There is a rumour that royal mail are stopping D2D payments as from this week, so this weeks D2d are the last that you get paid for!
This rumour start this morning in our delivery office and so i questioned the DOM, whether there was any truth in it? HE ANSWERED WITH, "YOU NOW WHAT RM ARE LIKE WITH "Executive Action", so he believes that's RM next little trick of Executive Action"
I hope too high heaven this is just rumour, But like our DOM said. RM, Executive Action in the same sentence!!!!!!
So three weeks without them, then they will start putting them into a nice envelope, with a nice little RM stamp on it, and what have you got?
A big fat money printing machine and the postman shafted again!!

Bloody RUMOURS AGAIN??? RM have suspended them for 3 weeks as they cannot guarantee them being delivered whilst IA is on. That's all so don't panic

The D2Ds stop from 8 Oct 07 for 3 weeks.

Your other bt about 2 weeks your lucky we were told they all had to be done this week - for me as my day off is tomorrow that gave me 3 days. Did them all as well - honest

we got just this week too. and our manager was going round everyone telling them to "only claim for the D2D you deliver"... yeah, like we never did before

D2D deliveries may have stopped for 3 weeks but could it be the payments have stopped permanently...3 weeks is enough time to get alternative payment arrangements in place...straight into RM's bank account.

this is a good point . . . . . how many times have we been told something is just temporary just to be told later, well it's in place now so we're not changing it. . . . . we're gonna have to keep a real close watch on those D2D payments for a while

i must admit i can't figure this out,why turn business down?
it's a good source of income ,and as the D2D market is managed by TNT ,who's actually calling the shots?
(TNT Post is an official Royal Mail Agent organising and managing every campaign detail )
Nobody as yet can compete with Royal Mail,in it's ability to doordrop media to every household,so it a safe bet to
say we'll get the work back.
cynics will argue,it's another way of hitting the postman in the pocket,but why for 3 weeks?
possibilities...
as rumoured,it would be an opportunity for executive action,and they would be re-introduced into normal workload.
storage space at walk bundling centres to accomadate mail during dispute.
a window to deliver any election material if required.

maybe someone should ask TNT.

Could be Royal Mail exercising DSA and chucking it out to smaller junk mail firms...either that or RM management are totally incompetent by turning down business at a time they need it the most...

scrub that last one - its so improbable :cfo

:cfo :lfo They've suspended the d2d because of the backlog of mail the strike will generate!!!!!!!! If your'e not pi****n about with d2d you will be able to do more of the stuff we're supposed to do, i.e. push real mail thru the letter box. Bottom line! No d2d, sooner the backlog goes down. WAKE UP FFS.-------------An informative KWAK
