Some people do the ebay thing get loads of s**t and then sell it on for even more.
This exactly. Some woman was doing this and confessed to Me the company barred Her. She gets round it by writing Her house number and using a different name on each order. I have delivered to Mrs Pep Pigg, Mrs J Depp and everyone else you can think of to Her

Well I'm 63 now, so for the next four years, staying at home all day playing the system wouldn't be to bad a thing to do, but working all my life I guess a honest days work is inbuilt in me

Deliver the parcels one day then pick them up the following day on collection.
Delivered a large oversized box on Monday, scanned the route header on Tuesday and that address has a pickup. 'Small parcel <3kg'. OK, I'll get it as I do the loop. Nope, it's the big f-off box. Told the guy he'd have to wait another hour till we came round with the van.

This has happened several times since PC was introduced, and every time it's pissing minutes away. The weight brackets might be important for postage, but they are a useless guide for conducting the collection. Dimensions: it's not just the name of the provider of the terrible uniform.
The machine stops.
