garydoig5@gmail.com Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 had a macbook due for delivery on the 11th/12 of this month turned up on the 9/th and just dumped on the outside door of our flats luckily one our neighbours spotted and took it in. then had an email saying my parcel has been delivered maybe im lucky it came so quick as some thieving toerag would have had it on his toes, no company should perform like hermes or is it owned by amazon in some way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norfolk dumpling Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 There was an interesting documentary on Herpes as while ago where they have weekly auctions of undelivered parcels - here you bid for the contents of a large plastic box and take pot luck on the value. Successful bidders usually make a profit: some a very good profit if there is tech included but the reporter who investigated followed up on the failure to deliver information and in almost every case was able to locate address and person. Apparently their failure % is within industry levels of acceptability but still represents hundreds of thousands of disappointed customers annually.

None, they wouldn't be able to pay for it out of what they earn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-G Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 As it happens I think they have upped their game a tad these days - at least with delivery updates/notifications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
