Crap, unreliable parcel delivery/courier companies - feel free to vent here

I tried reading the Twitter thread, but it wouldn't let me read the whole thing without logging in or signing up. I'm currently avoiding logging into Twitter for mental health reasons.

I don’t have a Twitter account to log into but it seems to be doing that to me too over the last few days.

Same here. I don't actually want to have an account but so many threads/virtual conversations (everywhere, not just on here) link to Twitter threads.

Same with FB and Instagram.
 
I ordered some stuff from the US. They shipped it via DHL who then handed it to Yodel for delivery. Yodel claimed to have delivered it yesterday, although there's no indication where it was delivered to other than the postcode of the Yodel depot. I have asked for the exact adress it was delivered to, and DHL says it could take up to 72 hours to provide that information.
 
DHL have not responded. I managed to web chat with Yodel's customer service who claimed the following:

It was delivered Saturday.
It was delivered today.
It was left with a neighbour, but they can't tell me who, what number flat, or if it was one of the businesses o the ground floor of the flats.
They sent the location that the parcel was last scanned at, which is somewhere on my street but not my property.
There is no photo taken by the driver showing who he handed the parcel to, and where they are.

They have raised an investigation at the depot to try to get more information from the driver, Fuck knows where he left the parcel, probably a skip or a pond.

I'll contact the business I bought it from too.

Forget Yodel, you have no contract with them. Get on to the place you bought it from and demand a refund or replacement. The seller is the one who has a contract with the courier. Let them deal with it.
Im sick of chasing couriers now. The only way they'll change their ways is if people stop using them, and sellers won't stop using them unless and until it starts costing them time and money.
 
It gets better.

Hermes sent me a notification claiming my parcel was delivered to my porch at 11.59 last night with an attached location photo.

There are a few inaccuracies here.

It wasn't delivered to me.

I don't have a porch.

There's no location photo.

WHO THE FUCK DID THEY DELIVER MY PARCEL TO? WHERE IS IT??

Twats.
 
Yeah wayward bob the chatbots are super rage inducing.

Parcel came this morning, from the delivery driver that delivered something else yesterday. I think he forgot to give the parcel to me with the other one.

I miss Leo, the driver who was there for over a year. He was competent.
 
Everyone has to learn at some point.

Went I started delivering for amazon, I just got sent out on the road. Covid rules meant you got no on the road training.

I live in a road with only house names much to my annoyance. But amazon have never missed the address, but other couriers have, often; do you have an app the tells you the exactly location of each house?
 
Dont know what to do.
A couple of days ago a delivery man showed up with a massive box that was not for me, it said on the label it was for someone called ian wood and then had a very incomplete address (just the name of the hill that i am on but no house). I told them they need to find out the correct address & they went away..
Just found that same parcel on my doorstep now.
It is really heavy and its some kind of posh kitchen machine a mixer.

What the hell am i meant to do?
Nowhere does it say what delivery company it is, has no order receipt attached to outside of box.
