Thats the one great failing IMO of Royal Mail managements style.
A wiser man than me once said "If you fail to prepare, then prepare to fail". In other words surely its better to have plans in place in case a situation rises, rather than hit the panic button when the unexpected occurs. If he plans cover for the packets, and then doesn't need it - no damage. If he does not plan cover, needs it, and people refuse docket - he is in deep do do.

How come you get dicked with all the tracked Jay? If the packets are small enough to go through a letterbox then surely the cyclist/walkers/trolley jocks can take them? The regular postie "should" know which addresses on his walk have "Good/Large" letterboxes and which have "Bad/Little" ones!
We often have the callers office staff come around with Tracked Items and say, "This'll go through the letterbox won't it ? I've already scanned it as Delivered". And as we've discussed elsewhere on this Site...Tracked are not Specials! Looks like your "Colleagues" are taking the piss by leaving it all up to you.

Conversely we have been bollocked here for doing what you suggest. Apparently, if what we were told in WTL is correct, the biggest selling point of Tracked (signed and unsigned) is that the sender knows exactly when it was delivered. In fact our drivers have been told that if they do not scan on doorstep (either delivered or not) that disciplinary action may result.

Sounds about right TBT. 1500 Offices = 1500 different systems + "Local Agreements" = Crap Service!
Once again why can't we get a Company Wide policy that everyone is aware of and everyone sticks to? Surely it can't be that difficult?
As for the Theory of our new "Flagship Product", I can't see the sense of having something treated like a Special but then Not Signed for and just stuffed in a "Safe Place", which we all know means just dumped in any shed or bin so you can get rid of the bloody thing!
