Spr1985 Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 I’m still waiting on my wife’s birthday (it’s today) present to arrive that I ordered two weeks ago with three day postage, I’m not one bit surprised after finding out the carrier is hermes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diver One Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 Hermes have a ."last mile" delivery centre near me. To see them all in a morning ramming 7 zillion packages into a Saxo is laughable. I am surprised anything gets delivered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-G Posted October 15, 2021 Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) Hermes/DPD etc delivery drivers get peanuts per delivery - almost all are eastern European or Asian driving old private cars on private insurance and I imagine many have gone back home now. Similar to taxi drivers, farm pickers and almost any other unskilled labour dependent work, plus many semi skilled jobs too. Bosses just got too complacent with poor wages to acheive competitive prices to compete with Europe. Partner and I are much better off on my standard state pension and her reduced one than when I was cabbing before I got mugged by five Somalian passengers. Schools and Universities didn't help with their silly media studies ETC instead of practical education... I'm thinking that might have been part of the EU game plan to take us downhill.

Bigbob Posted October 15, 2021 Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 We Where out for the day got a email Hermes have delivered your parcel next door to number 20 got home and a four foot by three foot parcels sitting on the steps at the front door for everyone to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guinty1 Posted October 15, 2021 Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 Herpes by a big margin are the worse courier company by far, but a lot of companies must use them because they must be cheap. No matter how times I tell them to leave my parcels in my safe place if I am not in, I will come home to find them in plain view on the front door step. There is no use in complaining, they dont listen and fob you of with some lame excuse (I have left numerous bad reviews on trust pilot to no effect). One time they said their driver could not deliver my parcel as my driveway was blocked, I have an open driveway with no gates leading straight to my front door. i was in all day, their driver just didnt turn up, and just made this up to excuse his/her short comings. I now contact companiesI I buy off and will request they dont use Herpes if possible for my parcels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
