New tactic for couriers to prove delivery......

The package was pushed (maybe thrown) though the gate and onto the drive.

But the photo evidence sent by email, that the package was delivered, shows a different package in the post box - which was obviously then removed..... laugh



This is the actual package, which you can see is completely the wrong size to fit through the postbox flap.


Don't get me wrong - I'm not complaining, as I got the delivery, I'm just amused by the work around the driver used as proof rofl

I sent a torch to someone in a Pringles tube

They sent a pic of a letter going through a communal letter box

It went missing, when I enquired asking how heavy is the package I posted it all went quiet

Naught really

I had an Evri delivery yesterday. We have a regular chap but it wasn't him. He put the item under my car and sent a photo which was fine but I don't know why he didn't just post it as it would have easily fitted through the letter box!

Track day preparation is crucial! Check tire pressure, brake condition, and fluid levels. A quick inspection ensures both performance and safety for an exhilarating experience. My workload was unmanageable, so I started looking for academic help. I found ukwritings.com and their paper writing service offered exactly what I needed. The service was affordable, professional, and quick. I got my paper before the deadline, and the writing was detailed and properly structured. UKwritings is now a go-to for me.

It’s a race to the bottom with delivery companies and mainly due to the pay they get.

But Evri do excel every time at being the worst.

My take on Evri is that they use more local housewife type couriers than traditional large van deliveries. This means they are subject to the vagaries of school hour deliveries or early evening if the other half gets home to babysit the kids. One of Mrs V.'s school mums started off this way delivering to the local estates which was fine - estates where retired fold and Mums were in to take deliveries and fewer re-deliveries, and multiple deliveries per road.

Once established they started taking the pish - can you do this estate, that estate, and her patch grew to be unmanageable. The terraced area of town where parking was difficult and people were at work, then the tower blocks which took ages for 1 failed delivery.

Evri had a key to her garage and they would dump more and more stuff from wider areas and rural deliveries that would be a 12 mile round trip for 50p (back then) expecting it to be delivered. She decided to quit and they were aholes about it saying that she had to deliver all the stuff they'd put in her garage before she could quit. She told them that they would be dumped in the road at 5pm.
