No Charge

Post by Broad »

First post on the forums so it might be a bit rough around the edges..........after being told in every work time learning session, which we don't have anymore :wink:
"The company is not making money anymore, any suggestions how we can save money or earn money for the company"??>>>>

Now we are not charging for "unoffical redirections" unless it is to a bussiness.

Why????

Talk about madness

If you factor in the time and effort in writing out and delivering the surcharge cards, coupled with the cost of storing and then disposing of uncollected mail, how much do you think this new initiative will raise.
Given the amount of money lost through redirection failures, it might make more sense to make all redirections unofficial.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Then scrap the "reward money" for redirection failures, keep on top of redirections and maybe if we had the same delivery man on the same job for more than 2 days a week you might be in with a chance.
