Bloke on the phone told me it's from 7am till 4pm.

Not much notice and I'm not holding my breath, I'll just have to see what happens.

Just got a call too! I thought it was some sort of prank call after 3 weeks of constant calls and emails to them and no one answering...

Update:

Went to Chelmsford delivery office this morning, got there at about 06:43, and guess what!!!, they weren't expecting anyone today.

The manager said 28 were expected on Wednesday.

That's the 2nd time this has happened now, costing me £9.80 in train fares altogether, and I bet that Angard won't reimburse me.

Update #2:

Here we go again!

Just got a call, this time from a very nice lady from the Royal Mail, not Angard.

Start Wednesday 7th Dec, 07:00 - 16:00

She said she had a spreadsheet in front of her with my name on it , so fingers crossed, it should be kosher this time.

She also said she'd been trying to phone Angard and couldn't get an answer, so what chance have the rest of us got when the Royal Mail can't speak to any Angardians?

Just turn up and see!!, there's the hallmark of an organisation that really knows what they're doing!

What number have you got, this one?, 01245 456233

That will be the right number then.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Hi there! I'm messaging you from ITV London. We are doing a story on how temporary postal workers in Chelmsford are complaining they haven't been paid yet by Angard. I was wondering if you are one of them and want to speak to us sooner rather than later. We can meet you around Chelmsford/London. Give us a call on 0207 430 4527 if you'd like to do an interview with us. Many thanks.
