    very easy to make comments like this when you don’t do the job yourself. Try working 6 days a week (7 days a week from October to January), a minimum of 12 hours a day, 450 stops per day at least.

    give us clear instruction on what to do with it if you’re not going to be in and you won’t have an issue. Leave no instructions and I’m afraid you’re your own worst enemy.

    Other than the NHS, no one has worked harder than the postal/courier services during covid, no one.

    I applied for a job as a postie years ago but when the interviewer said 'on yer bike' I thought I'd failed and walked out ;) Ended up rejecting the job offer and working in a job club in Barnsley and met my future missis who was working as a receptionist there so must have been fate ;)

    Always leave clear instructions when given the chance. Despite this I've had many a item abandoned on the front door step over the years. Things shoved in bins with no card through to know it's been left.
    I'm sure this isn't everyone, and I know these delivery drivers are under huge pressure and often don't get paid for return journeys.
    I'm not suggesting they don't work hard, I'm sure they do. Regardless bad service is bad service and it happens.
    Factories and warehouses up and down the country are full of people who have been working hard without even being able to apply social distancing.
