Nothing don't worry yourself about it, if it is brought up, they'll probably just tell you to try to better plan/organise yourself so that they're all delivered well in time. Don't worry about it though, if it was heavy, they'll understand if you perhaps misjudged how long it would take you to deliver certain parts of your delivery.

Just say you misjudged how long it would take your PDA to do anything since the last software upgrade

Joking aside, should just be a slapped wrist at worst, don't make a habit of it though.

Having to reboot your PDA takes around 4 minutes now :)

If it happens again, stop the clock. Example, if you are stuck in traffic scan as N/A if you know you are going to be late. Then take the Reg to the customer, if they are in rescan it, if they are not, take no further action because you have already scanned it. Job done!

Probably a little risky doing that, what if something goes wrong, the manager would look at the GPS location and see that the scan wasn't done at the delivery point

Can't see it being a problem unless the customer kicks off that it wasn't delivered by 1pm.

Any scan after 1pm will go down as a failure. Stopping the clock, we've been told, is no longer an option. Say you go out your way to do before one, and they're not in, then you see them when you deliver later, you cannot then scan and deliver it if its after one. It will go down as failure. Fantastic service we give isn't it. Royal fail yet again.

Wasn't aware of that, so if you go back later then in that case & they ask for the special that you attempted to deliver earlier you have to refuse them having it ?

Yes.
The postage is automatically refunded to the sender and compensation is paid as well without question. It is our gold standard product so best not to make a mistake with them.

Really?
I do this nearly on a weekly basis with one of my customers. Never in when I first get round and I often drop it off at the end of round if I have time. Never been pulled once

Are you sure? I thought compensation was only paid if a complaint was made by the customer and the first delivery attempt was made after the deadline. Are you sure the refund is automatic?

I've done this a few times & I've never had anything come back. E.g. most weeks in WTLL our lino will announce SD failures in our particular section and it is pretty rare that we have any.

Presumed I was doing a good deed
