What happens to the contents of The Boxes that are emptied while on delivery
The collection drivers won`t be able to take all the parcells brought back, especially if it will fill their vans. They won`t have space for their normal collection. I`m curious how this issue will be solved.

Had my first one yesterday knocked the door got given the parcel but it had a collect plus label on it asked if she had the right label which she found. Five minutes later she appeared with the parcel with proper label on go to scan the parcel and the barcodes didn’t match. I took the parcel anyway and put down as not collected lucky it was a lightish day as I was there nearly ten minutes.

Work your hours and go home.
What so you just work your hours and even though you have to collect parcel you then cut-off because the post is it taking you 10 to 15 minutes extra every day it’s not gonna work is it people just end up doing more work as usual unpaid
There will be NO unpaid work and the 10-15 mins??? is more like a hour and half under the current workload, so yes work your hours and cut off.
CUT OFF!!!
