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!
