    Maybe they are all timed and if she finishes too soon, she might be penalised??? Although of course getting stuck in traffic somewhere could ruin all that anyway .....

    I've also experienced this: the courier explained that it was down to the barcode scanners they use for parcels not allowing the parcel to be scanned before its allotted time. The courier agreed with me that it was absolute madness but was unable to do anything about it.

    Perhaps we customers should complain to the courier companies about this practice - which seems designed to make life harder for the drivers (who we know are already overworked).

    That really does seem daft ... as I said earlier, much traffic or no traffic makes all the difference in how quickly you get to a destination .. unless they are obliging with a specified customer's requests not to deliver before a certain time ....??

    Splashy, please don't let one individual stop your posting on SoapBoards. All the above support shows you are a well respected ,witty and very likeable guy. Soap Boards is a very friendly site , but occasionally the odd person tries to disrupt this. Stick at it, keep on trucking, looking forward to reading your next posts , particularly the food exploits.
