Flimsy letters jam in the machines too easily, also any shiny card letters get rejected by CSS machines on 2nd passes
And they keep telling us Technology is the way forward....perhaps RM should stop accepting just any rubbish from "Customers" and insist on an Industry standard? I swear they'd have us delivering Dog Shite in Paper cups if they got paid for it. Dickheads. :arrrghhh

So they should be rejected. How hard can it be for Royal Mail to stipulate size and weight ? Week after week we get flimsy door to doors that rip or turn to pulp in wet weather. Poll cards are a nightmare to separate and the ink runs when they get wet. We've had ROUND door to doors and last week an otherwise decent leaflet had a Penguin sticking up. Very few penguins were still attached when they went through the doors. I had a load of penguin heads in my bag when I got back.
Sorry NPUK that'll teach me to finish reading all the comments before I gob off! :d'oh! However I agree with your point we shouldn't be expected to just accept any shite the advertising idiots decide to send... circles...star shapes..recycled cheap paper...shiney bastard slippery cards..... cheaply printed crap etc. :arrrghhh

Yes they want it classed as part of the normal workload, so wouldn't generate any extra payment for delivery, you just get paid for your hours worked.
Bloody Hell.
Why do think they want team working "route ownership" so you cant hand any of it back when you get bulk postings
I'm glad someone else has seen through the £200 offer by RM :cuppa
