The "I'll just do it cheap to get my foot in the door" trap
How many times have you heard that one? Or maybe you said it yourself early on? The theory sounds reasonable. Undercut the competition, prove yourself, then raise your rates once they trust you. The reality? They never let you raise them. You're locked in at rock bottom doing the same run six months later, wondering why you're working harder than ever and still skint. The worst part is that it devalues the work for everyone around you, too. Some drivers swear it worked for them and built a solid client base. Others say it was the biggest mistake they ever made, and they're still recovering. So what's the honest answer here? Did pricing yourself low ever actually pay off long term, or did it just teach clients to expect cheap? Would love to hear from drivers who've been in the game a while on this one.

Small companies, competition can feel relentless. In industries like delivery services especially, margins are tight, expectations are high, and customers often compare on price first. Cheap isn’t always good. Price gets attention — but service earns loyalty.

@Nilesh Gohil The simple is question how long can one person charge £1 per mile (Example) before it become unstainable as costs go up every year with fuel goes up more through the year than down, and wear and tear on the vehicle.
Looking for Delivery Work in London?
Looking for Delivery Work in London? If you have a car or van and you're struggling to find work in London, consider signing up with Gophr. I recently signed up myself, but the available jobs near me are mainly around Oxford, which is too far for me to travel. However, there appears to be plenty of work available in London. To sign up, you’ll need: - Hire & Reward (H&R) insurance - Goods in Transit (GIT) insurance - A DBS certificate If you're already set up with the right insurance and documentation, it could be a good opportunity.

@Tsvetomira Petkova - You can either work for them for work as a subcontractor where you are responsible for your own tax. In Bedford there is very little work from them. I do get screw fixit occasionally. After a couple of job it will give me a feeling of how the company is like.

If you get an Allstar I am assuming it’s not a pay as you go and the pump price would be cheaper than a pay as you go.
