Anyone else having to use red cards as they haven’t supplied us with enough blue ones.
Or is it a ploy, to make sure we get rid of the parcels and not bring any back.
Hmmm, makes you wonder.

We haven't had blue 739s for the last couple of years, and no sign or mention of them this year. Shame as I loved using them in July :crazy:
Royal Mail
failing the workforce, failing the public and deliberately failing mail on a daily basis for too many years.

I've often thought that in the future we'll only be allowed cards per number of specials, 8 specials = 8 cards everything else must be 'delivered'

Knowing management, making you feel like you have to get rid of the parcels because you don’t have the correct paperwork.
Trying the guilt trip.

Our office ran out of the blue cards after about a week. We've been told to use the red ones and amend the times on them. Ive switched to using the little square ones when I leave stuff with the neighbour. By doing this, Ive manage to keep a small reserve of the blue ones

We usually have loads left over of the blue Xmas cards. We are only a small office with eleven walks though.
