Other Courier's Docket Left's

sledge4882 · Post by **sledge4882** » 02 Jan 2020, 16:50

The amount of times on my duty I've seen a number of courier drivers just leaving the slip sticking out the letterbox or jam it in the doorframe. Mainly DPD are the culprits of doing this. I find it particularly annoying when you have to push the mail through the letterbox while there is a docket left sticking half out of it as I feel like I don't know whether to push it through with the mail I've got or take it out of the letterbox push the mail through then put the slip back how it kinda was. I know Hermes and Amazon got the docket lefts too but they normally post it through the mailbox.

Does anybody else have any issues or any petty gripes with these?

Haha yes know where you're coming from, don't mind so much the others equivalent of a p739, to me it's the leaflet delivery people who leave them hanging out only just held in by the letterbox that annoy me, I usually just open the letterbox as normal and let their leaflets fall on the floor but the worry is that at the same time I'm stuffing my d2ds through so there's a chance folk will think it's me that's chucking crap all over their doorsteps.

I push all the leaflets through the door even if they were left hanging, I don`t like to make a mess on the street and I can always blame the leaflets people and say the domino one wasn`t mine

don't do their job for them, leave it hanging out.

Two lads where posting an Indian take-a-way menu & just tucking it in the letterbox meaning I had to remove the menu every time I posted mail to stop it dropping on the floor, so while on the walk I phoned the take-a-way up & told the gaffa I was PC such & such & asked him if he had lads posting menus in my area, it was his Sons, I told him these menus where not being posted proper & where all over the street & there was a fine for dropping litter on the street, problem soon sorted.

That`s taking too much time and I don`t have 2 hands to hold their leaflets, push mine with the other hand then hang theirs back, easier if I just push my letters/leaflets along with theirs and I don`t litter the street this way.

I just push the mail through if they go through with it then it goes through. If not I just leave it

I lift the letterbox flap, if it falls, so be it, if it stays and gets pushed through with my mail , then so be it

Impersonating a Police Officer is a criminal offence. . . and punishable by a hefty fine or up to six months in prison. I would not recommend this approach ! Best just to go about your business and deliver the mail. If the leaflets or dockets drop to the floor... then so be it ?
