Non tracked Heavy & Large 2nd class. (up to 25kg)

(a huge amount of work from my MC)

Says - Mon 22nd aug to jan 2023
but of course we all know that once that work is migrated to the parcel hubs it will not likely return.

Could possibly be strike related.

Will they still end up at the relevant do as normal or does migrate to parcel hub mean they'll be sent to the lat offices ?

Maybe small 2C as well? Yorks of large from other MCs are normally a right mix of Tracked and Non-Tracked, large and small, occasionally you'll also get an SD as well. What will happen to the stuff that they deem not suitable to be sorted, will it be sent back to the original MC who'll likely just then send it back to the hub?

So we will still be doing tracked parcels then? I’d say tracks account for around 70-80% of our parcels so won’t affect us that much.

Who in the hubs are going to be delivering these parcels? I work in one and we have no staff and inept management. Curious to see how they’re going to sort this mess out
