I ordered something a couple of days ago and was sent tracking info by the vendor.
Can anyone interpret the latest entry on the tracking log and tell me if I'm likely to receive it this week?

And just hope it's not Yodel doing the final drop, otherwise you will find it left with next door but ones dog in their garden. Assuming it gets delivered at all.

I had a set of wheels sent from Germany to my work via Hermes. Over a week later, and the (48-hour delayed) tracking service on the system says 'Out for Delivery'. Well, since I hadn't had them in the two days that the tracking system last updated, I phoned them and they said "The courier couldn't find your address, they are on the way back to the sender".

The sender being a mate of a mate in the forces who was being deployed to the Falklands and wouldn't have time to re-arrange the courier, so I just had to do a 24-hour, 650 mile trip to pick the wheels up before he disappeared to the sheep isles.

Hermes make out couriers look efficient!

50% chance of never getting it

Do what I do when waiting for a delivery. Go and take a leisurely dump, there will soon be a knock on the door before you even get as far as the paperwork, it never fails!
