I am doing the unaddressed mail survey and today two items have separately arrived not delivered with our regular post. One is a local village magazine and another about a local forthcoming craft fair. I am presuming local residents delivered these so could someone clarify if these count as unaddressed mail?

Yes these are counted as unaddressed mail

Do they have your address on them ?

No addresses, one is a newsletter and the other just a printed flyer. I have added both in as unaddressed mail now.

Is there a directive that says these are included? I thought we were checking the Royal Mail service, not things delivered by local vicar etc. Unless told otherwise by the survey, I wouldn't have included these. My local postie says he can get into trouble for delivering things that aren't in his official remit. He is often asked to as people know he'll be going round the village, He says he'll drop those off separately when he's off duty.

So surely if we mark those as unaddressed mail, then RM might think he's delivering stuff he's not supposed to?

This is from the instructions which does seem to encompass items not delivered by RM. Both my items were delivered separately, and I have no idea by whom, but it would be highly unlikely to have been RM:








Unaddressed mail [FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]is any item delivered that does not have an address on it. This could be delivered by Royal Mail or other mail delivery companies. Unaddressed mail could be delivered any at time of the day. Examples include takeaway menus, promotional literature, "to the occupier" letters with no specific address etc. [/FONT][/FONT]

You are to include absolutely anything that comes through your door without a name and address on it - local free papers, take away menus, Ikea catalogues, Slimming World flyers etc. I even include those charity collection bags and/or labels that come at least once a fortnight - if it lands on my welcome mat, it gets counted! When I get in from work, I have no idea what (unaddressed) items lying on my mat that may have accumulated through the day would have come from what source - it all gets counted.

Why would the royal mail want to know that the local kebab shop owner pushed yet another menu through your door?

I agree that if you're out and have no idea who's posted stuff through then it's fair enough to include it I suppose - unless you can be sure it's definitely not delivered via royal mail. However, the local vicar with his newsletter (or the kebab shop if they've delivered it themselves and not via the postie) doesn't count as '[FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]other mail delivery companies' [/FONT][/FONT]so I wouldn't include those. Again I would be concerned that my postie could be in trouble for delivering more items that RM aren't being paid for, and RM deliveries are what we're being asked to survey after all.

I would imagine they want to see what percentage of unaddressed advertising stuff they are getting the contract to deliver, as opposed to that posted through our doors by others. I have no idea if that is correct by the way, its just a theory
