Delivery time - what is too early?

Can't win with some people. Early I agree but it is not every day is it? I used to deliver early and had to rise at 5 am every day. Got loads of moans and insults for getting idle sods out of bed but they should be grateful they didn't have to wait in all day as someone has already stated. Do people still wear pajamas?

Why did you deliver so early? Maybe so you could finish early ? Idle sods we are not. Hubby didn't get to bed until after 2.00am cos he was at work. No doubt the driver had a snooze or rest in front of the telly in the afternoon... whose the idle sod now??

I remember a time when the customers needs came first as they were paying for the service. :mad:

Thankfully yes Mr T with folks like you ringing their doorbells at godforsaken hours!:D

7am quite adequate and I will stick up for any one of my drivers at work that knock someone out of bed at 7am. Before 7am then not great but could be acceptable depending on the circumstances.

But then again I am a morning person. Our drivers come in at 6am and start leaving at 6.30am but some start at 5am. I get up at 3am, 6 days a aweek so I can get to work for 3.30am and start organising the parcels for delivery - a sleep in the afternoon is quite justified but not allways necessary.

Yes! The question was intended ....

But I really object if I have to go out to help (what are PJs?? ).

......to be humorous;) I don't wear them .. hence the context of not wishing to go out to help?? The neighbours here are easily shocked .. and too many with dogs:eek:

6 30 is too early but you got the parcel on time rather than late at night

I delivered early because they were the rules. Very rarely knocked anyone up (ooer missus) before seven. If you get up every day at 5 am including Saturdays you are entitled to a snooze in the afternoon but quite often I was still working up to eight at night and probably earning less than some office worker on nine to five. Before you say it, I never had a choice but I blame Mrs Thatcher (I always do). Sixteen hour days don't do much for your health or social life and now I have long term health problems due to it. Don't you see a certain irony in your husband working until 2 am though? I would just like to say that I was in no way calling you or yours idle sods, just that from my experience a lot of people are. As I intimated, it was a one off and I don't really see what you are complaining about.
