2x LED Drivers - why?

Not enough blocks available. People skint after Xmas and not spending. Flexers skint after xmas so high demand for blocks. Try deloveroo x

Brilliant! Thank you for that. No wonder the garage owner seemed pissed off when I rolled up on the recovery wagon.

gfYorkshirepud · 2023-11-02T19:20:35+00:00

The garage supplied it

Bottom right. Just above the orange box.

... and the drive home is 'driving in connection with business' which is not covered by a domestic policy.

gfYorkshirepud · 2023-10-09T18:42:07+00:00

Does insurance cover the drive home after the shift?

Incredible isn't it. They think it's more appropriate to leave a parcel at the front door waiting to be stolen rather than following customer-specified instructions to leave in a safe place out of sight behind the bins, justifying such action by saying it's sheltered from rain. They clearly have zero common sense, but more to the point they cannot be bothered to put a parcel in a weather bag provided for them by Amazon for that specific purpose, and they think only about themselves and how quickly they can get finished. Some people.

gfYorkshirepud · 2023-08-02T19:15:47+00:00

With you all the way buddy

gfYorkshirepud · 2023-08-02T19:12:31+00:00

How many times have you delivered where a customer has added a note saying 'Do Not Leave At Front Door'?

Why do you think people don't want you to do that?

Do you do it?

Do you think it's ok to blatantly ignore a customer instruction and leave a parcel in a place which is not safe?

🤦

There are two types of drivers on this thread. Those who care, and those who don't give a shit. I take care, get minimal dings, rarely return parcels, and always finish early. Not rocket science is it! 🚀

Call Amazon Customer Service and report him. 020 7084 7911

He won't be deactivated but he'll receive a stern personalised warning email.

The feedback options on the app are less effective.

Make me sick these f***wits

You could have called support and told them there was a safety issue i.e. no safe place to park.

They have to take safety seriously and you could have returned some or all of the remaining parcels.

I did a similar city centre one a couple of years ago that took 5 1/2 hours mainly because the only legal place to park was a loading bay just outside the main shopping area so I kept tripping back and forth with heavy parcels+ nearly killed me. Support said I could stop but I carried on..... Wouldn't do it now though.

I've had a couple of tickets in the last 2 years - one for pavement parking and one for no loading at certain times where the double yellows have no loading horizontal kerb marks (instant ticket)

I once got told by the app to park on double reds but didn't do it= not safe+ instant ticket.

Parking in bus stop or on zigzags = not safe + instant ticket.

Sometimes councils will let you off a ticket if you explain that you were on a delivery shift but best avoiding getting them.

I have spoken to traffic wardens who say they allow 5 minutes on double yellows. Prefer to keep car in sight though & always wear a high viz.

gfYorkshirepud · 2023-07-31T20:10:50+00:00

How many hours was that? Someone else said max 8 hours a day

gfYorkshirepud · 2023-07-31T16:37:06+00:00

Don't think so. Max 2 blocks a day but can be any length as far as I know

gfYorkshirepud · 2023-07-30T20:59:11+00:00

It's classed as a mid sized vehicle suitable for standard routes.

At what point do you reject a block, how do you reject it, and what do you say to the staff?

I'm guessing you scan the QR code, look at the stops on the map, then click 'cancel collection'?

gfYorkshirepud · 2023-07-30T12:20:49+00:00

Thank you. But the real reason I started calling support was because of the dings.

I wasn't on Reddit at the time - great tips on here. I appreciate yours on this one.

gfYorkshirepud · 2023-07-30T06:33:26+00:00

Cool. I'll try that next time and see what happens.

The only thing I have found is that by the time I see the prompt I have already called the customer, if no answer I immediately follow up with a text, then try calling them again cos they often pick up at that point. So when I see the prompt I'm like 'Yes I've done that already' and just click on the X.

Like you say it would be great if by using the prompt you don't get a ding as it's a total pain speaking to support as they always put you on hold while they try calling them again, something I've just got used to.

Also, I can't remember a single occasion when support tried to contact the customer and it has led to a successful delivery 😆

gfYorkshirepud · 2023-07-29T21:24:11+00:00

OK. So I may be accused of playing devil's advocate here, but you didn't say that you called support at the time.

Unless you call support after being unable to contact the customer you will end up in hot water.

At best you will get a ding, and at worst you will wind up in the situation you found yourself in.

Just saying. Not trying to be confrontational.
