Heavy packets!
Is it me, or are some of the packets we deliver getting heavier?

Sometimes not heavier, but bulkier. One time I had to pass a packet which looked like a pair of pillows onto the packet van driver, and another which looked like a kitchen bin as they wouldn't fit into my HCT!dave72 wrote:Is it me, or are some of the packets we deliver getting heavier?

In the past year I have had a hunting rifle ( sent special) to a gun smiths and a motor scooter engine, thank goodness we are mostly rural and have our own van.

Re: Heavy packets!
65kg is a bit exaggerated. I have to load the f***ing things onto PF trailers 5 days a week along with all the other stuff they send out.eric the viking wrote:Sorry we're too busy delivering 65kg cement mixers from Screwfix.Hitcher wrote:I thought all that stuff was going to PF!

Screwfix said if you don't take our oversized and overweight parcels we will take our account elsewhere so h&s went out the window.IloveMYredTROLLEY! wrote:Good to see delivery staff abiding by the h&s weight limits.
