OK I'm actually a postie, but if you are sending a letter to a D/O do you need to include postage? I know that mail with incorrect postage is held in the PHG locker and a notice sent out to recipient, but if I sent a letter without postage to a DOM he's surely not going to send a notice to himself?! The reason I refuse to pay for postage is I am requesting D2D's to be no longer sent to my address as I live in a communal building and they are a nuisance and I don't think its fair I have to pay to ask them.
Cheers.

Re: Sending a letter to a DO
It will cost you a lot less for a stamp than the (approximately) £2.50 a year that it will cost your postie when his DTD money is cut by your non delivery request - you tight bastard

Your DOM will ignore it because you have used the wrong process and he won't care anyway.just_nuke_it wrote:OK I'm actually a postie, but if you are sending a letter to a D/O do you need to include postage?

I actually thought this was general knowledge for posties especially since the Postie got done for telling people how to opt out.

Re: Sending a letter to a DO
Thanks, I know posties can get in trouble for giving customers details of opt outs. I didn't know about the freepost address, why would RM think to tell me if they don't want people opting out?

Re: Sending a letter to a DO
If he doesn't want door to doors then it's his business not the posties who deliver them. Equally if RM were not so tight they would have changed the money paid for doing the things (in the last 11 years).rhino49 wrote:It will cost you a lot less for a stamp than the (approximately) £2.50 a year that it will cost your postie when his DTD money is cut by your non delivery request - you tight bastard
Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

Re: Sending a letter to a DO
If the D2D's are delivered directly to your door you can opt out, but if they are delivered to a communal letterbox you cannot opt out for you're neighbours as well, all this means that there will be just one less D2D item,

I have worked for RM for 7 years and I am only just finding out from these forums what some of you guys take as "common knowledge" some of the info I have posted - I think of as "common knowledge"
