AFAIK the only timed deliveries have been SDs. The system is in place for Tracked but I don't think it's ever been used

Used to be able to pay for an earlier than scheduled delivery , every thing that was available at the agreed time would be delivered , any items coming to hand after the timed delivery would be delivered with the scheduled delivery

Wouldn't that have been just "Firms Walks"?

I've got 2 firms that have always been timed 7.30am for whatever in at the time,and the rest with the duty.But since covid they probably only get the timed 70-80% of the time.
I've always presumed they pay probably pay quite a good fee so have every right to be annoyed when I rock up (10-10.30 am) usually.
Have wondered if they rules have been relaxed because bosses couldn't give a **** but then again they don't seem to care about much really.
