    My regular postman definitely knows - there's a certain look when I have those envelopes and parcels. Not sure about some of the others, don't think they care to be honest.

    I think the giveaway is the period that you are inundated with parcels every second day or so it seems & then when you finish literally nothing.

    Hello
    When posting items they say you need to be in the same postcode area so if for example I live in PO19 and post in PO20 is that okay or not please, thank you.
    I would say it is a grey area. The app used to say that the PO (in your example) was the relevant part but we had an email once saying you were to post locally ie your nearest box or Post Office.
    That was certainly the old Kantar rule - I spent a number of years posting in the various areas I worked in rather than the area I lived in with no questions asked.
    From the newsletter 2023 CW-23 dated 06/06/23

    Posting your Items

    It is vitally important that you post your items exclusively in your registered postcode area. Therefore you need to post your items only a few streets or so from your home. It's essential for you to follow this requirement as we are measuring the performance in your area. If you post outside of your postcode area this will make your item not valid and we will not be able to evaluate the reported data from your item.
    It's not specific is it?

    If I live in AB1 1AA am I now supposed to stick to AB1  or AB1 1xx?
    I need to think of something new here...

    This is a complete mess really. The instructions are full of inconsistencies. I always try to post in AB1 1xx but In my area AB1 would do I guess.
    I live at the junction of 3 different postal areas. If I use the app to find a posting location it only shows me the area I live in suggesting anywhere in AB is okay.

    I live in AB1 1 say, where there are no post offices. I always understood that we should restrict posting to AB1 area.

  • Anyone know what package timetable which has just appeared in the app is supposed to mean? I’ve now got that as well as bundle timetable but I seem to have about 20 overdue packages…

    I had that too though only two alleged overdue bundles. I have put a ticket in with a screenshot as I'm supposed to be resting now, and I neither have any unposted bundles nor any that I'm expecting from March or April as far I can tell.

    I think it’s another ‘feature’ of the latest release of the app. For me it shows 5 packages while I was resting, and 1 in the future in two months time!, which are all apparently overdue …
