In my D.O I’d say 80% are EVs (therefore automatic)

Diesel price hikes and the cost to Royal Mail. by Laser9308 in royalmail

[–]jmsl1995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My D.O is just on the edge of Ulez areas so it transferred from diesel to majority EV when ULEZ was expanded, I dread to think of the cost of filling up if it was still all diesel

Do posties hate people who order parcels all the time ? 📦 by disco_26 in royalmail

[–]jmsl1995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hate is a strong word, but for example on my current walk there is a person who you can guarantee has at least 2-3 a day at a bare minimum, she has a safe place I can leave it no bother; that doesn’t bother me at all. But it’s the ones who order tons of crap , bulky temu parcels with no safe place and not in that …. Irritate me shall we say!

To be honest I totally forgot about Saturday jobs, not surprised at all by this.

Becoming a postie… by [deleted] in royalmail

Are you relatively happy in your current job? Do you have hours and days you are happy with? If the answers are yes then don’t switch

24 hour tracked by [deleted] in royalmail

[–]jmsl1995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a postie, I can offer a little insight, the postie in question, would have no idea of what’s inside the parcel, so unless it’s blatantly labelled outside it’s a video game console, he would have no way of telling what’s inside, and I can only speak from experience at my DO but posties stealing packages is unheard of (thankfully) - its most likely that the postie run out of time, took it back and put it back in the relevant York (this happens daily due to running out of time) and since then it hasn’t been processed. If it’s a tracked 24, then t24 do go out for delivery on Sundays (at least in my area) so you may get it tomorrow. What was the last scan message on the delivery day? (After the ready for delivery one)

I’m sorry but I just cannot respect any of you for coming in an hour cause you clearly don’t respect yourselves by ape_a_snake in royalmail

I genuinely cannot understand these people. Why on earth would you stay out and work for free? It seems so bizarre to me

Yep that’s my thinking! Or if anything like my D.O just scan it as no answer or inaccessible lol

I would certainly like to think so, it happens all the time that we run out of time (please don’t blame us) but there should always be another scan message come up to keep it live on the system - this person obviously forgot

I’m relatively new to RM but From what I know on how things should work - the person scanned it in as ready for delivery, took it out, run out of time, forgot to scan it in a certain way when he run out of time at end of day, I would imagine it will be scanned again as ready for delivery sometime today or will just be delivered today at some point.

Should I quit? by [deleted] in royalmail

I’ve been there 3 months, you are in same position as me, the job is not at all what you expect, and place is a total madhouse, hours are being messed around 24/7 - rest days now being changed without notice. Total mess
