For the amount we buy, I expect we get them for pennies.

If the Combo vans are £3.5k and actually have a significant cost to make, then these, with a relatively small cost are like a can of beer and bag of chips.

If "later during the round they find you" then you shouldn't hand over anything, especially a Special Delivery, to them in the street. :shock:
However, working in a backwater that's never had PDAs, if returning to the office past an address I advised a Special before 1pm I might call again if they've returned home in which case they just sign on the card against the original pre-1pm time. :Very Happy

3.5k sounds more like the annual running cost of the van rather than the purchase price
