shhh, i guess i shouldnt tell you this but....
Dont bloody trust parcel force
Did some temp work for them a few years back, and it was a great laugh. No one really had a clue what was going on, u just took out some parcels and tried your best to get rid of them. If people werent in, we were told to do our best to get rid of the parcels, neighbours, garages, over the back fence etc etc etc. That kinda sucked for some people.
But what made it worse was the state of the depot, just piles and piles of parcels, chucked about and pretty much all getting messed up together, so that it could end up on a route miles from original destination, hence why parcels go missing. Not saying posties are dishonest, but if a parcel from oxford ended up on your round in say devon, what u gonna do?? (ps i never did this cos i was too lazy to think about it at the time
)
Special delivery is prob the best option as it is at least insured
