Whats the worst experience you've had from a delivery service?

So far we've had, my boyfriends signature being faked today and our parcel being left somewhere where all of our 150+ neighbors have access to, one lost a parcel on a 25 mile journey and having a parcel given to people in the penthouses when i m stupidly scared of heights so freaked out having to go up there.

What have you experienced with deliveries?

When I was younger we sent a small package to my aunt for her birthday (it was just a CD in a bubble envelope). We put her address on the front of the envelope and our address on the back (in the allocated space for a return address) and the package was delivered to us the next day. We complained and got a free book of stamps but ultimately all we could do was pop it back in the mail. It arrived for her the day after even though the envelope was exactly the same.

Over the past few years I've shopped online a lot so I have too many stories to tell. We've had packages delivered to houses on the next street and the people on the phone deny that it can happen until they look at the geo tracking system and realise that their driver did actually stop at the wrong address.

The most frustrating thing is in our new house (a new build and impossible to find on sat nav systems) is when drivers don't bother to call and ask how to find us, and instead take a picture of a dark pavement to 'prove' that they've visited the house and then mark us as not being in and answering the door. And even though three people are in the house and there's no calling card the delivery company still says that the driver must have been.

I called up one delivery company after two failed deliveries (we were in - they just didn't call us for directions) and was told that next time they'd send us one of the competent drivers. It was at Christmas and I think the temporary staff must have been the incompetent ones as since Christmas we've had very little trouble. Still, I would have thought that they'd get rid of incompetent drivers as they must cause more trouble than they're worth. And I definitely wouldn't expect them to admit to having them on the phone to a customer.

Ordered a mug for work (it had the logo on it OK I was really excited) and wasn't in. Instead of them giving it to a neighbour, they went down the side alley and chucked it over the fence into the garden. Smashed to bits.

Thanks Hermes.

After us talking about them the other day, i looked up my hermes on a review site and every single one was two star or less so no idea how they still in business. My parcel safely got to someone by using yodel so i think i ll use them in future.

I did that too it filled me with confidence, as you can imagine terrible, terrible company. I'd go for Yodel at a push but I'll always prefer DHL or Royal Mail

I don't recall what it was, but something similar to Ethan. The box had tape around it that said fragile and they had chucked it over a fence into my garden. :/

I try hard not to order things online because I find it so annoying having to wait in for the delivery to come :/

Last time I ordered something the guy didn't even ring the doorbell he just posted one of those note things and stuck the parcel in the bin lmao.

DHL and royal mail are the only real good ones out there, they've always been brilliant with all of my stuff and the postman is pretty patient for people getting down to the hallway.

Seems like lots of couriers like to throw things to deliver them

Love my postie he's so nice! Such a shame that Hermes is so bad… I just don't understand how they could mess up so catastrophically across the country?

It's really frustrating! Especially because we keep a note up on the window, which can be clearly seen from outside, and it said 'any deliveries please give to the house number _____' -_-
