No longer have the 'pleasure' of this publication, as they don't send it to me now. :dance

But I take it I'm not missing anything......except more propaganda obviously. :speak to the hand

What difference does the time make, the postie concerned is obviously a retard. Why phone a f*cking manager, just rescan it and get it signed for!

What a tit standing there with a special in his hand telling a customer he'd have to go and get it from a post office. I'm suprised some RM employees remember to breathe.

I think under your scenario the special delivery would then subsequently fail if it had been notice left on time. I believe rescanning just updates the first attempt time.

The sender would then be eligible for compensation and the postie would be conducted.

If you are unsure about anything regarding delivery pass the hassle to your line manager. It's what they are paid for.

The article about the van restoration was an absolute joke............ apparently a good valet, reupholstered seats and new mats will stop breakdowns.

Were they short on news, or do they just assume posties are thick - don't answer that, I already know the answer :Very Happy
I am no longer a number :-)

I'm under the scenario the postie involved is a 'tard. He'd just been knocking on the door so its extremely unlikely it was after 1 anyway, and even if it was he'd already scanned it before 1 so it wouldn't matter.

Telling a customer they'll have to go to a PO to collect something you are stood in front of them with is absolutely ridiculous. No wonder half the public constantly moan about us.

When we are building up for trouble I stop reading it as its a total windup. Mine went straight in the cat tray (the old size fitted better) cats showed what the thought.
