DHL@Home Anyone work for them?

ecoelle

Had a delivery and missed it, but the card they put through the door said they were looking for people to work in our area as flexible drivers a few hours a day. Does anyone work for them on this basis and what's the deal? Do i have to be able to deliver between certain times and do i need to be able to work 7 days a week? Just an enquiry
Thanks

I use DHL as my couriers at work, it often frustrates me as they pass customer orders onto home couriers even though I supply business address, industrial estates mainly and the at home is therefore attempted for delivery after business hours, so I know the hours can be flexible.

They clasify address by location so some industrial areas are classed as residential for some weird reason so they pass to the home courier, this means my next day delivery takes an extra day as the first day is lost being passed to the home courier.

Contact them to find out more obviously but I now they delivery at night so it may fit around your schedule now

Hiya, i used to work for them when it first started out using self employed couriers and i only lasted a month but that was mainly due to the workload, they said part time but i was getting 4 hrs + some days and had another part time cleaning job and just couldn't fit it all in.

Yes its a job and flexible but you also must consider your petrol and car up keep costs, but good with children as its part time and you can do evenings to fit with partner, carers etc.

I used to work m-f but i think near christmas they want saturdays too. But not sundays and i used to get 65p a parcel, but sometimes you could spend best part of 20 mins trying to get one of the curtain twitching neighbours to take the parcel in for you . If you have to redeliver think it goes down to 25p i can't quite remember but there were no returns.

So there are a few negatives but its just what your prepared to put up with, i can think of worse jobs
