What's the typical deliver size? Or rather, what weight would you say 80%
of deliveries are smaller than or equal to? Would it be small enough to do
by bike (using a freight bike of some sort, rather than a courier's
panniers)?
Most jobs go in (as a minimum) an A4 box (i.e. a box that would
contain five reams of A4 80gsm.
Not to mention large scale deliveries. As I was leaving work this
morning we had 50+ reams of paper turn up. How are they supposed to
deliver that without a lorry?
I assume you get your paper in quite big sheets - 50 reams of A4 at 80 gsm
is 125 kg, doable on a trike or 8-freight or something. If it's A0,
though, that's two tonnes, which i would certainly agree requires motor
power!
Actually, I got that wrong. It was 20 boxes of A4 which is 100 reams.
Plus some A3 and other stuff.
A0 paper comes in rolls - 200m long, works out to maybe 10cm across at
a guess. 24 rolls on a pallet.
