Does Jubilee have a flat sorting machine?
Yes, but it doesn't do a lot. About 85 - 90 % of our f;ats come in unsorted :evil/mad
That's unusual, most MCs that have them run whatever they can through them, even small parcels that will fit

I think to be fair the problem is not with the machine. The problem is that with all of the closures there is far too much work for the machine

Bundled magazines aren't going through any machine.
A full sleeved york of packets haven't been sorted by machine.

If we just got loads of stuff for DO's nearby, i would say it's just sloppy sorting on packet frames - but it isn't we get tonnes of stuff for KT, GU and an unreal amount for SW London postcodes.

As for machined stuff - in this day an age if a machine can't spot the difference between TW7/ TW8 and TN7 and TN8 - those offices in Kent must wonder where their mail goes as we get s**t loads and i would guess it's probably the same for other TW DO's.
It's been an ongoing big issue for years with it only seemingly getting worse.
