Are Yodel the ones that used to be the Home Delivery Network, or are they a different pack of idiots? HDN are the reason I cancelled my Amazon Prime account 
No HDN still exist and are still staffed entirely by morons as far as I can tell. Utterly, utterly awful. Why Amazon still use them for some deliveries I don't know. Timmy35 said:

I way lucky to get home yesterday to find a yodel courior standing in my drive having jusst realised I was out. to be fair to him he did say he was about to try the neigbours.
I always use the post office or Parcel Force, they tend to be a bit more expensive but I can drop in to the local post office to send stuff, if they try and deliver when you're out most people are a lot closer to a sorting office than a courior depot. I hate having to drive a 40 mile round trip to collect something I've already paid to be delivered.
Re. Yodel not finding addresses I'd love to see how they'd have coped with a parcel I sent to Ireland the other week. The recipients address is just name, town, county. No street name or house number. He said he's once had a letter delivered that just addressed to his name and "Guitar maker, Ireland". Obviously the Irish couriors are a bit better than the British ones

'Irish logic' is often mistaken for stupidity, until you look at it from their angle!
Being as I hate gardening and can find plenty of other chores to do round the house I was surprised to see a parcel lying in the back of the garden addressed to the missus delivered courtesy of Yodel. f
k knows how long it had been there. The missus was wondering what was taking them so long to deliver it.

No, HDN and Yodel are the same company. My local HDN delivery guy now drives a Yodel van.Tbh, I've found HDN/Yodel to be ok personally. I get all my parcels delivered to my mums, and she's known the delivery guy who covers our area for years so never had a problem with HDN/Yodel.
However, if you want really poor service then I recommend Hermes!
That's hilarious. I feel a bit bad for the delivery guy, he clearly thought it would be humerous to leave the package with the dog and didn't expect it to chew it!
It sounds like something my best mate would do (he's a postman) infact he's done lots of silly things like this. None have yet bitten him on the arse... Yet.

So from the buyers point of view, where does he stand financially on this? Clearly the delivery guy is at fault, but that contract with the delivery co is with the seller. So does the seller have to refund the buyer then try to claim from them? Not exactly fair on the seller either.
You can imagine trying to open a claim with some of these delivery companies, they just don't give a Shi Tzu.
