I have felt the urge of doing that for a while. But why not now? Whats your thoughts on the postal services? Name them, tell us your experience with them and any comments you want too add .
I will start of with a few in no particular order:
1)DHL:
I have had a lot of parcels through them. Documents that I needed to be delivered next day. Quite a pleasant service. Till one day.. I ordered a phone from O2. The phones expected delivery was the the day after (which was Wednesday). Wednesday evening, and I still havent gotten anything. I track my parcel, and its in manchester o.O So I am like huh, ok, probably went there by mistake. Next morning, I track the item and its in Glasgow! I am like what the fuck? Its going further and further away o.o I still have a track of where the item is, so I wasnt worried. Didnt bother checking for a few days and tracked it again. It was in Birmingham for a couple of days, tracking hasnt been updated for over 2 days there.
SO I call up O2, they contact DHL... what do I get? They apologize and say that the item has been lost without any traces o.o They said they would ship another phone right away but they are out of stock. So I was like I want my refund. Took a week or so, but I got the refund.
2)Royal Mail(including first, second and next day delivery, any deliveries they do):
To be honest, I have never had any issues with Royal Mail! Not gonna lie. Their next day delivery always got delivered next day. First class got delivered next day 99% of the time. International stuf.. well the delivery date for international received items is a little whacky, but hey, I get them eventually.
3)UPS:
WORST EVER! My personal candidate for being the worst. The closest UPS depot is 10 minutes walking distance from where I live. From the depot, you turn left and come to a T-junction. When you come to the T-Junction, you can see the name of the road that I live in. Quite a big sign post. You can see and read it, unless you are blind or uneducated of course. BUT, apparently the UPS drivers could NEVER find the road that I live in? not one, not two, BUT ON THREE occasions. Apparently the driver didnt know the address and was unable to deliver. I got pissed after the third occasion and walked to the depot to collect the parcel.
4)Parcelforce:
This one is a little weird. Sometimes you get them right on time, sometimes a bit late. But sometimes they drive past your house, without leaving any note and update the system as "delivery failed". Let me explain. It was a hot summer day and I was in my front garden. I see a parcelforce van go past my house. I was like "hmmm, wasnt I supposed to get something through them?". Go inside the house, check the tracking, and its updated as delivery failed, left parcel at local post office. Like what the fuckery? Didnt even bother complaining, went to the post office next morning to pick it up -.-
This happened couple of times. Sometimes they delivered next day, sometimes left at post office. BUT I NEVER GET A NOTE LEFT THROUGH MY DOOR!
5)Yodel:
Slow.. but always get the things delivered. Cant complain.
6)DPD:
So far so good. On a few occasions I feel as if they open my parcel or try to open it o.o "They" as in the delivery driver or whoever delivers it. Most of them look a bit dodgy, no offence.
7) Amazon Logistics:
Just to add to my frustrations... Amazon Logistics failed to deliver my item. They know for the fact that the items are lost and yet refuse to place a replacement order or refund until a few days have passed..
(I will update if more comes to my mind)
