Simon wants delivery working around the clock?

Post by 2yearpostie »

So on another thread Super Si is complaining the vans are only used for 6 hours a day.

Looks like hes trying to eye up a way to use them round the clock which I guess would mean later delivery times for some of us.

How do feel about this 'team' ???

He also wants 100% 1st time delivery of everything.
He's one of a kind in our Si.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Simon 'Don't leave it there but cause I want 100% 1st time delivery...' Thompson

Of course, with delivery, we do need to think of both customers, that's the posting customer or the retailer, and the receiving customer the doorstep.

With safe place, there are two official ways that safe place can be done. The first one is some posting customers offer it at the time of order. And in this case, it will be on the label. And the second one is for receiving customers can request and in flight safe place. And this will be shown on the PDA I actually did this myself on our new app this morning. And I have to say it was very easy to do so well done to the app team.

But even though we've spent nearly 70 million pounds on new PDAs The truth is our denial of receipt is not coming down fast enough. So there's definitely more work to be done.

Also, when I was out on a walk before Christmas, the OPG and I talked a huge amount about the principle of KYC, which is a banking phrase actually for know your customer.

And I said at the time, sometimes what the customers want, and what you're allowed to do is different.

And I think that puts everyone in a really awkward spot.

What's the point in KYC if in future you can't leave a parcel in the safe place you've used for years if they've not requested it via an inflight request? It should be UYC - Upset Your Customer

The customer is the person/business sending an item, not the person/business receiving it

Not as far as Simon's concerned when he refers to the postie & KYC when referring to his role, unless I'm completely misreading what he's saying.
