I was out doing packets at 7am for 2 weeks before this week (christmas deal started this week). I'm 30 hours so was not due to start till 8:15 on monday/tuesday and 8:45 Thurs/Friday. I would managed to deliver around 20-30 packets in the that time. Some days there was 3 of us doing it so we would maybe do 60-90 between us so took a little pressure of the normal drivers.

Yep. 4 drivers leaving the office at 7am to deliver any available parcels. Working well - DO is more less clear every day.

We have an oversized packet delivery run each morning. Sadly they can't manage to deliver parcels on anybody's walk except their own. So then all the oversize parcels come back and we struggle to get everything in the Noddy car.
