my small post office has now taken on evri , dpd sand others , you are tripping over sacks , when evri collec or drop off the staff go to sort them out , leaving you stood there

the other day , RM van pulled up , drop off and collect , then an evri , basicly no customer srvice for about 10 mins
this is post office counters and not royal mail

on a brighter note , new laws coming into force in october , regarding couriers and delivery drivers , upto now the owners (lets say evri) wipe there hands when there is a raid on premises for illigals ettc , evri are not to blame , donr thru a sub contractor that just disapears
as of october the COMPANY are liable to £45000 per person

this sums it up better

"From 1 October, right to work checks stop applying only to direct employees.
Section 48 of the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Act 2025 comes into force that day, extending the regime to subcontractors, agency workers, casual and zero hours workers, and gig economy workers engaged through platforms.
For the parcel industry that is a significant shift, because the self-employed model has meant the checking duty has largely sat outside the carriers themselves.
Penalties go up to £45,000 per worker for a first breach and £60,000 for a repeat.
A recent raid at multiple Evri depots across the South East in July resulted in 10 arrests, which would cost Evri up to £600,000 under the new legislation."

you happy now Geoff
