did you ever do 9am's before?
all ours were always taken out by a driver or 2 before the virus hit soon as they were ready for delivery so never a concern to the regular postie
1pm's you manage depending where on route they are, just like in the olden times

That's much earlier than our office. We went back to the normal Special Delivery Guaranteed times about a week ago.

though they won't fail but it's probably a good idea to start early especially with new posties who never had the 1pm deadline,
a good habit to get back into where it's not a bollockin if it's attempted a bit late now but can advise that it will be soon

Great when I’m covering a rural that covers nearly 70 miles and the people at the start and finish receive loads of them

Yes you can always rely on royal mail to provide a service for what the customers actually want, oh hang on no we don't actually have products that are fit for purpose these days, come on how long will it be before we catch up and take photo evidence of delivery rather than say "it's supposed to be to sign for mate but I'm still taking care of that on your behalf"
