Sky Magazines

Post by beanmuncha »

We all get Sky mags in near the end of the month what i want to know is why do we only have 2 days in which to deliver them? The mags were given to us on fri 28.12 but they were there on thurs why not put them out earlier and spread the load? is this the same all over? :chuckle

Personally dont see why people get their knickers in a twist with sky mags. They are not for every door, and are nowhere near as bulky as when sky first started. For me estate agents and the local gym are far worse. Every bloody door AND loads of kill offs to boot.GRRRRRR!!

I don't like it when company tell us to deliver Item X on Day X. I would prefer to have an option to deliver Item X by end of week to spread workload. We don't care about marketing planning stuff.

If they specify which date to deliver them on then they shpuld pay the Special Delivery fee for each one.
