Packing vs Rolling- Which is the Best way to Pack a Suitcase?

May 02, 2012   Giulia   No comments

When it comes to travelling, packing can be the most stressful part of the preparation process.  Distinguishing essentials from luxuries, catering for every weather event, plus making sure there’s enough room in the case for gifts on the way back! To avoid any extra stress when going on a holiday, business trip or overnight visit, leading suitcases retailer SportsDirect.com set about a mission to find the best suitcase packing method.

After conducting an online survey, the UK’s travellers decided that overall, folding was the most popular packing method with a huge 64% of the vote- allowing holiday goers to organise travel items into neat piles.

Whilst folding maybe the neatest and most organised packing method, some argued that it wasn’t the most space savvy; 29% of those asked favoured to roll their clothes up before packing to make the most of suitcase space and the help avoid the dreaded creases once arriving at their destination.

Other methods were suggested, including packing all items in to vacuum bags to save space and unnecessary ironing. A small percentage of those who took the survey (6.9%) even decided that packing was not a priority and it was much easier to ‘Throw it all in and hope for the best’!

If you are travelling abroad or around the UK this year, don’t forget you can get web exclusive deals on selected suitcases and luggage items, including family sets over at www.sportsdirect.com. You can also join the conversation and let us know how you pack your suitcase on the official Facebook and Twitter pages.

Beating stiff competition from Domino’s stores across the UK and Ireland, Ajay was awarded the title for his hard work and dedication to ensuring that customers receive piping hot pizza and his commitment to helping look after the safety of his fellow delivery drivers.

Ajay has worked for Domino’s on Uxbridge Road for almost two years.  His positive attitude, excellent safety record and sheer love for the brand make him a joy to have around.  His franchisee describes
him as polite, enthusiastic, honest and reliable.  He is always ready to help new drivers and is a big fan of Domino’s wobble boarding.  With 2,500 safe delivering hours under his belt and customers talking
of his courteous and helpful manner it is no wonder he is this year’s winner.

Ajay Shrestha, Domino’s Delivery Driver of the Year, said: “I am delighted to win this award. Delivering pizza in all weathers and driving conditions can be a challenge but the smile you get from a customer when you knock on their door makes it all worthwhile. I thoroughly enjoy my job and to be crowned Delivery Driver of the Year is a fantastic achievement.”

Sarmah Shakarchi, franchisee for the Shepherds Bush store said: “We are all very proud of Ajay.  It is a tough competition, so for him to win makes us all very happy.  He is a real asset to our team and is always professional, providing first class customer service.  He really deserves this award.”

Domino’s Pizza’s annual awards recognise the franchisees and in-store teams from the company’s 732 stores in the UK, Ireland and Germany.
