who decide's what D2D's we have

[doorstepped]

we have a D2D for a new Hobbycraft shop opening in a nearby town, says on the front, first 100 people to buy something will get a free gift.

good offer I hear you say.

however the opening was TODAY at 9am

the D2D's are next weeks

we ( the posties ) are made to look stupid in the public's eyes by someone who does not know their arse from their elbow in the distribution centre.

But if the delivery date on them is 3/12/12 then it's most likely Hobbycraft not got the leaflets ready in time rather than Royal Mail delaying them.

this is not the only time this has happened, we also delivered BT ones that said " enjoy 2012 olympics on BT vision box " again they were sent out a day after the olympics finished.
this time it even made the local papers ( abeit via a reporters blog )

trading standards could be interested in the hobby shop for saying that

I once delivered D2D for an artificial lawn company on a delivery where 90% of the addresses were terraced houses and flats with no gardens.

When I asked the DOM at the time about it, he responded, 'if the customer wants them delivered, then we have to deliver them.'

WTF???

Also, when we have 3, 4, 5 or sometimes 6 D2D items, how are we supposed to deliver them loose and not with the small ones inside the bigger ones (as pointed out in the most recent Courier)???

Another case of Administrators who have never been posties making decisions for posties - jeeessh, don't you wish we had a union sometimes!

They are always going to have to be delivered loose, do you really think RM's customers (the people sending the d2ds) would pay for d2d if either they got put in an envelope or the smaller ones got placed inside of the bigger ones?

The minimum order is 5,000 residences, and although most Postcode Districts or Sectors will have a majority of residences with gardens most will also include an area of terraced houses and flats with no gardens.

Easy. Put them on your bench, take one off each pile put it on top of the next one then put them into the slot. My manager hates this, but it's the correct procedure. Only a few posties do it in my office. I love getting 6, I just leave more mail for him to get delivered. Duties were supposed to have been adjusted to allow for this
