Also on low level flaps I make sure I fold and push the letters through so they get stack and the owners with brilliant ideas to fit a low level flap will have to bend to pick them up. It`s the least I can do for their backs, return the favour.

They have to bend to pick them up whether the letters get stuck or not, they have to bend to pick them up with most waist level letterboxes too, as the letters fall onto the floor.

Yes but they also have to unstuck the letters from the low level ones, especially the metal ones with hard springs, I hate those and I`ll never put my fingers through them.
So double the bending for them

Make sure when you take you sick leave & struggling for an excuse use bad back & low level letterboxes

Anyone know if this is this the correct procedure?

I P739 virtually everything for L.L.L.Bs.

(Just thought I'd ask on here as sick of asking my DOM)

you have to bend down to post the 739

If they are not in just date it (endorsed it) & take it back, it will go eventually, it's not worth damaging your back.

If you cannot deliver to an address point for whatever reason the correct procedure is to inform the DOM on your return to the delivery office. They then have deal with it.

ANOTHER one put in on my walk today, I told them about the law change but it is not going to be until 2020 at the earliest.

The law change will only affect new builds

Does that mean that older houses can just change the front door and then put a low level in then?

Not good.

A large wall box has now been put up...the guy doing the door must have passed on my concerns.
I feel guilty now
