More D2Ds anyone ???

Post by RedBagMan »

Apparently in Newport (Gwent or Salop I dunno) the answer is YES

See the "Courier" letters page ... :arrrghhh

For those that haven't seen it:
Please can you explain why, as a company that uses a large fleet of vehicles for delivery, we are not delivering many more door to door leaflets?

We should be aiming to deliver vast quantities of these daily. If we are delivering one item to an address, it might as well be 10 items so we increase our income, as the shared vans (a huge success) keep the extra weight off postmen and women's backs.

This, I imagine, is a huge chunk of our revenue.

Also, many vehicles are dormant for parts of the day, which isn't very resourceful. Why aren't we attempting to deliver white goods for all the electrical stores or a similar project?
It sounds more like he's after 10 lots of D2D per day not per week :dance

Got be either be a wind up or someone on a ridiculously easy duty that hasn't got a clue.

It sounds like one of those FAKE letters which they put in the Courier. I have dozens of addresses which have large notices stuck on the street doors saying "NO LEAFLETS" I have to put them through anyway but can you imagine these people getting 10 lots. :shock:

Who says that you have to deliver it all? More d2ds to throw in = more indoor work = less outdoor work :dance
