More deliveries, more money

As long as there's availability, there is no limit on how many parcels you can deliver. If you’re doing a great job keeping customers happy, then there is no reason why you can’t take on more parcels to deliver. After all, the more you deliver, the more money you earn.

Collect parcels

Then you would visit your local Delivery Unit where you’ll be collecting all the parcels to be delivered that day.

Scan parcels

Next, you’ll scan the parcels and load up your vehicle, placing the parcels in the correct delivery order. Then it’s time to set your schedule and plan in some breaks. These schedules advise customers when they will receive their parcel. You can deliver parcels up to 9pm.
