Door to door leaflet exactly the same as a p739

Post by factorycat »

Our d2d's are in for next week and one of them is exactly the same as our p739's!!!!!!!!!!!!
Has any other office got these or had them before?
I think they are 'virgin' leaflets.

When I say "exactly"... I mean there so alike it's unreal.... I will take a picture tomorrow and put it on if it allows me

I wonder how many people will be chasing us down the streets with these in their hands saying "where's my parcel????".

I think we've had them, or at least something very similar to our own 'Sorry we missed you...' cards, but never had anyone chasing after me.

It is annoying that they're allowed to do this though because someone might mistake a genuine one for another D2D and bin it.

Same a few years ago when the Reader's Digest rubbish looked like a recorded letter, with barcodes and orange registered mail stickers on , some came out and said "i didn't sign for it , you didn't knock, I was in etc. Some thought they had won ! :Very Happy Ah well roll on next week .

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.

Last time a company tried this trick it was BT, if I recall correctly. Someone high up must have taken note of complaints because they changed the colour from red to green soon after. There's a copyright notice on the back of 739s to prevent the design being ripped off/abused, but apparently it's alright if you get RM to deliver it.
The machine stops.

Yeah, BT have had these several times. I've had people coming into the callers office to collect their parcel... :roll: At least they're not turning up trying to collect city link stuff!

I think its clever,Most people who get parcels will know what a 739 looks like,So they will pick this up and read what it says,Good way to get your attention.
You do get a the odd person not reading and running after you with it,Pretty good idea if you ask me.
