To think Evri treat deliveries like a paper round?

They barely slow down, chuck the parcel somewhere near the door, and vanish without even ringing the bell. At this point, I half expect them to launch it from the street. Is it just me or has delivery service become completely hopeless?

I think it depends where you live. If you've got big long drives I reckon they often CBA or are under too much pressure so do chuck stuff.

But it doesn't happen in my area where the road is really close to the doors. They do sometimes knock and run or barely knock and run.

My mates who live in blocks say it often will just get put by the front main door. Where about 500 people have access. So not great.

But I think it's more the fact they're given too heavy a workload for not enough pay. It must be a horrible job.

My Evri driver is great. I do think it depends on the driver tho because before we moved here my heart used to sink when I saw the delivery method was Hermes, which was what they used to be called.

Our Evri delivery chap is awesome.

Not my Evri delivery driver. He’s delivered for almost two years. Always asks how I am, regularly asks about my children and every now and then we have a proper chat. He’s great.
