Like the old maxim " You pay peanuts you will get monkeys" if the staff don't feel valued they treat their job with the same attitude especially if they know they can get sacked at any time.

Theyre paid per parcel so if you have 4 items thats £2 then mayb a return from the same house for another 50p per parcel. wife used to do it and was making a fortune, they also get bonuses if all delivered by a certain time ect
