Thinking of applying for my local MC (mail sorter). Understandably, I imagine it scales up pretty awfully towards Christmas, but apart from that, what are the shifts typically like? Hectic?
Are MCs more/less busy during specific hours? Days, evening, nights a better shift?
Anything I should expect, or any advice you wish you knew before you applied?
Hi posties. I assume for a parcel with gross mislabelling such as no label at all and so on are simply destroyed, but for something exceeding a weight limit slightly or exceeding the dimensions of that label, what exactly happens?
Does the sender get emailed (if purchased online; this obviously can't happen if purchased at a PO) to pay the overdue amount? Else, I assume it's sent to the return address, but what if a label doesn't include a return address and was simply inputted online? There is an option I've seen to not include the return address on the label, but you still input one before purchase. Is the return address observed digitally rather than physically in that case?
Are there systems in place such that a parcel must fit within specific dimensions to pass through, else it's discarded?
I've wondered how strict RM's process is on this for a little bit, albeit a bit silly.
