But the question is,as it's undated when was it posted? When 'should' it be delivered.

The answer as our esteemed MC colleagues tell us is,if it's in your DO,regardless of what it is-it is due for delivery,THAT DAY.

As per 'clear office policy'
Whatever is in DO has to go out that day.
DIM'S are under pressure by DSM'S to make sure of this!
Pckts whatever they are, have to go out that day!
Im not sure your right re normal packets, thats why they get left sometimes even if its not xmas.















Packets are the 1st thing to get left because like i said it's easier,some drivers get told to leave packets to cover walks ect.
You need to get this thing out of your head that it is ok for management to leave them willy nilly,not a dig Hants,but you're wrong,and it is wrong what goes on.



If it's a regular thing at your place then your rep needs to be on the case,this is peoples mail.


DSM in an ET hearing last year told the ET judge to his face that RM don't have to deliver them every day. I was there. I actually believe the DSM was telling the truth for once. So have to agree to dis-agree postman. DSM said they have 3 - 5 days presume thats working days, so thats bits the same.

But hand on my heart I still can't believe what goes on :silenced
Understand the 3-5 day thing,but within reason that goes with my when was it posted thing.
Have asked the MC guys for clarification,seems to be a let's abuse this grey area thing.
Yes I wasnt trying to be funny Postman, but I did note your post about packets up to 2 kilos, so do they just change the rules?

3-5 days is the time allowed to move through the pipeline from point A to point B.
It has absolutely nothing to do with how long a packet can sit in a D.O.
Well the DSM was saying 3-5 days when it was actually in the DO :no no

That is impossible,your DSM is seriously (are we surprised) full of s**t.It is a 3-5 day service.
Am really not bothering to go into if it's posted at a PO on a Mon....
I can not believe that blue shirts are not pulling that s**t up.
Did you see my thread in the MC forum?

Oh and no rules have been changed.

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.
