Leave packets so you can lapse

No they can not do this packets under 20kg is covered under the uso

USO doesnt mention 20kg

What is a universal postal service?

EU Directive 97/67/EC set up a new EU framework for the regulation of postal services, which ensured the provision of a universal postal service in each member state. This defined the minimum characteristics of this universal service as:
•one collection from appropriate access points every working day
•one delivery to all addresses every working day
•to include postal items and packages up to 20 kilograms; plus
•a service for registered items and insured items

the uk legislation doesnt put a maximum weight on it, it actually states all postal packets in fact the UK USO is more stringent that the minimum EU requirements

The Act went further than the 1997 Directive by defining Saturday as a working day, so Royal Mail is required to deliver letters on six days a week (the universal service for parcels is delivery on five days a week, Monday to Friday). your out of date it changed

Who cares what they ask you to do, just take it to your time and leave whatever they want. We roll our packets over for days and days at Christmas.

USO doesnt mention 20kg

You say this

[IcanthelpthewayIam]

Exactly, at no point does it state that only packets under 20kg are covered, the uso at no point mentions a weight limit on parcels covered by uso, they all are

[Bahia Feliz]

Lapsing is not supposed to be used to cover sick leave.

sorry where about does it state that?

The 2014 Agenda for Growth agreement states very clearly that lapsing should be considered in relation to predicted mail volumes and specifically states it MUST NOT be used to cover staffing problems.
