Doorstepping or not?

Do "safeplaces" really exist? If you can gain access to place it in a "safeplace" then someone else can gain access to steal it

But if you follow that argument to its logical conclusion not even the Customer Service Point is secure because someone could gain access to it and steal stuff.
Maybe they should call it "probably safeenoughplace"

Would your CSP let people into the non-public side of it then?

Unless it's a lockable parcel box then no they don't, as if a thief decides to watch you they can simply steal the parcel from the outbuilding or greenhouse etc nominated by the customer once you're out of sight.

You sense one day in the not too distant future if a customer is not in and they don't have a lockable parcel box etc you'll be told to 739 everything.

You don't think OPGs steal?

739 and they can arrange the delivery for when they will be in. Anything else leaves you exposed.

Is ur van not full off parcels to take back to your office.
Or does it depend on your delivery area.

I have never known a member be conducted for putting a p739 through a door but...
I have known plenty be conducted for doorstepping or leaving in 'safeplaces'

Rule no.1 in this job is read up on national agreements and protect yourself because when you are sat in a conduct interview about a missing parcel the manager will NOT care that you tried to help the customer out

Merry xmas all

One other issue is if the postie ignores the safe place request on the PDA, then the packet automatically gets flagged for redelivery the next day. So night shift / early morning phg pulls the packet off the shelf and puts it with the rest of the redelivery items.

Customer then appears with their p739, wanting to get their packet. But it's either in one of several hoods full of redeliveries, or is already out on redelivery.
