I've also done the "sorry, the PDA is broken, can you sign on this card" thing when I've been late, but only when I've been late by <15 mins. If the customer is home, there's next to no chance they'll ever complain. Most of the time they wont realise it was timed, or wont care. Obviously it's risky, but it's your word against theirs, and the 3 or 4 times I've ever done this, nothing has happened. Still, I wouldn't recommend doing this.
When i was on lighy duties the cage found a special and it was after 1. So the linos told me to take it and sign using paper they also said if they are not in put the p739 down has 12.50.
This is so dodgy, and so easy to get caught out and humiliated on YouTube as a cheating postie, now that so many homeowners have cctv. I'd never do that myself, thankfully never been asked to. I don't believe any manager would take the blame if you got caught out while following that instruction.
Forgot to add they told me to do it logged in has the lino

CPT, I've seen them as well, it's comical seeing someone going hell for leather to deliver a cheap
mobile phone cover or charging plug before 1pm. It's been highlighted before, answer from
Helen Williams (Service Improvement Manager) to a letter in July 2014 Courier states:
"....With regard to the USPS item you refer to, I can confirm that we do not have to deliver these items, or
any other inbound international items, to a specific time."

They are handed over from the Specials locker, but they aren't specials. We also get redeliveries from the locker there is no time limit on them either. Its just the process Royal Mail decided at some point to use and haven't changed. I suppose they could go in the same stream as tracked if they wanted.

Let's hope they should cut you some slack,and not make a thing of it,I have to cut off when lapsing to accommodate these special deliveries by one o clock it's not ideal,as long as your aware ,can't believe it would be a sackable offence surely??
they also said if they are not in put the p739 down has 12.50.
from then on I place a card (from the yorks) in the frame to remind me there's a special. takes seconds never done it since.
