Leaving Parcels for 72 hours

Post by Grumpyoldmailman »

This sounds like it’s going to be fun:

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/news.sky ... y-11986491" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.mirr ... 007505.amp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I wonder if the public will take it literally and want them leaving on the doorstep for 3 days.

If customers are that worried about the package being "infected" then stop ordering stuff!!! Had a customer yesterday throw a tea towel over the packet on the door step, did she think it was a chip pan fire.

And while they are worrying about it, stop looking at me like I am a piece of s**t for bringing the bloody thing - you ordered it!!

I collected a parcel on the doorstep that I ordered online the other day. I got to the door in seconds to see two delivery guys in a Yodel van pulling away.

Jeez,they didn't even wait to see if the package was being collected or not!
