Scan as inaccessible Parcels you don't have time to deliver!
This is going on in an office near me, anyone else?
Was in the news also the other day...
Royal Mail postal workers 'told by higher-ups to fake deliveries so bosses could keep their bonuses'

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Been happening for a few years. Now there are just way too many parcels to deal with rather than a couple of odd awkward addresses.

Bog standard practice since the invention of Tracked parcels.
I think partly through a lack of training many people wouldn't even know 'delivery not attempted' was an option.

All the more reason to scan delivery not attempted, if they want to change it let them do itCiderboy1957 wrote: ↑08 Jan 2025, 21:31Have actually seen managers do this when tracks returned, bonus related I wud say?

Rather than.scan as Inaccessible, It's better to go to Delivery Not Attempted on the Enquiry Office app of the PDA, scan, then submit as Retention

"It comes as some customers have reported receiving said 'inaccessible' emails despite not hearing a knock at the door, the Telegraph reports."

It's a surefire way of getting complaints, our towns Facebook site has quite a few comments saying the usual I was in/no one came/my drive is totally clear etc

Re: Scan as inaccessible Parcels you don't have time to deliver!
Then again customers claim you've not knocked when you know you have! We've always been told to scan them "delivery not attempted" to avoid complaints as they apparently cost RM money.itsthepostie wrote: ↑09 Jan 2025, 18:47"It comes as some customers have reported receiving said 'inaccessible' emails despite not hearing a knock at the door, the Telegraph reports."
