I used to work in goods in and I would have done everything in my power to get that stopped.

It was a shitty minimum wage job and my responsibilities definitely didn't stretch to doing unpaid work for multiple people on top of my shitty job.

EDIT: Maybe this is just a lack of understanding of what happens in goods-in? Or working some place where your deliveries don't add much burden?

Where I work, being able to ship to the business is explicitly advertised as a job perk.

"Ship to us, and here's how to get automatic email notifications of when your package is here!"

What is a goods-in? Google doesn't show anything that makes sense in this context.

At work, there are people who work at the shipping department and then deliver the packages to people's desks. AFAIK they are paid to do this job and seem somewhat peppy compared to other similar staff in the company.
