Safeplaced a tracked item 2 weeks ago...

Post by Mark_Law22 »

Hi,

I safe placed a tracked item about 2 weeks ago for a house as we are being encouraged to get rid of all tracked. I left a slip saying where it was. However i checked today and that tracked item is still where i left it.
Should i tell a manager? Knock on the door again? Just say and do nothing?

Are you f***ing crazy? :roll:
Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

Wouldn't have done any harm to put a reminder 739 through, can't see it would make any difference or make matters worse. :Very Happy

Was it in the safe place as designated by the sender and printed un the safe place box on the tracked label?

if its in the designated safe place that the customer has notified your delivery office, you have nothing to worry about

Tracked should only go in the safe place the customer (the sender) has printed on the appropriate part of the label it's shouldn't be left anywhere else even if the recipient has notified the delivery office of somewhere else to leave items

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

"safeplace" should be renamed "place you want parcel to be left, with any loss of item(s) at your own risk"

In our office they tell us to leave a tracked almost anywhere, and if anything goes missing they will back you.... If something went missing the dim would be rubbing his hands with glee at the prospect of an easy sacking. :cuppa

He says leave it in gardens, behind bins, in bins, anywhere. And then proceeded to tell us how he put a tracked himself under an upside down recycle box. Where do they get these people from?
