Default Warning - YODEL couriers

A word of warning to those sending parcels. DO NOT send use YODEL. I sold an item on EBay for £200 and it was sent by Yodel. Although I paid for next day delivery, the parcel never arrived. The tracking showed the parcel to be in Leamington and then two days the parcel and its tracking disappeared. The EBay buyer has ordered a charge back which I can’t dispute. Now I have the task of trying to sort out an insurance claim. Looking at reviews on internet, there is no chance of that happening. Do yourselves a favour, if you are sending a parcel – DO NOT USE YODEL, EVER !!!! Tell your friends as well.

I'm having similar issues with Hermes at the moment but from a buyers perspective, I was supposed to receive parts last Monday for next Fridays NEC resto show but they just keep postponing delivery. Starting to sweat a little as we set up on Thursday afternoon.

I haven't sold anything expensive yet, but if I do I have already decided to deliver it myself.
Gives me a chance to drive Mo

I will only send out a parcel with Royal mail, or parcel force even then sometime you worry a little, and i will only send the parcel signed for, yes it's a bit more expensive, but at least you have a good chance.

My wife sent back two phones recently using Hermes now Evri, both went walkies, she complained to Amazon whom refunded the money right away and chased the couriers driver.

Yes royal mail has its faults , but i found them the best. I have used DPD and found them pretty decent , but expensive for their top deliveries. Royal mail do have a good complaints portal which is very good and does put you first , as a customer. Royal mail every time for me , EVRI and YODEL may be a lot cheaper but their delivery employees are not , on the whole .. professional. At the end of the day . you get what you pay for .. usually , but all are fallible and there will always be a certain amount of risk involved whoever you use .

Well, DPD, managed to deliver a tyre i had ordered online to completely the wrong address wrong post code, i only found it because i was walking past this address where they left it, by the kerb, i thought, that's strange, so i looked at the label, and it was my tire the address label clearly stating my address, luckily i knew someone who lived across the road, and we took it, put it safe,
