10 things to remember when delivering parcels in the rain

We deliver for Amazon almost 365 days a year so we know all about delivering in the rain (because you know…British summer and all that).

Being prepared for the elements is key to success.

Delivering parcels in the rain can be challenging, but there are several strategies that can help:

• Wear appropriate clothing and footwear that will keep you dry and protect you from the elements

• Use a waterproof bag or cover to keep the parcels dry

• Check the weather forecast and plan your route accordingly

• Slow down and be extra cautious when driving in wet conditions

• Keep your headlights and taillights on for visibility

• Use extra caution when entering or exiting a vehicle

• Be mindful of potential hazards such as puddles or flooded areas

• Try to deliver parcels to covered areas such as porches or garages

• Avoid carrying too many parcels at once to keep your hands free for stability

• Keep a change of clothes and a towel in your vehicle for when you finish your deliveries

By following these strategies, you can deliver parcels safely and efficiently in rainy weather.

Always remember to prioritise safety over speed and make sure you stay dry and protected from the elements.

And don’t forget that the sun will be out again soon.

Happy delivering!
