i know the feeling, especially when someone obviously doesnt have a clue about how things should be scanned correctly, you dont confirm duties as 001c when they are delivered by PDA(unless pda has failed and used pod card as emergency), thats confirmation by default which is also banned

This whole Saturday issue does beg the question of why do we have a premium product "SG" if all Saturday specials are being treated the same? We are expected to break off from delivery to meet the 1300 deadline for any SD on a Saturday, even though managers have admitted this is not a requirement of the basic SD product, it is simply getting all SDs cleared off their computer list like any other day Mon-Fri.

Can anyone tell me how, as a customer, I can have an order delivered on a Monday, guaranteed? I'm pig sick of going home on a Saturday and finding a P739 card there, and having to go to the local office to pick up my packet on the Monday. I specifically DON'T pay for SG so it ISN'T delivered on the Saturday, yet it is, every bloody time.

In my opinion we should only take out SG's on a Saturday.

As for the OP, I can't believe someone is worried about failing a special. It happens loads these days and nothing is said.

Option 1 get the item dispatched on Saturday
Option 2 Lodge an official shut notice for Saturdays (its not just businesses that can do it)
