Stack, don’t nest
Helping this General Election run smoothly - let’s deliver Door to Door items correctly

Image

An election is coming. As the Universal Service provider, we have an obligation to deliver all election materials to every household in the UK.

It’s crucial these materials are delivered correctly. They must be placed separately, one on top of each other, through the door and not ‘nested’ – that is, placed inside each other.

If materials are found to be ‘nested’ it opens us up to criticism from political parties: they could argue we’ve been trying to hide or show political bias in how we deliver their campaign literature.

We’ve also got to consider our other Door to Door commercial customers: they don’t want to be associated with political views either way. By nesting them, you might inadvertently link that brand with those political views.

In this politically sensitive time, it is vital we provide our service to the highest standard and guarantee we are above reproach in the way we help this election run smoothly.

So, please remember: stack, don’t nest any Door to Door items.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

sort out yer SOP's and start wrapping 'em all in ecoplastic...shouldn't be hard for the age of the machine and the $ you make off em should stop pissing us about with nonsense indoor worktime. cos without nesting em into frame they get ripped and battered:-
in tie-up/
transit/
removal of bands
and walking bundle being re-shuffled all the time;
when shiny Chinese pkts slip out
and when finally rammed through the door before they spill out

(a little tip from an opg: fold the lot into their mail and post with an xmas flourish!)

...and anyways who is gonna associate the Tory party with cheap foodstuffs (chlorinated chicken) or private health care/private pensions and private insurance FFS! :left:

Won't be the only one saying this but how on earth are you expected to handle d2d's by stacking them ?. For example on my delivery I have had 17 (7,5,5) in the last 3 weeks. Add to that the awkward little polling cards that would make for some interesting juggling act !. I'm nesting regardless !.

Stacked leaflets are awkward as heck. When the nested leaflets go through most letter boxes they un-nest themselves as they fall through the air and hit the doormat.

Stacking leaflets is what is also known as doing the job properly.
There are quite a lot of people on here who go on about it quite a lot.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Too true :Applause

At a rough guess I'd say 99% of those in our office nestle the D2D's and do the managers pull them up for it?

Do they fu£k.

RM should be teaching management how to do their jobs correctly before patronising those of us OPG's who do. :evil/mad
