I wouldn't trust these guys to deliver a Jumbo car sponge intact..

Chucking boxes over fences, on the roof etc...pay peanuts get monkeys at 60p a drop off.
 
The really funny bit I saw on tv was some expert said that they hadn't got the proper training to deal with fragile parcels!
Really complicated job to learn how to lift and set down parcels
 
They staff genuinely don't give a stuff, who's fault is it though? Theirs? The management for their minimum wage? and being told more speed? Or ours for wanting 'free' deliverys next day..
 
We were on about carriers at teatime, I was outside a place this afternoon when a Yodel van drew up , the bloke got in the back of the van , and we clearly heard in kick and throw the parcels around untill he found the one he wanted .' Shakes his head '
 
I think it comes down to the fact that most delivery companies pay nothing to there employees and because of that you end up with monkeys that dont want to be there and only their because they can't get a job anywhere else
 
When we first looked into this, I learned that CityLink (now gone bust) allowed 90 seconds for their driver to park, get out of his van, locate the parcel(s), knock on the door, deliver the parcel, get a signature, return to the van.

90 seconds. It took me longer to type it! Can you imagine doing that with a boiler?

I understand that the Asprays lads average 15 mins per drop, which sounds a lot more reasonable.

They need the 15 minutes cos they need to find extra help to lift the cases of the lorrys that come out without taillifts

Ps Thanks for sorting out the 2 port

Hi all, this is probably a daft question but I need to run my cold feed from one side of my wall mounted boiler to the other. Running it beneath the boiler is difficult with lots of obstacles, is it okay if I run soldered copper over / across the top of the boiler? It'll be about 4" off the top...

Ideal Logic 24, Previous problem was that the hot water was only cold or barely warm if the heating was in use. If heating was off and boiler cold then would get hot water most of the time. Changing the flow cartridge about 2 years ago (when I moved in) solved this problem enough to suffer it as...
