If you don't have the resources available to deliver everything what do you do?

I bet they delivered Special Delivery letters.

Lots doing it in my area, common practice at mo.
But it’s backing up quickly.

Packets thru the roof yet failing on the bonus scheme.

When it comes to prioritising RM will always opt for delivering parcels over the letters. The standard excuse from our managers is that packets take up the space in a delivery office and due to health and safety they need to clear those items first.

OK the amount of packets coming into the DO at the moment is almost insurmountable, so we'll done to every person who has worked in delivery trying to achieve as much as possible each day.It is a massive amount of work for us to try and complete each day,and an enormous amount of goodwill from each and everyone of us, without that there would be, and with reading these blogs, already a massive backlog in delivery, you know the Christmas pressure each year is all about us, we know what to expect, but the revisions and the massive amount of packets , the shortage of workers ,sick absentees, I hope people will eventually get their letters and packets in time this year.......

It's doable, we've been clearing with a bit of can do and going over by about half hour. Ya know like we used to do at this time of year. Or we can kick off and be miserable that a private company wants us to work the minutes we get paid. And yes that's with a full massive e-van. There is no mail! Crack on with our new parcel job!

It seems to be varying by area, locally it hasn't been that much busier for any streams. We've just started to notice a few Xmas cards passing through. RM are forecasting that when the Tracked hits peak volumes, it'll be noticeably over our absolute maximum capacity so some runs then from the MC to the DOs will likely be just Tracked and SDs if there's any room left

I love to see you doing my 6 hour (soon to be increased to 7) in the 4 hours allotted.

Yeah i think some people struggle with the notion that not all jobs are equal.

IM sorry but people have paid to have their 1st class letters delivered in a time specified too buy a regulator which is law by the way ,all items paid for should be treated the same or this means they are breaking the law ,now if its said like you do they haven't enough resources then on alternative days all letters should go out and not parcels,royal mail are in breach of the law everyday and should be fined accordingly until as of such time the company stops paying shareholders millions of pounds out of a company which is failing to work within the law.These companies should be brought to book and made an example of ,the water companies too ,the trouble we have is they are all the mates of the Tories.

[guardianangel]

No letters in our office either,wonder if OFCOM have the balls to fine them again because they are literally laughing in the face of British law at the moment.

Packets and Tracked have had priority in MCs for many years. If the packets or Tracked sections are in the s**t, flats and manual letters will get sacrificed to free up enough staff to clear the packets and Tracked
