YODEL Home Delivery

Yodel delivered to me a wading staff for my fishing, this was a good quality make, supposed to be straight as a die and similar to a tall monopod exceprt for the telescopic parts. Well they managed to bend this into a bow shape. I can only think it is some phsyco worker they have in a depot. Running over this in a large transit van would not dent it, so I can only assume someone has taken some perverted delight in wedging it somewhere then bending the item...bloody mad.

Hdnl - dreadful avoid like the plague, also whoever delivers book people stuff threw a box of books over my fence to be shredded by my lab - and I mean shredded - they wanted me to return them for a refund - the small pieces I could find
 
Parcel Farce surpassed themselves today. I ordered some items which were to be delivered to my workplace - the local university.

I waited all day - nothing. When I got home I checked and found it wasn't delivered because they were unable to find the premises.

Just how stupid does a parcel force driver have to be to get the job? The university is the biggest building in the area, it's clearly signposted, parcel farce deliver and collect from there every day, anything with more than four brain cells in the town knows where it is.

Absolutley incredible.

So after an irate call, they "might" be able to deliver it on Monday
 
Had nothing but bad experiences with HDNL, so cringed when I saw a order from Amazon was being sent by them.

Turns out today has been a good day for them. Item delivered just after 11am all fine. However they did half inch my bluray player the other year!
 
Don't get me started! Yodel left a brand new kindle (which is delivered in a very distinctive box with 'Kindle' on the front) on our front door step the other week. Propped up! It was visible to everyone, and open to the elements ona day when it was predicted to rain and there were grey clouds in the sky. I'm just glad that it was the summer holidays, 1500 kids go past our house to get to and from school.........to be fair to the kids, we've had parcels left on the doorstep before, and they've never been touched, but the delivery man doesn't know that.
 
I was expecting some packing boxes yesterday (next day delivery) and only received the missed delivery card today and I can't read the parcel number they have written on the card.

Tried to give them a call, and the local depot didn't answer, and even though the card says 8:00 - 18:00, after 17:00 I got an automated message saying they are closed for the day. I hope they are open tomorrow morning otherwise I will not be happy!!!
 
I had a delivery from hdnl left wedged behind a plant pot, where I failed to see it. That night it rained.

Luckily it was in a sealed plastic bag, and the motherboard that was the delivery went on to work perfectly. I did complain at play who were less than bothered as it was functioning.

lol - we get this all the time in branscombe - delivery people of all descriptions who cant find that national trust office - the fact that we're at the bottom of the hill so it doesnt matter which road you drive down you have to pass us, we've got a dirty great logo outside (and who doesnt recognise the NT logo) and we own approximately half the village so all the local adults, most of the local children and a high proprortion of the local livestock know where we are ...but delivery people , nope couldnt find you guv

(not to mention the inspiring yodel guy who left a card saying "could not find premises" actually at the office... :bang:)
 
I believe these boys were formerly known as white arrow delievery?

its a shame they're clearly taking on more than they can handle

im amazed a company would spend their resources to create a card that by design should never be able to be delivered...

It isnt actually an option on their card he had just scrawled it in biro on the bottom of the card- which he left jammed in the doorjam.

I presume that either he was an illiterate moron and actually meant that he'd found the office and we werent in (in which case the huge sign saying "please deliver to the forge nextdoor when this office is closed " should have been a clue) or that he thought we were a different NT office and he was telling us that he couldnt find the adress to deliver too (even though he was at it)

of course this may be giving him too much credit - he may also have been a halfwitted sub amoeba who transcended any attempt at logical thought and wrote the first words that came into his head (in which case i'm quite suprised he managed to construct a coherent sentence)

Also he put time of attempted delivery down as 10.45 am - which was a good trick as the office is manned from 8.30 til 6 and the card was jammed in the doorjam when we arrived in the morning - it was also wet indicating that it had in fact been put there the previous evening (it wasnt there when we left the previous night)
