Anyone got the image of the unofficially official priority list?

When it comes to D2D you'll find very little of it is directly contracted to RM - it's usually listed as The Leaflet Group or bloody Whistl Doordrop. No doubt the questionable chain of responsibility works out nicely for everyone involved except the person who paid for them to be delivered to a schedule.
The machine stops.

We were told today tracked is the priority, then 1st class followed by 2nd class then the d2ds.., but we can still get in big trouble for not taking them!

That's taking the pee, how you meant to throw in 5 lots with the workload we now have up untill the new year, they really should stop this d2d crap over the Xmas pressure period.. more time in the morn prepping 5 lots means less time out so more mail brought back, never ending catch-up!

To be fair a few times earlier in the year only one or two, think we had the luxury of none one week in summer but as I said they've bloody exploded recently hopefully they'll drop off again in a couple of weeks.
