the yellow bag fills up with water imo.
and the pouches stink of s**t when drying out

just remembered when i did my induction some years ago the fella who did it said 'if you ever want to be a rich man,think of a way to deliver mail and keep it dry'.

I get laughed at - I use a very big Wheelie Bin bag to keep my mail dry. Its bigger and more flexible than the yellow insert and if you get a thick ply one its usually hard wearing and won't split like the yellow one does sometimes when you fill them to the 16kg limit.

If they can't supply a bag that does not leak then it's there problem i still deliver it wet or dry do i care if it's wet i guess not !!

I have got a hard enough time having a bag that isn't split for carrying mail
