What happens when your PDA stops working in the rain or the battery's dead?

You aint going to be scanning the parcels on the doorstep then are you?
Do what you’re meant to in that situation, fill in an epod card and hand it in to the locker.

We take a picture of it and scan it back at the office. i give packets to people i know who were not in if i see them when im driving along never had any problems.
I do the same in all honesty, far easier than writing it all down and if it's raining the epod cards often turn to mush anyway so all details are lost.
Back to the office, indoor mode, enquiry office, scanner failure... zap, zap, zap... submit, job done. :Very Happy
