Once u finshed delivery do u give 739 packets second chance

[twoloops]

No need if it was tracked or signed for on the doorstep?

I agree that you should always try to get the 739 back in the situation you've described (and I've done it myself), but when
you're tasked with a re-delivery do you ask for the 739 back also?[/quote]

No need in this case really as the redelivery will be logged on the CLIO system with the date of redelivery also logged.

Say for example u finsh ur delivery between 12pm-2pm. Do u go back to the houses to try get rid of the 739 packets/specials. (if it's before 1pm I try get rid of the 739 specials) ?

I did a double take! Finish at 1pm? I'm barely half way round by then. Then I noticed the post is 7 years old.

Mind you I didn't finish that early even then.

As normal practice, no, however I have rarely done so if for example I'm passing the house again for some reason & I see a car that wasn't there before or some activity inside.

It's more hassle to bring them back, clear them out of van walk them all the way to the other side of building & put them in their appropriate york to be booked in than it is to deliver them... and as I said I'd only do it if I was passing the house again & felt confident someone was home.

If I finish a bit early I'll go round trying packets again to take me too me time.

I didn't even notice, 7 years ago would have been before van share wouldn't it?

I definitly never would have tried a house again for the simple fact that you never would have walked past the same house twice.

I'm not even a postie but I can smell trouble even now. What if a customer takes that 739 to the office and there's no item, you should ask for the 739 back.

i can understand the reason why the original poster trys to get rid of the parcels,,,,,but the quote above has happened,,,,they claim the parcel has never arrived

PDA will cover that so no excuses, if you are passing anyway i see no reason not to deliver the parcel of course get the 739 back if poss. As a life rule i treat others how i would like to be treated. My regular postie used to redeliver if she saw my car and i always gave her £20 at xmas pity she moved, we now have a new postie every other week and i go to the sorting office to collect them.

Nah

It just creates more confusion for customers. The customers should always know what time I arrive as I tend to do the route the same way everyday. If they decide to go out then and they miss their parcel then obviously they weren't that bothered about receiving it in the first place.

True, there are a few that do work. Most of those are on the social though and can't be bothered to get out of bed and open the door. Half of them are still in their PJs picking their sprogs up from school at 3pm
