Can blame POSTMAN for that - he created the thread titleDGH wrote: ↑15 Aug 2022, 16:50This is the only way it'd work. Simon has some ludicrous ideas, no doubt (or other people have them for him), but his comment doesn't mention us packing and I think some people are, on this occasion, grabbing the wrong end of the wrong stick.cheesetoastie wrote: ↑15 Aug 2022, 14:07I think we have picked up the idea wrong! Surely we deliver a flat pack box with a prepaid sticker . The customer packs the item, fixes the sticker to the box then we collect later in the day or next day! Can't see us having to physically pack the item their and then! As highlighted compo claims would be through the roof

To remove any doubt as to what our Si is hallucinating about

Personally I think we should table some outrageous demands to counter these fever dream delusions of RM"s.
Also for sh***s and giggles.
Demand 1
A member of the board to kiss each of us goodbye as we leave the office. During Covid this will be replaced by an affectionate tousling of the hair.
Demand 2
Rocky McOrally to do a salacious celebratory dance clad in RM issue budgie smugglers and baby oil on the occasion of an office clearing.
Please add your own

Why not turn the now vacant caller's office into a jumble sale shop and sell all the stuff that we collect ?

Imagine if you're on a walk which using an HCT what are you supposed to do, take a variety of flat pack boxes and tape with you in your HCT, then pack whatever item is passed to you on top of your HCT in the pouring rain or even snow? What if it's something delicate are you supposed to also carry bubble rap? It really is beyond belief what's being suggested.

As previously mentioned DPD already do this, and yet again RM are so slow to the market. Yes it could work, yes it's good idea if done well, but also yes a soaking wet postman who is rushed off his feet trying to do this isn't going to become bode well with customers. You say why rush, just cut off, again, not good for business.
These people up top really have no idea how it works on the floor. Spending far too much time in meetings and analysing other companies, except netflix it seems.
Netflix was never a great company. They started out as dvd rentals and got lucky with the streaming move. If they knew what they were doing they would have evolved already and not lost those millions of customers.

Maybe but at present all the Parcel Collect requests appear on the walk's PDA, not the parcel delivery driver's PDA.Foxel wrote: ↑15 Aug 2022, 23:51I imagine it'd be a job for the parcel hub guy.TopperGas wrote: ↑15 Aug 2022, 22:03Imagine if you're on a walk which using an HCT what are you supposed to do, take a variety of flat pack boxes and tape with you in your HCT, then pack whatever item is passed to you on top of your HCT in the pouring rain or even snow?

Can’t wait to be sheltered in the back of a van on Christmas Eve Eve, furiously wrapping 20 odd parcels by torch light as the wind, rain and hail beat down outside.
