Prep Help

I'm a newish starter.. been working 4days now.

Anyway tomorrow is my first day on my own doing my prep and round, I'm a postie and I walk.

I've made a list so I know what to do in what order, just wondering if you could have a look and let me know if I've missed anything or should do something differently:

*Door to Doors
*Throw letters onto frame
*Throw flats onto frame
*Check misorts
*Sort parcels
*Check misorts again
*Tie up into bundles, and put into bags
*Get specials
*Do redirections
*Do kill offs

That's how i do it,but i don't do D2D's or specials but if i did i would do it that way.
Good luck

weve got a postie at our place who,s been there for a few years now who still works until gone 10 pm.

he does whatever the bosses ask him to do..he loves staying out all hours..

in fact 1 night i was driving home form my then girlfriends and he was still delivering...this was 11.pm..

Um hope you do redirections before you tie up otherwise you'll end up with none to do every day. Keep at it, it does get easier.

he actually enjoys doing it though.he hates going home,hes a bit wierd like that.

so as long as he enjoys it the bosses let him carry on.

no sorry just can't get me head round that. tell the bloke to get a life. get more people in to do the job. put hours in safe guard jobs surely it can't be worth him doing it.

he just doesnt like going home..and the strange thing is he,s loaded aswell from being left some money..
and if the bosses can get him to do the work then theyre not going to complain..

they take the piss out of him but he likes the job so he,s not fussed.

another top tip aaron is if you have a street / road in which they are all longish drive ways do what i do and seperatly bundle each house (if more than 1 letter) this will take time in prep but will save your legs in mis deliveries. works for me !!

oh and if you are doing a street / road and it breaks on to another street/ road try and budle them seperatly. in fact segregate different streets. hope this helps.
oh and one more tip . if you have a buisness or a work from home person who has loads of mail, seperatly band that up in the bundle , save you flicking and walking!

the knot is tied , the chain is tight and im now a married man
