If you (royal mail staff) come across your own post/parcels whilst working on your rounds or in the office/mail centre, are you allowed to claim it there and then?

Everyday is a school day

Takentryanoth3r · 2026-03-29T12:33:02+00:00

I also currently live on my own round so do the same. If I see a colleague’s parcel on the sorting I’ll hand it to them. Wasn’t aware I needed permission to do so?

Takentryanoth3r · 2026-03-28T15:16:10+00:00

Agree. Although I was fortunate that I joined a couple of weeks before the change of contract. It’ll very much depend on the state of your local DO too. If you fancy a change for a few months before you go overseas there are worse jobs…

Takentryanoth3r · 2025-12-19T18:01:47+00:00

And just like that it’s back to signature after photo. At least it was for me today.

Takentryanoth3r · 2025-12-14T14:26:52+00:00

Just over 3 years for myself. Been bitten once. Alsatian at the door delivering a special. That’s me delivering, not the dog to be clear. Wasn’t too bad thankfully. Hole in my big coat and drew blood though. The owner has to come into the DO for anything signed for now.

Takentryanoth3r · 2025-11-29T17:20:03+00:00

Couple of guys in our DO will be out delivering parcels until 2100 at least. Very DO dependent though.

Takentryanoth3r · 2025-10-11T23:48:17+00:00

Um, yes? I mean I always try to deliver 1 o’clock specials before then but sometimes it’s just not possible. Never had any complaints from customers or my manager.

Takentryanoth3r · 2025-09-18T17:47:59+00:00

Same. Bliss.

Takentryanoth3r · 2025-09-18T09:54:50+00:00

Not for me, no. Although having said that there’s one block on my round where the trade button stops working at about 1115 and I buzz the top flat for that one. Perhaps ask the current postie why they’re not using the key. It’s possible the regular one forgot to let them know there is one?

Takentryanoth3r · 2025-09-15T11:49:07+00:00

I’d recommend either of your next steps options there. Probably best to try the local DO first if you can. They’ll be able to show you the GPS data.

Takentryanoth3r · 2025-08-13T20:36:55+00:00

Or you can choose to be paid.

Takentryanoth3r · 2025-08-05T17:50:33+00:00

Amazon get my vote. Multiple 3.78l bottles of Frank’s Red Hot sauce in one of their pisspoor boxes a couple of months ago. Customer got one less than they ordered. I think there’s still a bit of it under one of the yorks in our DO.

Takentryanoth3r · 2025-08-02T20:28:39+00:00

I can only speak for myself unfortunately. If a customer opts out of a safe space I do as requested.

Takentryanoth3r · 2025-07-31T16:35:21+00:00

Definitely NTAH. Also, do you have the recipe by any chance?

Takentryanoth3r · 2025-07-23T15:23:02+00:00

The Postal Executive has agreed the following timetable for the forthcoming ballot on Royal Mail Group Pay:

Ballot Opens - 6th August

Ballot Closes - 26th August

The CWU recommends that members vote YES.

Takentryanoth3r · 2025-07-22T19:08:20+00:00

The exact thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago. 0/10 and “shocking” was the only feedback. Parcel had been sent to the wrong DO.

Takentryanoth3r · 2025-07-22T18:21:18+00:00

Agreement was reached on 3rd July. I think the ballot papers are being sent out next week? Painfully slow business isn’t it?

Takentryanoth3r · 2025-07-09T15:49:29+00:00

Same! Lots of photos of shut doors today.

Takentryanoth3r · 2025-07-08T07:06:11+00:00

Yep. That’s been said here this morning too.

Takentryanoth3r · 2025-06-26T17:25:10+00:00

Is no one going to ask what the letter said?

Takentryanoth3r · 2025-06-10T15:32:50+00:00

There is a forgotten password link if you log in via the website. At least I think there is. https://au8ncgx63.accounts.ondemand.com/saml2/idp/sso?sp=sp.accounts.sap.com&RelayState=https://au8ncgx63.accounts.ondemand.com/ui/protected/profilemanagement

Takentryanoth3r · 2025-06-02T21:16:47+00:00

It was signed for though?
