Warning - YODEL couriers

spirit6060 · 28th August 2021, 08:32

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 agree 100% . for an extra £1 you can use D.P.D i have found them excellent both in cost and delivery speed, plus most importantly reliable with guaranteed delivery for an extra 50p. when you have lost an item in the post its so distressing having packed and parcelled and labelled and despatched and paid good money ,only to find it got "lost" by the courier. no couriers are 100% but if an item is worth a lot of cash dont skimp on postage. and above all keep away from yodel. that is fact. ...

There are other providers too that av a 97% delivery rate. But they cost more. Same old adage. Ya pay ya money ya take a chance.
