MRM.COM : Three-step plan : We need to work together to bring about urgent change

[A2B]

Items Shoe Box Size & above will circulate via the New Packet / Packet Hubs & LAT Delivery Offices

This has been going on so long i'd forgotten about it, any date when it starts?

The earliest it can be is once all three hubs have been built and the machinery installed. My gut feeling is that it won't be this side of xmas

I think you will find they planned to start rolling it out in certain areas once the first parcel center became live. And the 300 local parcel hubs may have indoor sorting jobs which could accommodate non drivers along with continued HCT letter only deliveries . Who knows!

If anything over shoebox size is going to be delivered by the hubs it could reduce the need for more vans at delivery office level but as you say who knows

Thanks but i don't really get the relevance, are you saying HCT's can't be used because we might have to pick up 5 x 20kg returned parcels?

The Max number of items you can collect is not mentioned , only you can collect from up to 5 addresses & the max weight of an item will not exceed 20 Kl
A job for an HCT ?

The nearest van delivery will pick up any customer collection request.

So we are all going to be collecting people's parcels, up to 5 a day....great, so what will be taken off our rounds to account for this loss of time?

Xmas in which year though?

We are underworked don’t forget so you should have plenty of time

I think they are looking down the route of owner drivers, like DPD that way no employee cost no fuel cost, no vehicle cost or maintenance.

Then sell off all their land.

They have been, the problem is you can only sell it once.

The issue with ‘we need to work together’ is it never is a case of working together. Not once have we been asked here what would make the job smoother and more efficient. There are so many basic things which a Lino could sort in a day or two if he didn’t leave at 11am to go to the golf course:

*Notes on how to tie up in the walk log.
*Maps in the walk log.
*Flat access codes in the walk log.
*Strange addresses in the walk log (eg 10 King Street which always comes addressed as Tower View, King Street)
*Properly labelled bags (eg Bag 1 King Street). Easier to identify who’s nicking them from your frame.
*Properly labelled york(s) for each round. Should be easier to work out who keeps leaving them in the yard.
*Letting more than 1 person have a key for the storeroom so if the normal woman is off you can still access it and get damaged bags, rubber bands etc.
*Streamlined approach to collecting Specials and van keys. No more having to queue twice.

And for gods sake let’s stop offering multiple free redelivery attempts. Initial attempt then 1 free redelivery then after that a small charge.

I reckon there’s 5 to 10 minutes wasted by each of us here every day, there’s 170 staff here, at best that’s a total of 14 man hours wasted every day.

+any hazards at any addresses, such as loose dogs for example

"we need to work together" would mean something if it meant "we will work together"

Sadly it will actually mean that a bunch of faceless people who just about know how to stick a stamp on an envelope will tap stuff into their computer and come up with a wonderful new way of doing things. That wonderful new way will never work in reality and money will be poured away covering all the cracks until someone else does it all again. Whatever anyone does in RM, don't ask the people that do the actual job.
