Customers that get packets EVERY day !

Post by krussel »

Me and my colleage have been having a game for the past 2 weeks as we both have customers that get packets or parcels almost every day. Last week his customer had a packet for 4 days as did mine so a tie. This week iam a already 2 days up as my ebayer has had one or two everyday this week. Just tommorrow to go to get a straight 5 days :nana

It amazes me how they get something every day :crazy:
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Mine is a guy (about 40) who lives with his mum who must be around 70 years. She has about the smallest letter box in the road which means i have to knock and drag the old girl to the door. Do feel sorry for her some days when she woke up from a nap.

Its all business for us of course but these people really must order something every day, really strange. :hmmmm

A Royal Mail spokesman said " Dispite some customers recieving packets everyday, overall mail counts are down. As a result we will be requiring further savings from delivery offices, to help pay for planners & Moya's bonus"

:Very Happy

On two of the walks i cover, one is a nurse working nightshifts and another is a mother looking after a disabled son. Not all of our customers are lazy, skiving or on benefits.

There is truth in a lot of the China ebay packets going to the cheaper area's of town. When i was delivering to the large expensive addresses it was more like John Lewis parcels.

Ive just ordered 3 items from China 5 mins ago so i guess that sums me up then :left:
