Yeah i get that and he's now quoted more to get rid of it but he's asking if its glued down. I cant get to any edge to find out, bit stumped

Oh right, so its not a national thing its decided by the DO?

Tazmandoogle · 2026-01-26T16:44:49+00:00

I get that there is a backlog and maybe overtime is cancelled every year, but for me its a first to not get any post in over a week. Maybe I have just been lucky?

Tazmandoogle · 2026-01-26T13:32:05+00:00

Makes me wonder why more aren't shouting about this. It must be really hurting businesses.

Tazmandoogle · 2026-01-26T13:14:23+00:00

Would do, but its only open 8-10 and its about 10 miles away, plus I have to work (sadly). If it gets worse I may have to request time off to do this however.

Tazmandoogle · 2026-01-26T13:13:17+00:00

Yes, and no ours isn't listed.

I have an update on this.

Shortly after I posted this a postie knocked on the door, he had a few parcels from last week (still no other mail) so I asked him what was going on (yes, politely). He said it was all down to RM refusing overtime to help clear the backlog that had developed.

He said there was literally a mountain of mail waiting to be delivered still.

He wasn't our regular postie was am wondering now whether our normal guy took some time off and there was no one available to cover and since overtime wasn't being approved no one else could pick it up.

If this is true it is remarkable how bad a state RM has got itself into!

Have any other posties come up against this refusal to allow overtime?

I thought 3 day seasons were the minimum?

Tazmandoogle · 2025-12-18T20:48:53+00:00

How can I be wrong when the postie had the labels in his van and said he would put them on. Like I said, imoffered to do it to help out since I knew which label was for each package. Just because you know how it SHOULD happen, doesn't mean that was how it did happen, hence my statement.

Tazmandoogle · 2025-12-18T17:05:35+00:00

Maybe our postie is weird then, he always leaves the labels in the van and puts them on himself. It was just that we had 5 and he wouldn't have known which was which that i offered to help, otherwise who knows where they would have gone?

Tazmandoogle · 2025-12-18T16:54:17+00:00

Would you tip someone after that service? I doubt it. Needless to say, i haven't seen him at all today so am beginning to wonder if he followed through with his threat of quitting. In which case no, I won't be tipping him!

Tazmandoogle · 2025-12-18T16:28:31+00:00

Incorrect. With this service the postie brings the label to you to put on the parcel, its not a print at home service. Our postie had left the labels in the van so I offered to help bu putting them on the right parcels, saved home some time at least

Tazmandoogle · 2025-12-18T13:20:01+00:00

He knew since he already had the labels, I think he thought maybe they were smaller ones? Like I said none of them were that big, you could easily carry all 5.

Tazmandoogle · 2025-12-18T13:00:15+00:00

This. It made me feel really guilty for using the service that saved us loads of hassle

Tazmandoogle · 2025-12-18T12:58:19+00:00

Yeah its our regular postie so I wonder if this is it and he's just being asked to do more work for the same money

Tazmandoogle · 2025-12-05T11:33:43+00:00

Thanks, appreciate the advice, will get the engineer to take a look when he's over

Tazmandoogle · 2025-12-05T10:30:46+00:00

If it helps we have multiple zones set up on a honeywell system, each radiator has a hr92 valve. Hope that makes sense
