Don't do it.. He is trying to boost his delivery figures.. If there is no safe place instruction on label then there is no safe place. You will be accountable for any missing items.

Why are tracked treated like specials - they only cost 40p extra to businesses! :crazy: and cost us time.
Why are lino's paid full-time ??

Let them worry about targets and don't make yourself one.

We were asked to try delivery to neighbour for Tracked items. DOM's target is 90% First Time Delivery (FTD), in line with our competitors?

Now those of us attempting delivery to neighbours are achieving approx 95%. This helps reach the DOM's target, making up nicely for those who won't do it.
If unable to deliver to neighbours we're to try re-delivery on trip back to DO, time allowing of course.

Absolutely NO doorstepping allowed in principle but of course, to reach high FTD rates in practice means leaving items in unsecure porches.
sooooooo...... Doorstep Tracked parcels in line with our competitors :roll:

Trouble is, it is always the same neighbours. My regulars are starting to fed up with it.

And out of a job when the item goes missing. There's no way I'm doorstepping when it's against the official policy.

Not our problem - RM has strict doorstepping rules so they can't have it both ways.
