Didi you ask who is doing this extra 50%?

EVRI are struggling, so who gets their work? Us as usual. Our office was absolutely swamped with ASOS parcels this morning. These are meant to be delivered by EVRI, the majority of the parcels and clothing. I've never seen anything like in 9 years of working here. No one taking breaks, sick through the roof, people turning up late.

Why are people not taking breaks? You won’t get paid for working through,and management doesn’t care less about your wellbeing

Don't know about EVRI but suddenly Amazon are swamping us

Do we still get our 10% share of the post-tax profits. That'll be.....£4 per employee pro rota.

Exactly this. We make sure we have a break at the same stage of our walks. One, because we`re hungry, and two, you need a break , both mentally and physically to be able to do the second part.

Our DO gets loads of ASOS LATs, if your DO was only swamped today were they just the T24's from the weekend LATs?

I saw our local EVRI courier still working at 5pm tonight, he now works longer hours than your average postie, is own car must be taking a battering being driven for 9/10 hours a day.

I can't see parcels can be up 50% in just one DO unless you've taken work from local DO's? I reckon ours are up 20%/25%, it now seems virtually impossible to deliver any post as parcels take most of your shift to deliver but the post boxes I entered today were all rammed with Christmas cards!!

[dazzler123]

Today we were told no parcel relief as they are swamped, and all agency are spoken for. That along with 5 lots of door to doors. This is excruciating

Why are EVRI meant to deliver them? Royal Mail got a ASOS contract months ago

We were told around 20% up on last year

Doesn't help that the rounds are 30% bigger than they were this time last year

Always take your break,remember start time finish time simple,if you don’t think you will get done speak to the manager and let them make the decision on what you take and what you leave

It won't have been an exclusive contract no company would put all their eggs in one basket.

Apparently they're 20% up in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. Didn't have Shein last year at this volume, and Boots have gone through the roof. Our division's ok, but others are saying it's a week since they delivered any mail.
