You don't get many parcels, tracked items, recordeds, specials in postboxes. They are the things that make an easy day and heavy day.interesting wrote:Was a bit lighter today , not by much

I hope we can but the opposition are in trouble and I reckon we will be bailing them out which will cause us problems. Let them stew in their own mess.

Ive given up hope now
On a day where we have less hours they send out more mail (bulk, every house) and we have less hours on Monday and Tuesday too and d2ds, they have no frogging chance now, we've had enough

A totally horrendous day! Packets and parcels galore, 4 trays of mech mail plus loads of flats. Feel absolutely cream crackered, can't take much more, thank god I've only got 2 more days of delivery.

Re: How busy will the next few days be?
Last wagon came in work this am at 9 0'clock, as Chester mail centre had no drivers to get the stuff to us. Managers sent us out at 8.45, so we have got most of Saturdays mech mail and loads of packets for Monday. Also a manager at the mail centre said to a wagon driver, there's you wagon and go Blaenau Ffestiniog. When he got there, found there was nothing loaded on it at all.

Tracked might get a little more busy then it has been but specials will probably go through the roof, especially on Wednesday

Hoping the next few days are steady. Parcels will be busy till the very last. As above expect 10+ specials on weds.
