Whilst your delivering the next few houses, you can keep an eye and make sure the parcel gets collected. Cmon that goes without saying !
I don't know if IB do random patrols but what it they do and they spot you doorstepping parcels? You'd be in the s**t

All them few moments saved each time could potentially add up to enough time allowing the DOM to add more delivery points to your walk.

Anything with a valid barcode will likely have been scanned somewhere in the system so could potentially get flagged up somewhere as a failure

In regards to the HCT, i'm pretty sure you can only leave it unattended for 10 mins, locked up or not.
