Background
Delivery companies failure to pay a suitable wage and their use of contracting employees has resulted in over worked drivers offering the lowest of quality of delivery services. This includes parcel theft, signature forgery, cases of public urination and other unnacceptable behaviours. Noticeable decline has occured since Covid, whereby parcels are no longer left in safe designated spaces, drivers are not attempting to deliver to neighbours, and forging signatures to leave parcels unnatended.
