Their top 100 Sorting Offices will be open and items will be delivered to houses around the M25 area

 

[Section 8]

I thought they'd pissed everyone off at some time or another, but I hadn't considered God.

Can chalk our Lord up on that list now.

Some other delivery firms offer Sunday delivery so they are doing this to keep up with the competition.

Don't agree with this at all. I personally don't want post or parcels delivered on a Sunday morning :x
Call me old fashioned but Sunday is becoming like any other day of the week.

Is nothing sacred anymore

It's bad enough they bang on the door at 6.45am on Saturdays :evil: Now they want to do it on sundays to :evil: Then again I could always use it as a wake up call to go to the boot sale :lol:

I'd rather wait until Monday than have the Postman knocking on my door on a Sunday morning.

IMO this is just not right.

What about those among us who don't view Sunday as special cos we aint daft enough to believe in an invisible sky fairy? :lol:

The missus whacks me every time I use that phrase.

I'm all for it - times have changed, people need to accept that. We now buy half our stuff online, parcel deliveries have increased ten-fold, and 90% of people aren't at home Monday-Friday (unless you still live in the 50s and have wifey at home cleaning all day!) So it suits me just fine.

I don't see a problem with it, they are just keeping up with the competion, be weird getting parcels on a sunday though.

I don't go to church on a Sunday or am I particularly religious, but Sunday is still 'different' to the rest of the week (well it is where I live anyway) and I think people should respect that. Most of the shops where I live still don't even open on a Sunday - so parcel deliveries to them would be pretty pointless.

More people work at home now than ever before so I don't consider that a valid point really.

Yes times have changed and everything moves on eventually, but I think certain parts of life have to be respected, instead of money, greed and survival, which is what it all boils down to at the end of the day sadly.

Sadly i suspect the money and greed will mean that sunday deliveries are inevitable, in the big cities at least.
