Sunday Amazon held over for Monday delivery

[Inquisitor54]

Is there extra compensation for carriers to deliver Sunday Amazon that was not delivered Sunday but held over for Monday delivery? I was told by our union rep that we should be paid 2 min per package for Amazon that was not delivered on Sunday. Is there somewhere I can find this in writing?

Also, with Sunday Amazon delivery, should ALL packages be delivered on Sunday, including chunks and spurs? I just found out that in past, years the clerks have only had carriers take the large packages and left the small ones that fit in the mailbox for Monday delivery. What is the rule and proper procedure in this?

Depends. Was it actually sorted on Sunday and they couldn’t get it all done? Or was it held and sorted for today? If it’s the second one, there’s no additional compensation because the packages were not made available to the carriers on Sunday.

If it’s the first one, it’s 8127 time for the time it would take to deliver the extra packages, not two minutes a mile.

Anything that was committed for Sunday goes on Sunday. If they decide not to run it, and it was committed for Sunday, it’s 8127 time.

Some people (me) have NEVER had Sunday delivered.

If sorted for Sunday delivery then yes to 8127 time. If it was not sorted, then no additional pay is warranted.

It’s up to mgmt as to what goes on Sunday/Holidays. Our routes do not get credit for pkgs delivered on Sundays or Holidays but do if we deliver them Monday-Saturday. I’ll take the credit.

Your credit is bad. RRECs is not gonna happen.

They were sorted and I delivered them with my Monday mail and packages. I did not thank them separate, which maybe I should have and put all on 8127. I only had 8 packages from Sunday so I put down 16 min on the 8127. What should I have done? It would have definitely been more time and miles had I done straight 8127 time.

2 minutes per package is generous by way of the old Mail Count system. We received less than 1 minute per at last count.
If using RRECS credits, it depends on where the pkgs were delivered. If Mailbox or parcel locker then 2 minutes per is still a good amount of time. If it went to the house then you might get away with adding 2 more minutes for each that is applicable.

Yes, they were sorted to each route on Sunday. Clark said there were not enough parcels for the three routes to give our sub the min 2 hours to deliver then, so they were held over for Monday delivery.

I was told 2 min per package, not per mile. Since I delivered them with my mail, I did not get any extra miles to deliver them. Totally my bad. I will run them totally separate ands put it all on 8127 time if it happens again.

Thank you all for your input! You are a great resource and support.

Running them separate from your day’s mail would likely yield less money as that would fall under 2nd Trip time. If it fits with the rest of the mail, don’t extend your day for an extra couple of minutes of pay. Not worth it IMHO.

4 of the 8 went to the door, and 4 fit in the mailboxes. Thank you

This is a way that the post office cheats us and gets free labor. I feel like a grievance needs to be filed. Sunday packages are Sunday packages. If you don’t have enough help at your office it is t your fault they didn’t get delivered. We all should be compensated for the Sunday amazon a day which we aren’t required to work. The post office is cheating us.

Not all packages that have “Sunday” printed on them actually come in on Sunday for delivery. Some are delivered early on Saturday while others run late & aren’t actually available for delivery until Monday. The Sunday label is an ETA just like some of our own packages have.
If the package was sorted for Sunday delivery then that is compensable but if it’s not available then we aren’t. If we deliver it, we get route credit, if Sunday/Holiday deliver then we aren’t.
FYI… it is not unusual for mgmt to push Priority out on a Holiday delivery day. I never see anyone complain about mgmt stealing our credit.

So what about the offices that are not participating in Amazon Sunday? Where is their 8127 time? Additional parcels get dumped on them on Monday because management doesn't want to participate in Amazon Sunday. We had a PM that for years refused to participate.

They are not scanned for Sunday delivery so no extra is warranted. It is a part of the out dated eval for your routes. I know it’s a big sucky pill to swallow. Going thru this in our office with the new cap for sundays Management has put. Can always file and see tho.

My office doesn't work Sundays. I'm a sub so I normally go in on Monday mornings and take whatever doesnt fit in carriers POVs. It all goes on a green card.

That’s the way it used to be here. I hope your regs thank you for it many of ours did and miss it greatly.
