Door to Doors

[abuch1980]

QQ.. Are most offices clearing there's by Saturday now ? Or are just taking them when we have a stamped letter for that address. ???

rolling over into following week

[clashcityrocker]

All clear by the end of the week.

I'm pretty sure when the customer takes out the contract it's specified it'll be delivered in that specific week, however at our place we're still rolling them over into following weeks if there's no mail for the same address, no one has been pulled for it, presumably the manager can't be arsed which is also his attitude to most aspects of his job, maybe if a customer ever complains that may change.

I wouldn't blame any postie that leaves them in the frame for the following week even if they aren't on that duty the next week. Should only take them were you are going to anyway is my philosophy. Unless of course their is a date the offer on the flyer expires then it's got to go out ?

[kazardaimenu]

I have a growing pile of them next to my frame. I’m on a part time contract and been going over or just in time on delivery every day. Meant to be having the duty prepped in for me getting in during the summer but that only happens half the time and the door to doors are never touched. Don’t think any will be getting delivered until I’m back on earlies or the night shift staff get bored.

We have been told no rolling over have to be cleared every week (every office is different what a surprise)

[abuch1980]

every office.. and every postie does the duties differently!

I tell my manager I ain’t got time to throw them in.
So he throws them in for me. I then take them throughout the week but only where I’m going that given day. They’re gone by the end of week every time.

Nobody cares anymore, do as you please.

Launching them straight onto the york of "excess" d2ds..

How about throwing them in yourself and then cutting off because you haven't got enough time to complete your outdoor work?

Much easier to throw D2D's in than pound the street for an extra 20-30 minutes each day.

True and while you have a point and I do know exactly why you’re saying that, we know the reality is a little bit different.
700+ drops 2/3 door to doors doesn’t take 20 mins, more like 1-1/2 hours. Personally hate throwing them in too.

[fed_up_postie]

Any not done in our office are cleared up on the Sunday by the postie who's turn it is to put the new ones out, no idea where they end up but would guess in the biffa bins in the yard

20% per day is around 20-30 minutes and if you manager is doing them they are then fudging the office hours and doing OPG work which is against the rules.

Personally would prefer to do that 30 minutes indoors than carrying a bag for an extra 30 outdoors. This is why the company is in such a mess, no one wants to do exactly what they are supposed to do just their own interpretation of what's supposed to be done.
