Re: Nesting your door to door items...
Another pain , doing this saves time , makes sense, customers don't want to pick up 6 seperate items off the floor , they know we're being helpful to them by keeping the bits together. And they don't mind which piece is at the front. Childish to stop things like this.
What will be this weeks new rule , no radio, no chatting, no laughing , no looking at each other, pathetic job now.

Re: Nesting your door to door items...
It's about the real customers.
The one's who pay us to deliver their D2D.
They don't want to spend thousands on a marketing campaign just to find their leaflet stuffed inside another where no-one can see it.
That isn't childish...it's common sense.

Re: Nesting your door to door items...
It's about time they paid by the size of the d2d, pay more to send out a 2 page a4 leaflet (like farmfoods), pay less if it's a scabby a5 postcard, that way then the dearest items will be seen first.
At the moment all the craap is the same price so it gets there however easier it is for me. Also if I have 5 of the same size d2d I can't guarantee which piece will land on the top .
p.s it's about time they banned them directline cheque book like d2d's.

They aren't all the same price, at least five bands depending on weight, up to 20g, 35g, 60g, 80g and 100g.5plusbonusball wrote:It's about time they paid by the size of the d2d, pay more to send out a 2 page a4 leaflet (like farmfoods), pay less if it's a scabby a5 postcard, that way then the dearest items will be seen first.

Re: Nesting your door to door items...
Well now that the D2D cap is lifted, even leaflets collated in the proper manner each have a diminishing share of the door mat. Imagine eight adverts playing at once on a single TV channel. 'Nesting' is quietly condoned here. And dare I say I've seen it happen during electionsfishtank wrote:They don't want to spend thousands on a marketing campaign just to find their leaflet stuffed inside another where no-one can see it.
The machine stops.

Surely once they go thru the letter box they "explode" in five different directions anyway ?
"We're under model" - oh no we're not - stick your lapse elsewhere ...

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.

That reminds me, why didn't they keep starburst, would have probably worked better than today's methods.RedBagMan wrote:Surely once they go thru the letter box they "explode" in five different directions anyway ?

...before inevitably getting chucked in appropriate recycling receptacle without so much as a second glance. Still, if these companies insist on wasting their monies then that's up to them; I couldn't care less 'nested' or not (which they are in our office and management turn a blind eye).RedBagMan wrote:Surely once they go thru the letter box they "explode" in five different directions anyway ?
You do the work, they get the loot. The men with the smiles and the 3 piece suits.

Re: Nesting your door to door items...
It's banned in our office but not enforced. The second they do enforce it cut offs will increase because it takes more time to prep and a lot more time to deliver.
