" ZX 135" is correct Unexcused Delay to mail is the other alternative to wilful delay and carries a far lesser punishment if any than wilful delay which is gross misconduct and would give a viable reason for dismissal. Unexcused delay to mail would most likely mean a ticking off or counselling. Below I give an extract on unexcused delay to mail:

FURTHERMORE , ROYAL MAIL DOES RECOGNISE THAT GENUINE MISTAKES AND MISUNDERSTANDINGS DO OCCUR AND IT IS NOT THE INTENTION OF THE BUSINESS THAT SUCH CASES SHOULD BE DEALT WITH UNDER THE CONDUCT CODE BEYOND COUNSELLING FOR THE ISOLATED INSTANCE. THE KEY IS THAT EMPLOYEES SHOULD DO THEIR JOB TO THE BEST OF THEIR ABILITY AND, IF IN DOUBT , ASK FOR THEIR MANAGER'S ADVICE AND GUIDEANCE.
