Evri again :-)

[Ranger 6]

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.....



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

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!

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.

Evri are getting worse in my view.
I have a usual woman who comes, she's generally ok but I've just had a delivery,a roll of weed membrane.
No knock at the door,no ringing the bell,it was just luck that as I was expecting the delivery I'd heard what I thought was a car door and looked out of the window to see a man leaving my property.I went to the door and found it leaning against the wall of the house in clear view of anyone passing.I shouted at the guy "you could have knocked",he just mumbled something and got in his car.
Reviewing my CCTV shows him putting it against the wall, taking a photo and leaving.That's not really delivery is it.

Safe place ? It's in the bloody street !! Didn't ring, obviously.

Sadly it’s a race to the bottom / numbers game

In generally have success with them, but based on how some of our deliveries are mad I think it’s more luck / honesty of locals

[bobtail4x4]

I spent over a hundred quid for a parcel box,

80% of couriers leave stuff on top of it, or next to it,

[Eyersey1234]

There have been a few times that our local Evri courier has slung stuff over the back gate even when it's marked fragile, consequently I don't rate them at all

Conversely, I’m very lucky that our local Evri guy is excellent so have never had an issue.

A week or so ago I ordered a 3" diameter pipe coupling, what I actually received, thanks to evri, was a torn, taped up packet that contained nothing more than a leaflet...



Thankfully the company I ordered from were superb and promptly sent a replacement which actually turned up!

Funny enough he was back the next day, I saw him clock the cameras and deliver the parcel properly. All deliveries from him have been civil since. Who knows what was going on for him that day.
