I never do this, always a 739 card if they are not in. This is yet another RM senior management bad decision and it's only to stop the piling up of parcels at the depot because you're out delivering later so you miss all the customers.
CUT OFF!!!

Phantom. ''Tis to be hoped that you are not I an office where the managers check. It is part of YOUR job to deliver to neighbour if possible!! We've had posties hauled in front of management on conduct when managers have subsequently discovered the lack of DTN attempt!!

Don't have the time, I would have to leave a loop or two everyday in order to do this. And if you don't feel its a safe place, you don't do it.Boris111 wrote:Phantom.

Delivery to Neighbour is now a Royal Mail standard that ALL delivery staff should be utilising to deliver first time every time. There is no reason for anyone to be bringing back scores of undelivered iterms. We should all be aiming to achieve 100% first time delivery rates for all items not exempt from Delivery to Neighbour.Phantom wrote:I never do this, always a 739 card if they are not in.

To choose not to do it because you personally don't agree or you simply can't be bothered is not acceptable and should rightly be subject to the conduct code.

I'm afraid it's not part of the job if you don't think it's a safe place. Time has not been built in to delivery to cater for this and management know it.Boris111 wrote:Phantom.

So to avoid "bringing back scores of undelivered iterms (sic)" "we should all be aiming to achieve 100% first time delivery rates for all items not exempt from Delivery to Neighbour" and is that even on deep rural duties where the neighbour is probably a quarter of a mile away ?

Claiming you don't have time to do it is a poor excuse. It can be quicker to deliver a parcel to a neighbour who is at their door offering to take the item in than the time taken to write out a P739 and deal with undelivered items on your return to the delivery office.Phantom wrote:Don't have the time, I would have to leave a loop or two everyday in order to do this.

The only items that can be left in a designated safe place are tracked items but only if it is stated on the item and the safe place is secure. If it is not then you should try delivering to a neighbour.

SierraOscarBravo have you by any chance got all your COURIER magazines stored in date order, each in their own little plastic wallet?
All your posts read VERY familiar.

Be sensible. Clearly if the delivery point is an isolated property in the middle of nowhere with no neighbouring properties in close proximity, then what do you think you should do?Lounge Lizard wrote:SOB,SierraOscarBravo wrote:Delivery to Neighbour is now a Royal Mail standard that ALL delivery staff should be utilising to deliver first time every time.

Think SOB actually sounds like a Parody account to be honest most managers don't talk all the drivel
At our office we now have managers checking our tracked to see if we bought any back and why we didn't try up to ten neighbours
Not sure where I'm supposed to find the time from.

Delivering to neighbours used to be OK to start with but now it doesn't happen because they have had enough of being used as a delivery point for the same people who order shitloads and are never in.
Even Couriors have resorted to throwing parcels over gates and doorstepping.

Probably your best bet is to do it, then cut off when you run out of time. It just means you'll leave just as much if not more through cutting offNickvilla20 wrote:Think SOB actually sounds like a Parody account to be honest most managers don't talk all the drivel
