we love parcels (didn't see this in ad)

[tasam]

As said elsewhere on another thread, the sense of humour bus passed you by sussexlad.
I think you're missing the point about the thread on this one.
We have loads of packets/mail left in the office, and the sarcasm is rife about RM's advert too. No one is complaining in our office about how many packets people are getting. They're complaining about the fact that they are not being delivered due to lack of "resources" etc, so you're more than welcome to come to our office to deliver all the packets/parcels etc not taken out, or come set fire to them, as you suggest others should do, not that you should do that - criminal damage etc.

Resources or effort?

Resources.

If the office won't have enough people/vehicles then all parcels can't be delivered.
There's only so much space in the 'little' vans.

Resources, there is more than enough effort put in to what we do.
Methinks you are beginning to sound like a manager.

No chance, maybe it's just after 21 years I find myself more and more surrounded by lazy ****s

You shouldn't really be listening in to the daily conference call then.

Yes, indeed. Why leave a mailing campaign so late into the christmas pressure? I am sure the marketing team know what they are doing

I couldn't agree more.
They should have been sent out weeks ago, Instead the lunatics at the marketing department had a brain fart and said I know lets get our Posties to deliver one of these stupid little leaflets to every address (for my round nearly 500 drops) on their frame at the heaviest time of the year.
What a bunch of baffoons, you can tell that they don't have to go and deliver mail.
I hope one of them reads this and seriously takes note, it is far from funny.
Whilst I appreciate it is our jobs to deliver the mail and that is what keeps us in a job, why make it harder at this time of year?

[Lincox]

Because Moya is screaming at the thought of giving us 200 squid (prorata mind you).

[jaylime]

The "We Love Parcels" letters came to late for the IPS so didn't go out. I suggested the DIM send them back to the Mail Centre for mech sorting. On return to the office they were still there unsorted, perhaps our two guys on nights will do them!

even our mech came unsorted this morning,we are an afterthought out here in the sticks.

If you think YOU are an afterthought, have some feeling for those forlorn unsorted LETTERS;
now that parcels get all our love

Only 500!
You lucky sod you, between my partner and I we deliver around 1,500-1,600 approx.

I won't go into the Four Yorkshiremen mode...

[mardenq]

near 700 of them yesterday for me.hct duty ,took me five and a half hours to do with all the pkts

[Lounge Lizard]

LOOOOOOL the arsehole gets new staff for packet deliveries and puts them on walks, two hire vans not being used LOLOLOL

Hire vans are usually for replacing the red ones written off on the snow and ice but it's been unusually good weather so far.

My sincere thanks to the Moya's Marketing Minion for coming up with red D2D telling the public we love parcels just as most of the punters have already posted their packets, sorry, I mean parcels.
I really enjoyed sorting 650 of them onto the frame, then doing IPS, then eventually knocking the mech in, before setting off at 11.30 - and we weren't last out either
Got so fed up with punters saying ""Oooohh you're late"" ended up telling them that it was the next day's delivery early. Some actually believed me
And finally (while I'm still in rant mode) what genius in Fleet came with the idea of purchasing Peugeot Bipper vans? Fine for single crew use but double crewed there ain't no room for packets once the mail's in. Hmmmmm maybe not such a bad idea though!

red d2d ours were first class

Another faux par by royal mail all these people who did this should be fired but if it was up to me I would shoot them all! Will not make our walks any easier but will put my mind at rest for a week or two!

[OnAFlyer]

So, on Monday we have this bulk posting to deal with. Plus half today's sequencing as the machines were going to be so late finishing we were told to go out as we wouldn't complete if waiting for it. Plus all Mondays sequencing.

That's irrelevant though, cos it's just the non-existent letters and we love parcels. Well, apart from the 2 cages full that have been next to one of the frames for at least 3 days, were still there today at finish time even though loads of people got done early, and still will be there on Monday because the posties working tomorrow are sorting mail centre stuff and won't be sent out with those oh-so-important parcels.

A parcel business, really Moya? Then you'd better start realising how these parcels and customers are being treated and let down, all because RM, the company you run, is are trying to do Christmas on the cheap.

Delivering Christmas? Yeah, eventually,
