I've just got off the phone with Angard. I've been waiting 4 weeks now and I'm still being processed for security checks. I'm meant to be starting tonight at Canterbury at 10pm, I was told to wait until I get an email... This is starting to get frustrating :cry

Wes, you are the first person I have found on here signed up for Canterbury. Have a look at he Canterbury thread I wrote on the board. This year is a total mess. I am still waiting for confirmation and like you was supposed to start on the 28th. Not sure I even want the job now after reading the troubles people have been having. Starting is just the beginning of the nightmare. Non-payment of wages seems widespread. And they have reduced the pay to a pittance. I've worked the last three Xmas's at Canterbury but this Angard lot are making me wonder if I should bother this year.

Hi guys, got my text and email just after 3 this afternoon, I was supposed to start on Monday 28th and have been on PROCESSING SECURITY CHECKS for exactly 1 week. My email this afternoon invites me to start work on Monday 5th 2-10 (shift i requested), and my status on royal mail site is now 'HIRED AND START DATE AGREED' - I'm not taking it as gospel until I'm physically there sorting parcels but thought I'd post to let you's know that you may still get work just a week later than expected like me (touch wood!), keep all your fingers and toes crossed and I will keep them crossed for you!
