So it's official - packets are more important than mail
The management response this morning to 'can't complete' complaints was make sure all the packets are delivered don't worry about the mail, apparently this is from higher up executives.

Other way for us mate,leave packets ,they said as I think it is easier to get someone to do them than it is to do a couple of loopsHitcher wrote:The management response this morning to 'can't complete' complaints was make sure all the packets are delivered don't worry about the mail, apparently this is from higher up executives.

Really! Ours dont seem to have got the memo when i left at 2:30 we still had 10 yorks of packets left. The managers were concentrating on them smaller things, them letter things. Their gonna feel silly tomorrow if they should have done the parcels!Hitcher wrote:The management response this morning to 'can't complete' complaints was make sure all the packets are delivered don't worry about the mail, apparently this is from higher up executives.

It won't be long before mail will be delivered maybe 3 days a week and Packets 7 days a week.

Re: So it's official - packets are more important than mail
Mail must be delivered as obligated under the USO, otherwise massively fined. The pkts arn't under the USO so can be left. We've had this argument before, the price of postage of pkts in comparison to letters, but that's how it is! Like people have said, RM say pkts are our expanding business, & yet show total disregard for them, making no provision for them!

Re: So it's official - packets are more important than mail
Today we had to sort and deliver a bulk posting of matalan books which put us behind an hour on leaving and had to cut off parcels at the end to finish on time. Its about time managers managed the days mail and let us do this cheap mail in 2 days , after all ,other offices might get their matalans 2 days later so whats the rush.
No investment has gone into packets, trying to get 3 sackfuls into 1 while they just pile up and spew into other bags , the manager watching on / while playing with his phone. Yet dsa and d2d get priority. Hermes and dhl etc must be laughing at us .

I'm afraid to inform you that you are incorrect.dazzlin72 wrote:Mail must be delivered as obligated under the USO, otherwise massively fined. The pkts arn't under the USO so can be left.
The USO covers First and Second Class retail letters (letters, large letters and packets), Second Class retail parcels, bulk First and Second Class letters, Special Delivery (secure and insured) and International Outbound and Inbound mail.

I think you'll find D2Ds are the priority, we're never allowed to leave them!

'EVERYTHING' is priority,what comes in must (or at least should) go out.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

"All you need is love" what a load of bollocks what amazes me reading these threads is that no one is letting the CEO know of these common practices.You cant be sacked for "Whistle Blo
