Sounds a great idea. Take 90 minutes (just an estimate) off indoor work and send it outside to do on the walk, where it then adds 2 hours because you're trying to do it outside in all weathers.

Then you have the vauxhall combi back doors clouting you every time there is a bit of wind,and if you try and use the side door you will have to kneel down to try and save your back.

Didn't Moya introduce this technique in Canada, where D2D was merged on delivery, by having a a D2D and a letter bundle on the go? Or am I getting confused with the USA postal system ?
Moya also got rid of direct to door deliveries so everyone in major cities in Canada has to go pick up their post

This is the forerunner of what RM delivery system of the not too distant future will be. No DOs and bundled mail dropped off at people's homes to prep and deliver "the Dutch model"
