If i was Emperor of the world i would make it a legal requirement for people who get an outrageous amount of packets daily, and are never in (A.K.A Taking the piss) to have one of them "Parcel safe" boxes. I've only ever seen about 5 and when I'm able to get rid of a hefty parcel in one I almost feel like shaking the owner's hand! It would save the customer so much time and effort to fork out on one because they probably spend more in petrol a month driving to the office to collect their packets.

Just a thought...If i was Emperor of the world i probably wouldn't be working for RM :hmmmm

Why not :chuckle Anyway they don't need a drop box - make everyone have a cat flap, I always used to go round the back to see if they had one.

That's a good point, one of the houses on the walk i've been on lately has a catflap on the front door, it has come in handy on a few occassions for getting rid of dastardly parcels...the cat probably hates me! :left:

Can someone explain to me how it is that people somehow don't hear you hammering on their door (I've been told I knock like a bailiff/ policeman), but suddenly come running when they hear the red card go through? I could happily throw the packet at their faces when they open the door asking why I've carded them when they are in.

because they are expecting baliffs/police so wait to see what card/letter comes through

Good point. I suppose I kind of answered my own question there. :crazy:
