Warning - YODEL couriers

spirit6060 · 28th August 2021, 08:30

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 worked as a vehicle technician for Yodel for over 20years and implore everyone to use them my pension may depend on it.

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.

Same as DPD, which I always thought was the worst.

I have never had a problem with DPD and we get at least one delivery every month. I think a lot of the problems are with the individual driver rather than the Company

That is usually the case with virtually all companies and that is why recruiting a suitable person is always better than just "filling a slot".
