Sadly, people do want people delivering their parcels to 10pm.
But they don’t want to pay for it, the sender doesn’t want to pay for it, RM don’t want to pay for it, so we must pay for it.
And others will target it and steal it and resell it.

Which people though? I'm sure many people would happily wait a day... Has anyone actually asked the public?
I was listening to a small girl the other morning giving her Dad grief ... "But I WANT ......", apart from thinking she needs a slap on the arse I thought that's exactly what our customers are doing! :hmmmm

People have just got used to that instant gratification, who the hell actually needs that REALLY urgent bit of tat ... THE SAME DAY? :crazy:
I don't even think it's the customers, its the courier companies telling people that's what they want and people use it because it's there, not because they need or even want it. Obviously there are exceptions, and people occasionally NEED something urgently, but I really don't think the public care about that extra 24 hours for most things
I'm sure lots of us remember the phrase when we used to order something - 'Please allow 28 days for delivery' !!!

If anyone knocked on my door at 10pm I’d tell them to get lost, if they knocked on my door at 10pm with a packet for my neighbour I’d smack them round the head with it.
Can you imagine someone’s finally managed to get their small child to sleep at night then you come along and ring their doorbell with a packet oh they’ll love that, that’ll go down well….
None of my customers have ever mentioned that they want their packets at night but I get a lot of them saying they would prefer to get their mail and packets first thing in the morning before they start their day. Like we used to many years ago

When do we get a decision from Jacob Rees-Mogg?
Is it by the end of next week?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I think it will have been put back due to the death of the Queen.

Why not scrap the DSA agreement and get paid full price. It must be around 80% of letters are now DSA ?
