so many posh houses with ring door bells so by the time you pay for fuel and car use items like insurance. servicing car mot servicing using the car for business use the problem comes is sometime your not told the parcel is coming so you have no chance of being in for it.

All these type of jobs are going the same way. I used to do Uber eats and made pretty good money. approx £5 per drop and you could do 4 drops per hour, then they just allowed more & more drivers on the platform until there was way too many & people were taking drops for like £3.

Not sure how you got your figures but definitely not as low as £8 an hour. More closer to £12 by my workings. Also Not sure where you got the £7.50 tax and also why you are adding a £5 deduction of wear and tear after your tax deduction.

@ where do you get the £7.50 tax number from though. Taxable amount on this is less than £4 and that’s not taking into account the tax free allowance. You’ve taxed yourself at 20% on the net amount and that’s wrong. HMRC gives you 45p a mile so that works out at £30.60. Minus that from the £49.50 for the shift and that gives you a taxable amount of £18.90 @20% and that’s worst case scenario
@tommywills4 күн бұрын
@ i overpay into my tax pot so I know I have enough. I don’t do the 45p deduction sum until the end of the tax year In short, i take note of my mileage and mpg, work out how much fuel ive spent using journeyprice.co.uk, deduct that off the block payment, then whatever is remaining gets taxed 20% and put in a separate pot. I know I will have money left over when it comes to my self assessment once i do the 45p a mile tax relief.

So, are you paid based on the amount you take? Or the shift you work? Because 30 packets wouldn't take anyone 3.5 hours to deliver, unless the area you're covering is huge (I used to be a Postman for 5 years so I'm just curious)
@tommywills7 күн бұрын
You get paid based on the price of the block you accept. Usually they put the right amount of parcels in so it takes you the timeframe or less. Sometimes they barely put any in and you’re done in under an hour during a 3 hour block. You still get paid the amount you accepted the block for

I do it for a bit of extra money in between my day job. Some blocks in the inner cities are a pain in the back side. GPS won’t work properly and you’ll get parking fines galore. I live in a rural area and you do more miles but usually easier block. Best blocks are suburban runs 3.5-4.0 hours 35-45 parcels in that time easy if you’re not dragging your feet.

First sell your car and get a hybrid or anything above 55mpg. Up to £12570 you are tax free so you shouldn't calculate with the worst case scenario. This is a business. If you're not doing it right it's obviously won't work. Nobody will give money for free. That's life. Do something else if it doesn't work for you

@kafu091620 күн бұрын
I do flex but only 2 or 3 times a month. I find it pretty easy, it works well for me as my depot is 4 mins from my house, I have an ev which I can charge for free at my main job so I have no fuel costs. I’ve been lucky that the routes I have had have been close to the depot so mileage & wear & tear minimal & my husband is a mechanic! I think it really depends on the type of car you have & the running costs associated and how far you are from the depot. I tend to take the shorter blocks these are usually the less mileage the time they stipulate is correct I have never gone over in fact I usually finish before the end time. It will not work for everyone but if you need a bit of extra cash every now and then it can be good way to earn some cash.

Good review, thanks mate. My wife and myself stayed at Diamonds Thudufushi (I've done a full review of that resort on my KZbin channel - Mikes Travels). Another highly recommended resort in the Maldives and we were looking to go back there, but this resort has court our eye. 2 questions please: 1. Was the food quite varied? 2. What is the marine life like for snorkelling off the beach and villa's? Thudufushi was excellent and we are looking for something that matches up Many thanks again for the great insight and info

Hi Mike! Thank you for the kind words. Food was very varied. Had so many stations to choose from. I looked forward to breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. Definitely didn’t feel bored with the food choices. I was there for 1 week and still didn’t try everything! The marine life was very good. I unfortunately forgot to pack snorkel shoes, so sadly my exploring was limited due to the sharp rocks. However, we befriended a few people who went to the cliff edges and they showed us the videos they took, and it was incredible. So much variety of species to discover. There was a lot of marine life closer also. You don’t need to venture very far to still have a good snorkelling experience. I would highly recommend.
