Mr Blonde wrote:Maybe people have missed my point here.

Anyway, the most annoying are the people who want re-deliveries but aren't there when you go back

Re: People who get loads of packets
That would all be very good but this customer doesn't come and get them, they have them redelivered and there have been occasions where they've not been there for the "en masse" redelivery.DGP1 wrote:It's only annoying if you let it be annoying, if they're not there then just P739 it and put it back in the van for a trip back to the office, it's not personal, it's just the job so,Mr Blonde wrote:Maybe people have missed my point here.
