Why do the public do this to us
So I got my own delivery. I know my customers well. I know all the faces. I even know the names too.
Member of public stops u in the street. Please can I have my parcel.
I say No sorry I have deliver and scan at the address.
They make funny sad face please please.
Before I hand over any parcels. I always ask to see there ID.
I always give in and scan parcel then take a pic with their face in it. And they smile for the picture.
I always think in my head just stay home and be patient
What would you lot do/say ???

Re: Why do the public do this to us
I tell them that our PDA has GPS on it and wont let me complete the scanning procedure unless its at the address on the parcel and I need to get a photo with the door open - i'd love to give you it Mrs Smith but it wont let me proceed otherwise, stupid technology eh

If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

If you want to give in, scan it as customer collected. It avoids the need for a photo.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Re: Why do the public do this to us
As long as you've seen their ID just take photo and give them it if the ID is correct its just like them collecting it from the locker.John james wrote: ↑14 May 2023, 20:33So I got my own delivery. I know my customers well. I know all the faces. I even know the names too.

They can’t deny receipt successfully when collecting from the locker
They can when the scan is away from their address on a street round the corner or wherever

Don’t give anyone anything in the street
If a manager sees you do this they could sack you
Any excuse for them to get rid of people

Re: Why do the public do this to us

It’s what the customer/business who sent the item can prove or disprove that matters when they chase up Royal Mailrichietns wrote: ↑15 May 2023, 09:47Yeah I know,but if the car licence or whatever links up with the packet its obviously the correct recipient the fact they know you have one,your not meant to do it though all the same but he actually says he know nearly all his customers go figure.Acca Dacca wrote: ↑15 May 2023, 08:04Wrongrichietns wrote: ↑15 May 2023, 06:02As long as you've seen their ID just take photo and give them it if the ID is correct its just like them collecting it from the locker.John james wrote: ↑14 May 2023, 20:33So I got my own delivery.

And they can prove that the item wasn’t delivered where it should have been
Car licenses, pictures of the customers face etc matter not a jot
If the recipient denies receipt then the business who used Royal Mail to send the parcel will see it was delivered at the wrong place and use that to claim compensation or whatever it is they do before refunding their customer
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next
