Why are people collecting these items. If it’s out of spec you don’t accept it. FFS.

Over time more and more stuff seems to be going Tracked. We're even starting to see a few letters and flats going as TrackedBelgium wrote: ↑01 Mar 2023, 15:47Anything over 20kg (excluding tracked 48 which is 30kg )SpacePhoenix wrote: ↑09 Jan 2022, 19:41I think it'll be down to how much a 30Kg parcel is for PF compared with other couriers.

Will have to be sent PF or courier
Any items received over 20kg revenue protection inform the sender that they have to either collect the parcel from the mail centre or arrange for a courier to collect

I reckon that if Tracked were made usable by everyone, not just businesses then the number of SDs would plummet drastically, probably a good few people only use it for the ability to track its progress throughout the systempostieblueshirt wrote: ↑05 Mar 2023, 08:47Probably because it's the only product apart from SD royal mail deliver on time.SpacePhoenix wrote: ↑05 Mar 2023, 05:42Over time more and more stuff seems to be going Tracked.

Re: Customer collections 5 items?
That and the fact that you should receive the SD next day guaranteed. I used to work for a company who saved lots by stopping SD’s and using tracked instead.SpacePhoenix wrote: ↑05 Mar 2023, 09:13I reckon that if Tracked were made usable by everyone, not just businesses then the number of SDs would plummet drastically, probably a good few people only use it for the ability to track its progress throughout the systempostieblueshirt wrote: ↑05 Mar 2023, 08:47Probably because it's the only product apart from SD royal mail deliver on time.SpacePhoenix wrote: ↑05 Mar 2023, 05:42Over time more and more stuff seems to be going Tracked.

You can now buy Tracked online and drop at PO branches, although they cannot sell it.

You really should just stick to posting Mail Centre stuff.

Re: Customer collections 5 items?
That would be the big game changer if PO branches were allowed to sell Tracked
The number of SDs IS dropping, they've taken some more hours out the SD locker, and that's after they took hours out when the foreign SDs started going as Trackedjagger wrote: ↑05 Mar 2023, 19:14You really should just stick to posting Mail Centre stuff.

Simpleton prefers us to COLOD for Tracked. That way RM are not paying the PO any commission.SpacePhoenix wrote: ↑05 Mar 2023, 22:30That would be the big game changer if PO branches were allowed to sell Tracked
