Consider yourself lucky it worked! I received a bad monitor recently and sent it back. I had to wait for 3 days AFTER they received it back before they sent a replacement. Apparently their returns dept is a tad understaffed.

I won't be using them again.

Shows how little you know about the parcels industry! Most large customers like Ebuyer, Amazon Screwfix etc will have one or more semi trailer sat on a loading dock, the parcels are loaded directly into these trailers. Then depending on how far from the couriers hub they are will depend on what time the trailer will leave. Most hubs do not start the overnight sort till about 10pm and it goes on for a good few hours with the loaded trailers full of presorted parcels going back to the local depots from about 3am, from there the parcel is then sorted onto a driver/delivery route by about 6am before the driver loads up his van and is on his way by 6.30-7am.

So it is quite easy for a Ebuyer to have a 11pm cut off and still get items delivered by 9am the next morning - assuming they actually put it on the triler in the first place.

It is also why most courier hubs are in the midlands as this means that most local depots are only 3-4 hours drive away, so easy to do in a shift for a single driver.

As a company who belongs to a hub system our trailer has to leave here by 7.30pm
remember they have to be unloaded and the reloaded on to other trailers some of which have to travel to the further most corners of the uk so have to be away early

And "here" is where? There are many factors that effect your departure time, arrival time at the hub being just one of them. There is also the availability of the drivers as well as the usage of the tractor units to pull the trailers.

But if you are a large company like Ebuyer who ship many thousands of items a day you will be given the highest priority, so can be last in to the hub etc.

BTW it can't be any higher than 100%, despite what football players/managers say on MOTD.

In terms of probability no, it cant. Otherwise yes it can.

Um, er,...wrong!!!!

Using the example of footballers/sportsbods - they typically claim that they are going to put in 200% effort. In this scenario, once they've put in 100% effort [ie all they have], they certainly can't put in any more effort [not even 1%, let alone 100%]...so 100% is the max.

So it's not just relevant to probabilities......
