Hammered on parcels and packets. Mail a bit heavier. Went in the callers office late on and that was just mental.

80% of ours all big Amazons. Those PS4s weigh some :shock:

Talking to the local man with a car courier and he was telling us the local Amazon guy quit :left: The Amazon guy was paid £100 a day, but out of this they pay £30 for the van lease and their own fuel for a 12 hour day over a massive area :shock: Even on their day off they pay £30 van lease :shock: (Don't know how much of this is true mind)

Re Friday, we had 2 managers up to our sub-office because they didn't believe how much stuff we had. I heard one mutter "f**k me!" shook his head and walked out :left:

They sent 3 spare men up to take some off us :left:
