Also, there is a chance of creating revenue for RM by slipping packets/recordeds, as the customer could always get it redelivered to a Post Office as a Local Collect - costing a quid. That goes towards keeping us in work. :nana
i thought it cost 50 pence

Onee of our blokes did the the same thing but with a regular packet. He went and knocked the next day after a similar call to the DOM from the customer. Soon as he did that the packet mysteriously turned up. I'm not suggesting your colleague does the same but I bet he sure feels like it. Anyway I hope it all works out for him and I await the Smelly Lady's considered and balanced input.
I staged a Roger Moore impersonator festival in my local village. There were a lot of eyebrows raised, I can tell you.

Local Collect™ for you

If you are out and miss a parcel delivery, you can collect it from any participating Post Office® branch. Simply call the number on the card left by Royal Mail and choose when to collect your item. This must be at least 24 hours later and after midday. The charge is just £1.50 (inc VAT) which you pay when you collect your item.

When i first started, i left a package around the back in a covered BBQ. I thought i was doing them a favour but they phoned up and complained. Of course i got a bollocking of the dim but it was a lesson learned and even now when customers ask me to leave any packets, i refuse and say I'm not allowed.

I just can't believe anybody would be that stupid to leave a Special :no no When we started this p&l crap we were specifically told under no circumstances were we to leave a Special, it being a conduct code and dismissal if you did. So just bring all the stuff back!!

One of our guys out lapsing three years ago put an international register through a door without getting a signature. The resident contacted the MP and whoever was on the duty ended up having to write an apology to someone high up in RM. My attitude post-revision is to P739 anything and everything.
The machine stops.

Being sacked is a horrible thing to happen to anyone,but he should be.If you fork out for a registered to be hand delivered and signed for on reciept, thats exactly what you should get. Your paying that premium so you dont have the worry of it going missing and Royal Mail will take SPECIAL care of it. You dont want it left in a shed and a postmans autoraph! :roll:
