I have always wondered how these drivers get around insurance issues ?

Also these people that deliver pizza in their car, have they informed their insurance company ?

Overloaded with parcels to deliver, no proper training, 50-60 stops in a 4 hour block(seriously? 4 minutes to drive to a location, park your car, find 1 package amongst 60 others, find the correct address  Plain

Take on the job in December. Drive to the depot and fill up your car with parcels. And that's you Xmas shopping done in 5 minutes.

How are couriers paid?

With Amazon Prime I can order something for £50, or £1, and it's delivered the next day (or very rarely, the same day). I can understand a margin in a higher priced purchase will cover the cost of delivery, but not so in the cheaper buys.
Even without Prime, you can get free delivery on most things.

This explains Amazon Prime. Basically, delivery is built into the price and Amazon's profit margins are tiny.

At least one of following are compulsory for pizza delivery drivers: a brake light out, a reverse light out, four teenage kids in the car, no business insurance, very poor hygiene.
