Missorts

[Pat Ostman]

bringing mail back will get you sacked (has happened) so I'll take the few minutes it takes to deliver all missorts (not that I have many).

Wrong walk? Can your office bring that back?

Wrong City? Where do you draw the line?

How bad are you at sorting, I can understand putting a letter for the drive into the road but not for another walk..............let alone another town/city.

Must be just my office then, bringing mail back will get you sacked

Depends here on who you are (oooooh contraversial!) Seriosusly most people would chuck the odd letter(s) back in a post box*. If anyone came back to the office with 'misrouted' mail within their time then they'd be sent back out with a warning that in future all missorts to be delivered if your within RM time. If not then you'd get counselling with regards not being fast enough as you'd having to 'cut-off' if you brought mail back.

*Its the people that post back half a bundle that get ib interested!

DGP, I do not sort. Certain people who are throwing deliveries in care more about their own walks but not so much if they are not delivering the letters on another.

I have had all the above as mistakes.

Everybody has missorts.
Then there's the "stuck to the back of" for somewhere 400 miles away.
Common sense.

Yes, and some have more than others, especially if your round is chucked in by those who do not care if they are not actually delivering the letters.

My missorts story,i dined out on it for ages...
At my old do prepping a walk sorted bundle,baring in mind the postcode for this do and where i lived are miles apart and the postcode numbers nowhere similiar,i had a missort for my own house.
Think it was a bill as well.

Don't bring missorts back, you're supposed to deliver them

What if it's a redirection?

Fine if you know every single redirection on your duty, but as a reserve, I don't know ANY.

If there is other mail in the same name and you have time, fine, but I often find missorts from another duty, another town even, so rarely deliver them.

I was told by our rep that you are allowed 13 missorts per every 100 calls, any more and you can be conduct coded for bad work. Is this right? We never have time to go back as our DO is all rurals.

Erm.........isn't that what the big red things on the corner of streets are for..........? Jus' sayin'............

[stokes11eg]

When I started, in prepping up at least, 2 missorted letters per hundred was the accepted norm, however, as always if you have time you still deliver them. Now, sadly, as other posters say,with any old person prepping up, you can have whole bundles of missorts---if anyone still has wtl sessions, these are the questions that should be raised in public as it were,

You are not supposed to reintroduce mail into the system.
That's what blue pouches are for.

fook me!

SO for the average walk you'd be bringing back around 100 items??

Disgraceful
