Whether you’re a courier navigating traffic or an office worker buried in emails, both jobs come with their own unique challenges. But who really has it harder?
Let’s compare the ups, downs, and daily grind of courier life vs. office life—Lucky Van style.
📅 Courier vs. Office: The Morning Rush
-
Courier:
You’re loading up the van at 7:00 AM. There’s traffic, tight time slots, and that one street with zero parking. -
Office Worker:
First, the alarm gets snoozed. Then comes the coffee. Finally, the tube delay kicks in.
🧠 Courier Mental Load vs. Office Brain Drain
-
Delivery life:
Delivery men face constant multitasking—directions, deadlines, customers. As a result, it takes real-time decision-making.
Decisions happen in real time, not by email. -
Office Worker:
Meeting after meeting. Slides, spreadsheets, “quick updates” that last an hour. Mental ping-pong all day.

Courier life vs. office life—different challenges, same daily grind.
🚶 Physical Demands
-
Delivery life:
Meanwhile, delivery men face boxes, stairs, and rain—then repeat it all day. -
Office Worker:
Back-to-back desk time with bad posture and a desk lunch. Fitness apps start judging you by noon.
😂 Unexpected Courier Moments vs. Office Slip-Ups
-
Delivery life:
Parrot singing Bon Jovi in the back. Someone in pyjamas at 3PM. Delivery instructions that read: “Beware of cat.” -
Office Worker:
On the other hand, office workers face Zoom mishaps, mysterious background noises, and the occasional “reply all” disaster.
⭐ Satisfaction Wins
-
Delivery life:
Sometimes, all it takes is hearing “You’re a lifesaver!” to make a delivery man’s day. -
Office Worker:
In contrast, office wins come in the form of project milestones, performance reviews, and free snacks.
