Christmas may be a time for reflection, but the weeks leading up to it can be stressful - especially for parcel deliverers! Krone+ followed the heels of two suppliers in the Vienna shopping rush and found out from Austro service provider LTS what hurdles need to be overcome.

Unbuckle your seatbelt, get out, open the transporter door, collect the parcels, scan them, load the handcart and off you go on a wild ride. There in backyards, there on stairs, sometimes escalators and lifts help. Up and down, left and right, then back to the car, a few street numbers further on and all over again.
