Sorry for the workers, but if my recent run-in with them is anything to go by, then I'm not really surprised..
I have had the pleasure of many courier companies over the years, but my experience with them earlier this week is the worst ever from a company.

To be honest, I didn't even know they were still going; I thought they had merged with another company, as I've not seen any of their vans for years

Cut-throat businesses employing stressed-out people 'forced' to drive dangerously on peanut pay, clogging up our roads and town centres with white vans parked on the pavements and street corners.
Bring back local shops I say.

Business-post driver comes to our place. Self-employed, he does between 130 to 170 deliveries a day.

It is horrible to lose your job at any time but, at this time of year, it's cruel. Unfortunately looks like the company was run badly and the management will probably be to blame.
It's a fast-growing market - so they must have made a right 'pig's ear' of it.

The warehouse/distribution staff are likely to be minimum wage E. Europeans etc anyway.

I used to do those kind of numbers in my previous job when it cost £35 for diesel per week and each delivery earned me over a £1.
Very hard work, but you didn't mind when £150 on average could be made each day. Double drop rate on a Sunday too. Happy days. This was over a decade ago too.

Very much like the local minicabs around my part of London
They all try to undercut each other so the pay ends up being peanuts = Eastern Europeans
