I can hardly see them doing that,as it would make them easier for customers to bin them , even more than they do now. How many times do you deliver,apologetically ,just D2D, to get back, "don't need this crap",straight in the bin they go!
However, they must work I suppose, otherwise they wouldn't keep sending them.
Having said all that,though , I did hear of discussions on the one envelope scenario, so I don't know.

I don't see where the problem is, D2Ds are part of the workload and should be added into your day, if you don't have time to deliver them all then you ask the manager on that day what he wants you to do, simple really.
If they came in on Saturday and you have to clear them then you are only paid to work to your time............the rest is for you manager to deal with.

if your going to bang your head against the wall in frustration you could at least try to get your sums correct! :wave

D2D is now a 6 day product, so its 16.667% that should be planned to be done every day!

ooh my facts are right :wave , in fact heres the official line from the d2d implementation documentation available in the downloads section:

• Door to Door will be planned on the basis of prepping and delivering 1/6th of the items each day of the week, Monday to Saturday.
• D2D should be the last items prepped to a frame after address mail unless there is available down time such as waiting for missorts or late arrivals.
• Whilst D2D workload will be planned on the basis of spreading it across six days a week delivery employees will have the ability to manage the delivery of the items themselves on the proviso that all items are delivered and the delivery specification is not compromised
• Whilst this may involve cold calling at some address points for which there are no other items it is the best approach overall as it is easy to understand, communicate and monitor
• D2D traffic volumes will now be entered into the Indoor Workload Tool (IWT) to calculate the workload associated with D2D.
• The standard procedure for collating and sorting D2D items varies as follows according to number of contracts:

1 or 2 Contracts
• Obtain D2D items for contract and place on bench
• Pick up handful and place one item in slot for each delivery point on that day's schedule
• Tidy away D2D
• Repeat for second contract
• Clear down D2D with ordinary mail from slots containing live mail

3 or more contracts
• Position one pile of D2D on bench for each contract
• Take item from top of each pile and place collated items in slot for each delivery point on that day's schedule
• Tidy away D2D
• Clear down D2D with ordinary mail from slots containing live mail

• A new updated call rate calculator has been issued which adjusts the call rate to take account of delivering 1/6th of D2D items each day.
• The frame should be clearly marked into 6ths (approx) so that both the regular OPG and any reserve duty can quickly identify the daily D2D requirement by road(s)

local agreement to deliver it over 5 days is fine, but DOM has to plan for it to be done over 6 days regardless

Which is almost impossible to do. I always put D2Ds in first. I think the whole office does.

impossible and takes more time, if you all done it the way it was supposed to be done it would have meant extra hours going into your office when your revision went in

I see what You mean but thers a kind of gentlemans agreement and no one gets to do any D2 D items on a Saturday except maybe clear a couple that have been covered over the week.
