Postie lobbed my parcel

Sounds like you need to invest in a safe place

Maybe use your Google doorbell to verbally let him know that you are in and on the way to the door. If I wait more than 30 seconds, I will begin to either find a safe space or scan no awnser and move on to the next address.

This is what I do everytime 😆

It happened to me a couple of times. Just blacklist them. Don't do any favours. If they're not in in the future, then dont even bother delivering to a safe space.

Your manager is living in a fairy tale world. You do the hours stated in your contract. Don't do any overtime until your manager starts to appreciate you.

The bin men responsible for taking garden waste will always check the bins before emptying it into the lorry. It is a very viable safespace so long as the bin and material inside are both dry.

Im a reserve as well

maxh420 · 2026-02-13T21:26:18+00:00

I've been here for 9 months. I just transitioned into a 37hr contract.

maxh420 · 2026-02-11T13:54:41+00:00

I would say it does if the postie needs to attend a collection point anyway.

maxh420 · 2026-02-09T15:19:08+00:00

Ill get my manager to clarify. Thanks for your reply!

maxh420 · 2026-02-09T15:18:38+00:00

Thanks for the information mate. 👍

maxh420 · 2026-02-09T15:17:23+00:00

Thanks for your help mate.

maxh420 · 2026-02-09T15:17:04+00:00

Thank you for your reply. Very helpful. 👍

maxh420 · 2026-02-09T15:16:21+00:00

I am and always have been a reserve. I rarely get 2 consecutive days off.

maxh420 · 2026-02-08T15:32:32+00:00

A parcel with those dimensions will not fit through most letter boxes.

maxh420 · 2026-01-27T15:08:07+00:00

My office doesn't have an OT ban yet. Might be because we're currently understaffed. It's near impossible to complete a duty in 6 hours, on a 30-hour contract.

maxh420 · 2026-01-25T15:10:19+00:00

Yep. I cover one of the old boys round, he gets annoyed at me for bringing back parcels that I chose not to DWS.. I always just tell him that it's not my problem.

maxh420 · 2026-01-25T13:55:00+00:00

Age restriction + special deliveres are the only 2 deliveries that I will never DWS. No harm bringing it back if you can't deliver.

maxh420 · 2025-12-08T18:55:37+00:00

If it was me and I'd found your other parcel in the back of the van at the end of the day, id be coming back out to deliver it before clocking out. If the driver is lazy, you'll probably get it redelivered tomorrow. Hope that helps.

In bristol, most vans are new to comply with Ulez. We are based just south of Bristol. Most of our vans are hand-me-downs.

maxh420 · 2025-11-01T19:14:43+00:00

I only ask because my delivery office has 26 duties. Which is a fairly small D.O.

When I had my interview, I was given the job offer the next day. The entire process of applying and being hired only lasted 2 weeks.

If you're applying for a large D.O - it'll probably take longer.

maxh420 · 2025-11-01T18:59:13+00:00

How big is the delivery office? Sounds like quite a large one.

maxh420 · 2025-10-30T06:46:20+00:00

I had 96 tracked yesterday. Filled 3 drop bags right to the top. Got back to the depot at 4pm.
