Will put ours in a Monday and take where you go during the week, any odds left over just rollover but I guess that shouldn't happen.

It is amazing the amount left until Saturday then blam there comes the the only letter of the week

Always clear the leftovers on a Friday, nice to have a clear frame to tie up on Saturdays.

When the round you are only delivering twice a week to has them for every house, you will not clear the frame in two visits. That’s a 50% call rate without tracked and 2 days mail

When I end up doing somebody else's round on a Saturday and mine gets doubled up, there's no way I'm putting all of my D2D in on a Monday.
Also I covered a round for nearly 3 months while the duty holder was off sick, there was NINE bundles under my frame!

They seem to be optional at our place. New starters never touch them.

With the change to USO. All non drivers are meant to put them into the frame on a Saturday since they can't go out in a van to deliver parcels.
Then meant to be warm called.
The idea sounds like it would work on paper.
Would be a mess in practice.

So what do the non drivers do when you get a free week from d2ds
