Letter Basket
Posted on Monday, November 15th, 2010 at 11:35 pmWhy do people have to have baskets under their letter boxes? They make life as a papergirl so Hard !?
One of the houses on my sunday paper round has a basket under the letter box to catch the letters. No problem right? Wrong. The basket only goes out about 20cm so that when i try to shove the paper through it only goes about halfway in and try as i might, i just cant get it through.
I end up having to leave the paper hanging halfway out which i really don't like doing as someone might steal it (unlikely i know, but it could happen)!
Any tips as to how i can defeat this evil basket?
lol thanks everyone but unfortunately in this country, england, we dont have mail boxes and when we deliver the papers we HAVE to push them through the door and not just fling em over the wall. wish i could do that, would be so much easier.
when i asked this question it was in the uk YA but oh well.
Next Sunday just knock the door and very politely tell the people you are concerned that owing the basket they have you are unable to get the paper through and don't want to push too hard in case it gets damaged. Ask if it is okay just to put the paper half way through the letterbox? If they say yes then it is their responsibility if it gets stolen. They will also probably think it is very nice that you are being so thoughtful.......look out for bigger tip Lol. One suggestion as to why people have these may because they have a dog like mine. He is very well behaved but the slightest sound from the letterbox and he goes crazy, wouldn't trust him with the postman's hand. I didn't even know you could still get these baskets. If the people don't have a dog perhaps the previous owners did.
