Package left with dog...

[croakey]

At least the courier was honest...shame the dog didn't hold his end of the deal.






(no not my garden - I was the seller on eBay)

Tbh the buyer in broken English (would appear to be Spanish) seems ok about it and suggests I contact the couriers.

I personally find it hilarious that someone who managed to fill in an application form to get a job, and has a driving license (one would presume!) considers a dog to be a suitable recipient for a package delivered on a secure/signed courier service.

Barking mad

I've yet to find a well priced courier that doesnt employ cowboys, I've had packages delivered to me with no card left , items left in a previously locked gas cabinet, left in the garden in the rain.

But I've never had a card left with such honesty!

I find it most amazing that on e-bay you managed to sell an old stick, a busted football and a ripped faux-leather folder of some sort.

Only item sold on eBay was a genuine leather iPad case - clearly the dog thought it was lunch

Well it'll be collect+ in the dog house for it

Royal mail special delivery from memory is more expensive - collect+ send jiffy back for 3.95 and packages upto 5kg for £5.

Shame they feed them to dogs!

[croakey]

Still no reply from collect+ (I might have also posted it into their twitter feed)

Also emailed the buyer asking for pictures of the dog - in case collect+ want to identify the pup-ertrator

It was a leather iPad case - that somehow I ended up with 2 of.

Photo of dog in question (sent by the individual whose package was eaten)




Still no reply from collectplus... But I can see why the postman thought the dog looked trustworthy I mean id trust him!

[croakey]

Collectplus have finally got back to me (having retweeted the photos on twitter presuming it was a joke lol)

Apparently the throw it over the fence trick is a rare occurance and they will be having a word with the courier in question.

I might even get some money back so that i dont end up out of pocket when i refund my buyer.

I'm currently doing some agency work and some of it has been driving/delivering for a medium sized courier. The behaviour described in this thread baffles me as I'd never do any of it! Even as 'just an agency driver' I'm still a representative and do all I can to ensure I conduct deliveries in the way I would want them to be for myself.

Just think how many more drops (and therefore I would presume pay) you'd manage by just launching parcels over fences! Infact I dare say on half of all jobs you could do this from a vans sliding door lol

Genuine lol!
