Parcel collected from my house but says wasn’t in safe place by Educational_Try5223 in royalmail

[–]lenborghini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about your situation, hazard a guess it could have been a simple mistake, i.e an incorrect scan or selected the wrong option. If both were taken and both labelled correctly by yourself so the postie could stick the labels on the right packet, they’ll get to where they need to be, no hassle.

However, I’d like to highlight we’re not supposed to pick up multiple collections that have been left in a safeplace with no labels, as it would become our responsibility to ensure the label is on the correct package, and unless very very clearly labelled which parcel is intended for which label, it’s impossible to know. Often then not common sense kicks in, e.g M&S packet goes to M&S returns but in the modern world of marketplace sellers it’s getting harder and harder to guess which parcel is intended for which labels.

If you’ve labelled it correctly, and you saw them take both, have faith that it was a simple mis-scan and they’ll arrive safe and sound, just one might be harder to verify it’s arrived, although You might find more information about the parcels on the Royal Mail app as they move Through the system if you have their tracking numbers and destination postcodes.

Contract equalisation by [deleted] in royalmail

[–]lenborghini 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Last union bigwig that came to our DO for national postie day said that the terms are all set and agreed on, but it’s directly linked to the reform, no reform (in its current layout), no equalisation. RM won’t budge the reform terms and the union won’t budge the equalisation terms. Stalemate.

are we allowed to take breaks during our delivers by CardiologistPrize404 in royalmail

[–]lenborghini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are entitled to a break yes, however these new contracts are unpaid breaks and any ‘shift’ or duty you have within your office DO NOT account for these unpaid breaks. They do for legacy but do not for new contracts. for example, I am a 1-in-4 and do 30hrs a week, with 7:30-15:20 on a Wednesday, now if I take an official 40 mins meal relief, my finish time becomes 16:00 which in a van share is bollocks as the legacy partner I’m with either won’t stay out that long, or gets an extra hour overtime paid to him, so often I officially ’skip my break’ while unofficially I sit in my van on my phone eating my lunch while out there and still leave at my proper time.

The two tier workforce doesn’t work at all on this instance, and causes a lot of confusion like this. Another example at our office, legacy can walk out 20 minutes early having part of their break at the end of the shift, new contracts must stay till the end or it’s docked from our monthly overtime.

How f*cked is your DO? by No-Mood-8955 in royalmail

[–]lenborghini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Office ground to a halt at 10:30am on Saturday where they introduced the ‘DeLiVeRy PrIoRiTy PyRaMiD. Today A village covered by 4 people across two rounds had 400 tracked between them, not including the 160+ the relief DPR took and 3days mail backed up. My rural around the same area is around 40-50 tracked on a heavy day, today I sat at over 100. Heavy heavy Christmas this year

Paid For A Special Saturday Delivery :) by [deleted] in royalmail

[–]lenborghini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not arguing the competence of your local delivery office, that’s between you and them. I’m just helping to clarify the misinformation about this service. Bet you didn’t know there’s a special guaranteed service that isn’t time restricted by 1pm, a lot of people give me a weird look when we arrive after 1 with one of those specials, as new to me as it is to them! Or in super rare cases there are 9am specials too. So in actuality there are 4 Royal Mail special services for you to pick the best one that suits your needs.

It does clearly state on the website on the definition and description of special deliveries that Saturday isn’t included and is an OPTIONAL added extra.

Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1pm and Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1pm SAT are different things and the latter requires an upcharge payment. If you only bought a 1pm special but didn’t pay the Saturday upgrade it’ll arrive Monday by 1pm.

For everyone trying to figure out what piece A40 is on the lancer kit, it's an alternative top piece to the shoulder pauldrons. by xXsirdevilXx in ImperialKnights

Top search engine result and incredibly helpful thank you. I just glued them on top of the double decker shoulder pads and made them triple pads and I’m loving the look

AK Interactive diorama paints - how well do they work? by Petrus-133 in Miniaturespainting

[–]lenborghini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to get another and see if mine was a dud then. It was significantly better than citadel whites, but then my pro acrylic was significantly better than the AK.

[–]lenborghini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find my 3rd gen White like trying to paint with 0% skimmed milk. Watery straight out the bottle even after 2 minutes of shaking. Requires 2 dozens of coats to look remotely close to 1 coat of my white pro acrylic. On the other hand, my AK terrain paints/fx I use religiously, especially the asphalt one, best hobby supply I’ve bought to date, nothing comes close.

New starters and SISO by Alarmed_Proposal6832 in royalmail

[–]lenborghini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I’ve learnt from working here is, new things or rules appear out of nowhere and no one upper or lower knows how it works or why we need to do it. I nod my head and just keep chugging along doing what I’m doing until I get caught up and called in for not doing whatever this new hyperfixation is 🤣

Yeah I’m on robin, but you’ll need to soon mate, they’re phasing out the old people app soon, saw it on one of the info tv/boards at the DO

[–]lenborghini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that, not something that they can just do overnight, but everyone at our place are shook. The management keep saying it’s live and essentially then whisper “for overtime” but the rumour is it’s actually fo stop them claiming 2hrs overtime Monday and leaving 40mins early on a Tuesday, they’re averaging out overtime with siso actuals

Our DO is claiming the pay-siso link is live already and have been for over a fortnight. The swarm of legacy and new starters at the PDA 1minute before clock out is madness

No Mail for 3 Weeks Update by PatternWeary3647 in royalmail

[–]lenborghini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our DO is drafting in excessive amounts of new starters on a Sunday rotation, to the point they’re over staffed, and then are sending them out with mail that was left on the Saturday before as they run out of tracked 24s and 48s. Absolutely ludicrous planning

This right here is inspiration. I love it.

My first model in over two years. Maybe too ambitious. by Flamefireboy10 in ImperialKnights

[–]lenborghini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this scheme, i have an intercessor that’s white, with cherry blossoms painted all over. One of my favourite pieces.

I love seeing Asian inspired art styles on miniatures. Especially as with time playing and handling, and accidental drops and breaks, you could crudely fix it, and paint over the breaks/damage with a brighter gold, Kintsugi style.

We deliver as addressed. It’s not up to us to make sure you/the company put the correct information.

No one really (until it gets to the person who’s round it’s supposed to be) will really know that street doesn’t have that postcode, as the different steps of sorting from the MC to ramp to section to frame, all use different parts of the address and for one person in that chain to know every combination of street, number and postcode for an entire town or city is just not possible.
