d2d prep time

I have never done any Charity bags!

On second thought, I have not done any officially except the ones I have had to push into the letter box whilst delivering mail...

I suspect many OPGs deliver a lot of D2D as charity bags i.e. they prep they on unpaid overtime, coming in early or staying behind, outside contract hours!

if you don't nest them then you lose time outdoors by filtering through 12 lots of D2Ds at each door and looking for mail as well. so the time is still there. you don't save.

But what if there's a miss-sort inside the nest?

I just keep all the mail to one side of the D2D's - no time lost.

also it is far more time consuming trying to throw your mail in when you have 6 sets of D2Ds crammed in a frame. if its double slots then theres 240 items in each row of the column. you have to pull the D2Ds to one side just to look see where the slot divider is. and if its a heavy day, its very time consuming. nesting any day for me. and the DOM couldn't care less.

Took me an hour to prep 4 sets today - hence No Parcels, No Flex, (Whats that anyway?) No Knock-ons ! Job's a good-un !!!

charity bags we have quite often and they are a right pain to hold on to as they slide about and you try putting them in a double slot , best thing is to chuck them in your trolley and take them out at every house

Don't nest d2ds, if the DOM gets a bollocking from higher up about items being nested, they'll deny having given permission for you to nest and will give you a bollocking
