Yeah, I guess none of You have heard about FedEx Ground or Home Delivery. We have absolutely the same setup in US, and it’s even bigger than Amz.( as of now). 12-16 hrs of work (+bottles) every day. I had that kind of “pleasure” representing “purple “.

Believe me.. UPS delivery drivers make more than minimum wage ..way more... my next door neighbor avgs about 9 hours a day on his truck.

Alot of Fedex delivery is done by contractors... different type of pay all together....
