What annoys you

[Mups]

I have just had an ink cartridge delivered this afternoon.
I don't know who by because he was in a grey estate car with nothing written on it.

Unfortunately he was driving off by the time I got to the door,  else I would have had a word in his ear.
The jiffy envelope was absolutely  soaking wet  -  and I mean soaked right through to the little cartridge box inside,  and even that felt damp.  I just hope the ink isn't ruined.

Evri used to be pretty terrible but lately they've been pretty good. I get things from AliExpress (Huge Chinese site like Temu) and usually they deliver their stuff. They've started giving delivery windows and more often than not deliver within the period they said.

FFS, Just had an update about my supposed to be delivered today parcel. It's now coming tomorrow.
I suppose I should be grateful they even let me know.

There was an article in yesterday's paper about these Couriers.
It seems they get many, many complaints.
This was how they said the courier  firms rated:

Royal Mail  2/5

Evri    1/5

Yodel   3/5

DHL   4/5

DPD   4/5

Amazon   0/5

Not good is it!

In my experience DHL are pretty poor but DPD are the best. Royal Mail are slow as well as being expensive while Yodel and Evri vary probably depending on who is delivering for them. I think both get a big turnover in staff.

I'm hoping I'll get a DPD delivery tomorrow as the place I bought from is usually next day.

Amazon are usually good but do sometimes slip on the window they first give. Again I suspect new drivers.

Amazon has been ok here.  Evri pretty terrible, but others like them.  Seems to depend on the driver?

Seems to depend on the driver? 

It's not a job I'd want and I think the likes of Yodel and Evri just pay a flat rate on a parcel and the driver uses their own vehicle (probably uninsured for commercial use) I've seen quite a few private cars parked and up to the scuppers with packages when out on a walk. They come past and park up again obviously delivering. These must be temporary jobs I would think. Most are in a hurry and dump and scoot. The local nextdoor often has missing and misdelivered parcels on it. I've had both myself.

Yes,  I suspect that is probably right, Granny.   
Also,  maybe all the roadworks, temporary traffic lights, and detours don't help.

Amazon are brilliant here.. The Post Office are fine too..
Evri is a bit 'iffy'

Just had my DPD delivery within the notified window.
