Deliveries to farm in current situation

[B R C]

Load of fert due in 8.00am this morning. I am happy to stay away from from driver but considering not signing paperwork as no idea where driver has been and certainly from a long way out of this area. Just trying to do what’s right, in a small way. Too cautious? Does a tad silly when there were hundreds of cars parked up at Dunstable Downs yesterday all walking within metres of each other, idiots.

Disposable glove and use your pen

 

[Kidds]

Driver will sign for you. Drivers are probably under instruction not to let you sign anyway.

 

[Working from home]

Trouble is, if you dont sign for it the driver/ Haulier might not get paid, through no fault of their own. All has some sort of knock on effect doesnt it. I agree with your concerns however.

Had a parcel come sat morning, driver just left it by the door and scuttled off, when I got there he just shouted OK through the gate at me.

 

[Daddy Pig]

driver could take a photo of you unloading, better proof than a signature

 

[Herdwick sheep]

Royal Mail have been instructed to just leave parcel on step and knock to make sure you get it ,then ask your name and postman types name in and puts a signature code in so you have nothing to touch. I’ll be very surprised if other companies don’t do something similar.

How do you sign something from 2m away?
Answer- you don't!!
Get him to sign your name. Life has changed

That will change today - the world is changing very fast, some organisations taking a few hours to realise the enormity of change that is occurring. Took Red Tractor two days last week. Keep safe.

 

[Paddington]

Royal Mail, Hermes, DPD etc sign for us, Parcel Force ditto but has to come to the back door to give the dog a biscuit.

you have more faith in them than I do then

 

[Hindsight]

Not faith, reality. They will have to devise a way of receipting goods without physical contact while respecting social distancing is my take. But I am usually wrong.

 

[Dry Rot]

Does this virus not move in the wind? I am keeping a lot further than two metres from any humans I encounter, especially if they are up wind! Maybe 2m indoors, but out doors use commonsense.

Post or deliveries here get left on the ground by the back door, kicked inside with my foot, then not touched for at least 48 hours!

Wear gloves then bin them when paperwork has been dealt with.

 

[Netherfield]

Where do you get the disposable gloves though?
