New P739 cards

Post by Soulazydll »

Apparently we've spoken and they've listened!? The old one was too confusing!!?
One major change from the old one, now it clearly states you can only collect your parcel 'the next working day'
What's all this about?

So if the parcel is addressed to Tom Evans, and Dick or Harry Evans turn up to collect it, who provides the ID ? :crazy:

Redeliveries are likely to go through the roof! And now redeliveries to neighbours!? So you head back out with the undelivered parcel with instructions to deliver to neighbour, what happens if their not in? Card the neighbour?
All this to offer what our competitors offer, what next? Sling over fence option? In wheelie bin option?

To stop all those people who come to collect it while you're still out on delivery!

I've been writing the next day on them for years now.

I have been putting on the cards how long (what time to allow) until I am back in the office for years and thus the time from which the packet is available for collection that day. If it aint broke don't fix it.

You being back at the office doesn't guarantee the packet will be available though.

Why not? You get back to the office and put the packet on the shelf, where it is available, (subject to opening times).
