in Boost your income
Ive been told by a few different people about deliveringf parcels for the catalogue companies, but I cant seem to find any info.

Id love to work from home, spend more time with my kids, and not have to report o my boss!

Does anyone have any info, or even better, actually do this type of work?

Let me know, thanks

Paul

    The only thing with some of these, just to make you aware...I used to do this in my car, but if you are in "dodgy" estates etc, you have a risk of your car being broken into, be careful.
    My suggestion and/or advice is my own and it is up to you if you follow it, please check the advice given before acting on it.

    All those parcels on display in the back of the car can be tempting for some. Many home delivery couriers use small vans like escorts, kangoo and berlingo.
