I might be wrong but thought this was now standard practice.

WOW your manager must be good we cannot get redirection bags stickers/labels or kill of labels never mind something I have never seen how can I get them with out asking a pompous twit who only knows his bonus size and is always on the sick.

I think it was mentioned in another thread that the redirection bags are being axed so each item has to have its own redirection sticker.

If you are making schools pay for a keepsafe when they are closed for holiday why aren't you
making the businesses that are shut over xmas pay for one as well.
Especially those with no point of delivery.

Smiffy

totally agree! we should be sending business mail back too

therefore unless theres a holiday retention or saturday retention taken out then ALL mail for that day for schools should be taken out FOR THAT DAY with no assumption that it will be closed.
if no answer at the school try neighbours both sides and opposite.

And remember the leave a 'deliver to neighbour' card.
