It could be for secure entry flats where the card gets delivered the following day...or whenever access can be gained.eastie wrote:It has a box with 'UNABLE TO GAIN ACCESS'

We haven't got the new ones yet.

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.

Re: new 739 card
You shouldn't do what this fella does you should deliver the card when the gate is open. If the gate is never open and there is not a external letterbox you should inform manager and send letters back as inaccessible. Whats to stop someone taking card and if the enquiry office don't ask for I.D for some reason then steal the packet. Don't give them the ammo to sack you just bring it back.bringon4dayweeks wrote:ive been houses before with the gate locked and what you DO is put the card on the gate with an elastic bandeastie wrote:It has a box with 'UNABLE TO GAIN ACCESS'

Re: new 739 card
I don't think he meant that. AFAIK its 3 attempts (1 per day) and if there is still no access its killed off after authorisation from management. With packets instead of taking them again you card them at the next attempt, that its you take the F/L only with the mail for that day - destroying it when you kill off the packet.bringon4dayweeks wrote:yes i should have bobbed back a few times or five to see if the gate was still closed because ive got time to do thatmerrers1985 wrote:You shouldn't do what this fella does you should deliver the card when the gate is open.

I see DHL and others wrapping their equivalents of 739s around door handles and gates all the time. He's just following Moya's mantra - that we should be able to operate freely like our competitors (ie, do whatever we want)merrers1985 wrote:You shouldn't do what this fella does you should deliver the card when the gate is open.

Every attempt has to be made to contact the building occupants/owners.
A letter has to be delivered to the address informing them of access issues.
RTS is a last resort when all else has failed.
And for any property where such a letter hasn't been delivered, any failed mail has to be retrospectively recorded on their precious DODR.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

1 attempt, RTS. 100+ a week. Amazingly it often takes months before they realise they haven't been getting any mail.clashcityrocker wrote:... RTS is a last resort when all else has failed.
