DHL @ Home

[JodieWodie]

I have a leaflet about working for the above company
It says they are looking for people to work flexible hours in the day/evening to deliver parcels to peoples homes at times that are more convenient to them (ie after normal work hours)

Has anyone any experience of working for this company ?

I guess it would take a lot of thinking about as you are using your car, fuel, phone, etc...
Also if they would pay your tax and NI as you are 'self employed' sort of

Cheers !

Hi,

also you would need the car insured for business use and you occupation would be courier (insurance hikes for that)

Thanks for that

Contacted the company anyway...
sounds like a bit of a swizz to me
You get 60p for each parcel you successfully deliver
For that, you have to pay fuel... etc
You also have to be in your home before 2pm every day to collect any parcels that need delivering
so my other part time job is out of the question there

SO basically, if I get say... 10 parcels a day, (well, evening to deliver)
I could earn up to £6 for a days work
minus all the fuel costs etc..

I can't be bothered with that
No wonder they are recruiting !

I used to work for White Arrow (now Reality) a few years ago. When work was subbed out like that, most of the deliveries would be in the same area, so you could have 10 deliveries in 1 street. Unless DHL have gotten into the home shopping game, I'd be surprised if there would be that sort of concentration.
