Pros

None, please please please avoid at all costs

Cons

If you want to work somewhere and are happy to pay for the pleasure then this is the job for you , I'm trapped in this job after threats about breaching contract , van hire charges even after the van goes back , and then withholding payments for another 60 days , I've not even earned enough to pay the £1500 retainer they take money straight from any payment I've earned , including the tax which I will be expected to pay the tax man , I have been financing the fuel etc from savings ( which have now gone) so I'm borrowing to pay for fuel to driver amazons parcels , and not earning a penny to pay for ukexpress van hire charges and other costs they add on without informing me . I am going to seek legal advice about this so called contract . Please keep away is my only advice !

Pros

You can choose which days you want to work. Plenty of walking, travelling on buses and trains to get to and from the jobs.

Cons

They do not have much work during the weekdays only weekends and bank holidays and the pay is only £3 per hour. They advertise you will earn up to £500 per week but in reality, it will be £3 per hour. . UK Express Logistics and UK Express delivery Ltd are the same company based in Birmingham UK. You are paid £15 per collection and delivery covering up to 30 miles.Then 50p a mile so 31 miles = £15.50. After 100 miles the rate drops to 40p a mile. If it's a good long job they will try and knock down the price. No additional payment is made for inconvenience, waiting around for hours, travelling on buses and trains for hours. Getting £15 for 5 hours work will still mean you could be deducted around £4 tax so £11 for a local job up to 30 miles and nearly every job is local less than 30 miles and a 30-mile job will take 6 hours to complete due to public transport, that will be it £3 per hour.
