Tracked items

Post by boogyman »

Looking for advice on tracked items: simple explanation on front of item saying not to deliver to neighbour. If I deliver to neighbour then they say they haven't received who will be to blame ?

Been told by management you can deliver to neighbour even though it says not to.

You will be - they have opted out of DTN (the sender) so it won't affect the First Time Delivery Scores. At least thats how it was explained to me when I asked about it.

If it says Do not deliver to neighbour then don't.
Mine, personally is, P739 the item, even more so if it needs a signature, and return it to the office.
Better safe than sorry in my view.

That's what I did 739 and took it back, only management said I should have delivered.

Wabbithunta: told management this !! They said they've had email from up above to say we have to deliver, well it needed a signature and know one in so I 739'd because clearly said not to deliver to neighbour but management adamant I should have tried neighbour. I would like an official statement from union on this.

Rubbish!!! The e-mail I've seen says that these items are NOT TO BE DELIVERED TO NEIGHBOUR. They don't count on the FTD score. Not in = P739. No debate

Most managers are being c***s when it comes to this 1st time bollox( :wave fuckwads)
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

You must be on about those ticketmaster tracked items , they will post easily but they need a signature. We 739 them always to keep the SENDER happy not the linos.
Why are lino's paid full-time ??

What is the lastest on ticketmaster tracked items, haven't seen any for ages but was always told never to deliver these to a neighbour but haven't seen any over the last 3 or 4 months since the hullabaloo started on getting every tracked item delivered?

They also clearly state
Do Not Deliver To Neighbour. So does management tell anyone to deliver these too?

Anything that needs a signature I always leave a P739 for, if nobody is in at the recipients address. I cite "local knowledge" etc to management.
