Yodel are a farce.
Upon getting his dundy from his previous job my dad was employed by model, though chucked it after 2 days.
Seems you just show up at the regional depot for a 2 minute interview, are shown the hand held device for signing for parcels and sent off with it to await a delivery of parcels to your house the next day.
I was off work and helped as my dad is non to technical with computers.!
I’m sure folk just sign up for the job to get a couple of days worth of goodys sent to them till someone cottonseed on….
You are paid something like 40p per parcel, buy on both days there were only about 40 parcels, so do the maths, deduct fuel and add in the couple of hours window that you have to wait about for the delivery van to drop off that days parcels….
The whole idea doubtless seemed a good idea in a meeting room somewhere but you cannot pay peanuts and expect to get many good delivery people in.
Just take something simple like leaving your home number on the ‘Your not in card ‘ and offer them the option to pick the parcel up at your house later that night as we did to make it easy… But I suspect a lot of parcels are scanned in the delivery persobe living room as person not in put of sheer laziness…
Went on too far for writing this on my phone….
