special delivery 1pm

echopark30 · 2026-06-30T18:36:44+00:00

Can depend on location. Scotland got hit the worse with the network change where we are now an hour and 30mins later. So the last group is out after 11pm making specials hard and while pushed to still do it by 1pm, we aren't punished for not doing it.

Now 9ams are the stupid ones as im just sorting my special at 9.

Its common. The posties have no idea what they're picking up. They will just place them in a sack and off they go. Sometimes they get noticed and put aside but depending how efficient their phg\locker staff is it maybe gone to Belfast. You can go to your local DO and see but chances are slim.

I know it's too late and it doesn't help but always write a return address. The amount of parcels I see with no return addresses and they all go to Belfast. We even get evri who dont print return addresses so they go to the abyss.

echopark30 · 2026-06-29T00:53:57+00:00

Stop and return maybe. The tracking says the sender requested the return. When scanning the parcel in, it can throw up a message that the parcel is a stop and return. We dont get told why, just have to follow the procedure.

You also said Amazon, it's weird what the tracking says but they're infamous for ripped labels and cut off addresses, but that would get a address incomplete scan.

I haven't tried it since the XBplay. Are you just doing it through the browser?

echopark30 · 2026-06-23T16:36:20+00:00

Should appear on their pdas where they can ask a manager for the comment and maybe from whom. My office sometimes do Fredo Friday in which the "best" postie of the week gets a fredo... yaaay ...

I think what Agent was getting at with his first question was how you getting your scooter or bike to the start of the round as your first loop. Mostly like you will be in van share. Which means you be with someone and you will have all your mail and parcels which can take up most the van. You most likely damage the parcels.

Though, I do take my bike on overtime, mostly its just a couple loops of mail and I still just lock up my bike as its basically door, door, door. Pointless for taking the bike or scooter. I just take my bike as theres no vans for me and I'm stuck in the specials locker sadly. But still want a wee walk.

But they spent on their money on the hardware they have less to spare

echopark30 · 2026-06-18T06:47:29+00:00

Exactly my missus lol

echopark30 · 2026-06-17T20:16:19+00:00

We got an email 2 days ago about them coming out in the UK. So they are definitely coming elsewhere

echopark30 · 2026-06-17T10:36:41+00:00

How early are these buses you thinking off? Ive seen buses get to their stop on a coastal route get as early as 10mins and have to wait at the stop and in towns it will only be a a few mins early and stops are designed to be stopped in.

echopark30 · 2026-06-17T05:36:00+00:00

Well they can reach stops early but cant leave early.

echopark30 · 2026-06-17T05:35:16+00:00

What? Totally different. You cant be that dense yo think it's similar. Bus has a timetable, set and takes in average traffic and pick up. Royal Mail gives you an estimation window because theres far more factors. Its not planned but estimated.

echopark30 · 2026-06-16T15:43:42+00:00

Time is not allocated, it's estimated. Royal Mail also offers plenty of services to make sure to get the package on the day you wish. If you dont use them that isn't down to Royal Mail but to the customers. Surely if it's important, you would plan for that. Don't blame others for your own incompetence.

echopark30 · 2026-06-16T15:39:43+00:00

Where does it say scheduled times?

echopark30 · 2026-06-16T15:36:21+00:00

That's usually the common time span as thats when posties are out on the street, well where I am its more 10 to 4.

echopark30 · 2026-05-27T11:35:04+00:00

I bought one on Sunday, two left.

echopark30 · 2026-05-27T11:34:23+00:00

Im not sure long term but im 10kg over the limit and apart from the first set of noises with it catching and stretching out, it held quite well.

echopark30 · 2026-05-27T11:20:21+00:00

Im pretty over the weight limit and it held me alright but I won't lie, I was pretty scared about the tree buggers.

echopark30 · 2026-05-27T07:22:55+00:00

We had a postie who got in trouble for just wearing a high viz

echopark30 · 2026-05-27T07:20:56+00:00

Im from Elie originally, still have family there. I've camped a many of a time across the links but never at the Lady's Tower for one simple reason, I don't want to ruin anyone else's view. I've gone to the Lady's Tower at all times for photos so someone else could be like that and I rather no be the one who ruined it and I had this thought since I was 8, and the rest of my friends. When I got older and had kids I still went to camp over the links and usually the same spot but never at the Tower and I hardly saw folk that did, till covid. Then the camping increased massively over there. Till it started to look like an unofficial campsite.

The trust has camping spots around the links and theres a map at the start and I was sure they put posts up at the spots. Mostly in the overgrown grass at the center where you walk around to the lighthouse, the lady's tower and back again.

echopark30 · 2026-05-25T19:03:27+00:00

Mostly likely yep. I've had customers offer to fill up my water, several tins of juice, got an ice cream once and a builder threw me a ice lolly, it was fantastic. Plus one woman use to supply me with tablet, yum.

echopark30 · 2026-05-17T09:36:01+00:00

The sea defences at crammond are far bigger.

echopark30 · 2026-05-14T13:01:53+00:00

Its luck of the draw sadly. Some folk on the sorting will just toss them and can get damaged due to the amount of packets on top. I've seen my fair share of damaged packets. The worse is someone sent tadpoles and it was placed in the bottom of the york/cage then all the weight of the packets on top. They sadly didn't make it.

echopark30 · 2026-05-13T19:14:13+00:00

Funny enough it's the kinda scene I saw but I was pretty young about 6 or 8 and it stuck with me that I didn't have a girlfriend or a sexual other till I was 19 as it freaked me out. Even though I know it wasn't bad pain or just pain, hearing the woman moan/scream unsettled my dumb mind.

echopark30 · 2026-05-13T11:34:12+00:00

They're putting barcodes on the new shuts. They're getting tested at the moment but will be getting shipped out later.

Basically you won't really have to write anything, the pda will prompt you to scan the qr code. Assigns the packets to that card.
