I always get concerned if I see an Amazon van in my rearview mirror - I understand they are on a tough, inflexible schedule and this can lead to them cutting corners (figuratively and literally).
That said, I’ve never had to help an Amazon van driver out but have found a DPD driver and one from Amazon Flex wandering around lost (the street numbering can be tricky around here but I solved most of it for Open Street Map). I also had to chase a postie down the road after they dropped a handful of letters but didn’t notice.
Proper pay, a decent workload and some training would solve a lot of these problems.
In my experience, the Evri and DPD drivers are fucking maniacs behind the wheel while the Royal mail drivers are quite reasonable.
I’ll happily get my package a day late if it means my kid is less likely to get run over.
