80p, I used to get 50p per parcel when I worked for them about 3 years ago. Glad I gave it up tho. I can earn in a week what I earned in a month for hermes

Ah, he must have been all liveried up on the van and dressed in all their gear, otherwise he'd have forfeited 5% from the 48p!

Another one to add, Costa Latte discs launched over a 6ft fence, most of them leaking after opening the box. Maybe they have catapults fitted to their vans nowadays.
