There are several around here, but it's not been noticeable that the units in question actually get any significant workload through them, leastways they don't seem to have cut into our business noticeably :face-thinks:
I must have missed that but it is a good point. Always seemed pretty underhand using private addresses and PO boxes to appear local but it does seem pretty widespread. Wonder how many ROs indulge in such behaviour?
