Hermes are pants in my experience.
Couldn't agree more...Pretty much yes. I am quite a fan of collect+. Just drop stuff at newsagent
Your not a fan of the 'Yodel Sprint' thenNever had any problems with either DPD or DHL.
Parcel force are patchy at best - usual thing is a card shoved through the door irrespective of whether there's anyone in or not.
Yodel are a joke - if a company uses this shower of retarded monkeys, they no longer get my business.
I have no problem with the VAT and duty, just the manner in which UPS collects them. Dealing with Fedex has been far smoother for us.It is not UPS who charge these, they only collect them. Fedex from the USA I find is not as quick as DHL or UPS, as an importer speed and reliability is what I require as well as a competitive price.
What way was that?I have no problem with the VAT and duty, just the manner in which UPS collects them. Dealing with Fedex has been far smoother for us.
I can relate to this, I worked for yodel as an Xmas temp a few years ago and it was horrific, they send you out with anything upto 180 parcels a day, to an area you don't know and pretty much tell you to not come back until your finished, then there's the collections, it backfired cos I was on hourly pay, stressed but absolutely minted.I use several couriers from my work, the drivers are walking heart attacks they are so stressed out. Poorly paid and under enormous pressure under tiered (shaft the next guy) management, with everybody, top to bottom, chasing ludicrous and unachievable targets. The drivers are on a merry-go-round, moving from one company to another and finding them all the same. They are lucky I suppose, some have to acquire large loans to provide their own van as a condition of entry. It's an inhuman industry.
Royal Mail? I was going out and opened the door exactly as a postie was puttting a "Sorry you were out card" through my letter box. I walked him back to his van to retrieve my parcel.
