Special deliveries 1pm
Am I right in thinking we cannot give special deliveries to neighbours if they are not in?

The PDA won't allow you to deliver to neighbour.

Re: Special deliveries 1pm
Only a few days ago I was asked to take in a SD for my next door neighbour. He left her a card, and she came around to collect it. This will have just showed as “delivered” on the system, so I guess the postie would have been in trouble if there had been any issues!

Strictly against the rules, but does the postie know you're a postie? Perhaps that was his misguided thinkingLockardian wrote: ↑06 Aug 2021, 12:13Only a few days ago I was asked to take in a SD for my next door neighbour.

As yellowbelly says - completely against the rules. Special Deliveries are not meant to be left with neighbours.Lockardian wrote: ↑06 Aug 2021, 12:13Only a few days ago I was asked to take in a SD for my next door neighbour.

Re: Special deliveries 1pm
I’m not a postie - I work in a mail centre (some miles away that doesn’t deal with my local DO), so I’d be very surprised if he knew this! There was no problem on this occasion, but it’s a bit worrying if this happens regularly in my area.yellowbelly wrote: ↑06 Aug 2021, 13:50Strictly against the rules, but does the postie know you're a postie?
