Delivering to schools now

Post by POSTMAN »

Many schools will be closed across UK from Friday, do we record them as USO Exceptions to notify them we are holding their mail?

No. Since the announcement yesterday, we have been receiving an increasing number call from schools to make applications for either our Business Keepsafe or Business Redirection service depending on their requirements.

Therefore, you will receive the walkcard and labels in the daily Redirection pouch in the next few days. You may also have received a CRT instruction from our Customer Experience teams that setup both services, asking you to hold mail for the school pending the receipt of the walkcard and labels instructions.

If a school;
• remains open for children of key workers, or the school is open and staffed in some way e.g. caretaker, office open then continue to deliver mail as normal.
• is closed but there is a letterbox we can use – use it, and P739 attendance items
• completely closed, no one on site and no letterbox, log on USO SharePoint and a letter to notify them we have their mail held for the next 5 days pending our receipt of their application for a Business Keepsafe or Business Redirection service.

If DOMs have already been contacted by schools directly, requesting alternative arrangements for them to access their mail, create cases on USO SharePoint to confirm we can put those arrangements in place.

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

Completly closed and no application for a Keepsafe.

Whatever you do normally during the holidays when schools don't get a Keepsafe?

So either they pay for a service or it is RTS?
Why don't we just do it for free in these difficult times?
Like we used to.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Because it is no longer a customer service job.
It is all about profit. Top knobs just want more, as usual. Sod the customer.
