We get quite a lot the day before on vehicles at 1300, 1700 and 2200. This is the MS2&3 + some DSA and 2c packets. This means by the time the first lorry in the morning comes at about 0430 (1st wave sequenced is on this) we probably have 80% of the mail. The main difference is with walk sequencing there is a lot more of the mech letters on the second wave than before. It is probably about 60/40 now where as before it was 90/10, with most people just getting one small bundle on the last vehicle.

We are also a small office about 1 hr from the MC. The mail that comes over the day before comes on the vehicles that take the collections to the MC. Do you not have collections in your office? If you are getting crap service from your MC and offices are failing then the DSM should be kicking some arse in the MC

We are a small office.

First lorry in around 5.30am followed by the last at around 8.30am. I normally get 2 meched trays on the first run and another on the last. Plus flats and what we ips of course.
