1408040	2015-09-08 20:26:00	Wondering how much do the couriers get for delivering one parcel item? www.stuff.co.nz www.franchise.co.nz	pctek (84)
1408041	2015-09-08 21:59:00	You dont have a drivers licence ? :) I have ongoing issues with posties & parcels. But, that shouldnt be their job , you cant fit parcels onto the bike so its a stupid idea to have them deliver them (they have to use their own car to deliver the parcels) Couriers are human, they make mistakes. And they work 12+ hour days + saturday , getting bugger all for each package they deliver. Nope never had a licence. Or a car. Always used public transport. Or walked. Where I lived in Auckland and Sth Auckland, the bus stops were outside the front door. And across the road. I'm within walking distance here in Taupo to shops and town I've got a passport but thats 30 yrs old. And, I'm not planning on getting another one for $150-$180 Well true humans do make mistakes, but 3-4 times with the same courier?	Speedy Gonzales (78)

1408044	2015-09-08 22:43:00	... I signed for it, and there's a scan of a signature that isn't mine! Sounds like a joke!	bk T (215)

Just checked the updated status and apparently I signed for it, and there's a scan of a signature that isn't mine! Does it look suspiciously like the initials "L.B."? That's what Fastway have done often for me. Stick it in the Letter Box and sign for it themselves with "L.B."	Agent_24 (57)
1408046	2015-09-08 23:48:00	^Signed with my first name. The CourierPost guy asked if it was ok for him to sign so I said that was ok as there's pretty much always someone home.	Renegade (16270)
1408047	2015-09-09 01:03:00	www.stuff.co.nz www.franchise.co.nz Good articles. Read them... My step father couriers for Fastway for expanding large industrial area. He too got caught up in not allocating for GST. I service his van and truck - with help of a 40 year vet diesel mechanic mate sometimes. But he panicked when he put his back out. Never mind his back, he was more worried about servicing his run. Had to help there too - not me specifically - but got my brother in law's mate to run it for 2 months, who was a former courier driver. But long and semi-laborious hours for > 64 year old, 5.30 am to get to depot. Since some major business clients are 24/7. Home 6.30 pm. He could scale down though. Or sell. Stubborn.	kahawai chaser (3545)

You have to be carefull with sign on behalf/sig authority. At work Ive had couriers sign then take their damn time in delivering it : ie a day after they signed No reason to give sig authority if there allways someone there. Im never home during the day so I give those couriers sig authority, so for home deliveries I dont have to drive out to the depot to pickup after work	1101 (13337)
1408049	2015-09-09 01:59:00	www.stuff.co.nz www.franchise.co.nz Are franchises a bit of a scam, even the ones that 'guarantee' certain income levels. The 2 people I know who bought franchises found actual income was no where near the claims . And the income 'guarentee" was full of loopholes ,so pretty much worthless .	1101 (13337)
