New P739

[steven100]

Unable to gain access - stairs etc.???

[Spongebobsquare]

Yeah the only thing I can think, if say they have the box on a gate and the gate is locked.
Btw when we leave it with neighbour do we still have to fill out everything on it, name address etc or can we just out at neighbour at number 2

That's exactly what it's for.


If it is not possible to deliver an item or P739 card to a building where access is governed by a controlled entry system (such as time locks), a completed P739 card must be attached to the item, the item and P739 returned to the delivery office and a P4306 label added to the item.

You must attempt to deliver the item on each following working day (maximum 18-day period). On every occasion,the item must be taken out with the completed P739 card. If it can’t be delivered, you don’t have to complete a further P739 for every delivery attempt of the same item, but the P4306 label must be updated each day.

If and when the item can be delivered, the P739 card must be taken off the item, returned to the delivery office and destroyed.

However, if access to the building is possible but no one is available at the actual address, then the P739 card bearing the initial delivery attempt date must be delivered and the item returned to the delivery office as normal to await the addressee’s collection.

I just write on a 739 "parcel at no.8" etc,

[Lounge Lizard]

Still no box for 'parcel' as if if we don't deliver anything bigger than a 'letter' or 'packet'.

no dont fill in their name and address

[clashcityrocker]

Does the neighbour have to ask for proof of identification, just as if they were working in the callers office?
And should the workplace coach be training them all?

Wrong bringon4dayweeks.
If you cannot get access to the property you should fill in the P739,tick the box that says unable to gain access and attach it to the packet then both should be returned to the delivery office and tried again the following day.

It would be interesting to know if Brian Thorley has ever visited a delivery office with "access" problems.
The idea that anyone is going to attempt to redeliver the packet for 18 days on the trot is hysterical.
I've never seen a P4306.

what does brian thorley know about deliveries fish ?

[Stormproof]

Never seen those labels in my office and I doubt the managers have ever heard of them.

[monkeymutha]

WTF with? A stapler? Or RM issued sellotape?

[factorycat]

All we do at our office regarding "no access" is bring it back. Write N/A on the parcel and the date...... Then attempt it again the next day.

What about letters??... Do you have to fill out a p739 for every letter you bring back???...... .... Exactly.

Just endorsed the letter/packet with the date and attemp the following day.
