Anyone else done the recent DIAD training?

[Jackburton]

If you haven't take a gander. Long story short, a new service involving bringing a package such as a modem, repacking on the spot, relabeling and reshiping, all at the time of delivery. Dishnetwork boxes are gunna make this a very Merry Christmas.

Relax! IE has it figured out and you will be allowed 4.7 seconds.

Every one of these packages will pack perfectly and quickly, every time.

4.7 seconds will be plenty. Plus you should be saving yourself time by packing it on the walk back to the car.

Using the same formula when EDD was introduced, that should equal 5 stops I'll get taken off my dispatch then.

 

[iruhnman630]

and no driver will ever be held responsible for damage or missing contents due to failure to work as directed, ie pack properly.

We had that training today, it had about 38 screens to read. Something about merging the delivery tracking number to the RS tracking number. Supposedly the customer should be standing at the door anxiously waiting to swap out something on the spot. The driver has to decide to open the box, swap the item, repack it, attach the RS label and enclosed customs documentation if any. I didn't see anything about what to do if the consignee isn't ready. You have to make the exchange on the spot, you can't leave the box. It reminds me of the Merchandise Exchange program in the 80's when we tried to swap home phones. That didn't last very long.

Hopefully this won't last that long either.

Anyone got any tape? Oh nevermind, I'll use this tacky substance on the back of this label, it should hold right?

sounds like another loser creative way to try and prevent future stops. There will be mad delays.

 

[happyboy]

I hate the dish network call tags I already have to deal with, This sounds stupid!

 

[iruhnman630]

me: 'Hello. I'm here to pick up a package for DISH?'

customer: 'THere it is, hooked up to the tv.'

 

[sherman22]

4.7 seconds seem awful generous for IE, more like 2.3.

We have a similar thing,where HP sends an empty box with everything needed to repack the laptop (including tape strip)
I takes less than 2 minutes.

 

[Re-Raise]

They leave the empty box sitting on the porch for weeks before we show up with a call tag, what the hell makes them think these people will be ready when I come to the door for an exchange?

Thats OK, I get paid by the hour. It will be great for guys who have had the lock in rides.

And, "Will you climb up on the roof and take my dish down?"

Do I use the call tag or the RS label in the box?

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

There will not be a call tag. It will be in EDD as a stop with an "X" in front of it. You would use the RS label in the box.
