Yay my Evri parcel has been sent back to sender. Why the fuck can't it be sent to me?!!

I'm guessing this is just a big fat fib.
Anyone else had this update on tracking?

Ok at least something's been updated but come on.

My Christmas is in a ditch somewhere isn't it?

Ah well this will be where my parcel is then 🙈

I suspect my delivery driver is there with the parcels. Pretending I'm not at home. 😆

Or on our case they’ll just sling it in the front garden at 10pm in the pissing rain, say it was handed to recipient and take no responsibility for damage 🤷🏻‍♀️

I got a delivery notification on Amazon which said that my parcel was handed to Reception and that it was signed for by 'Door'. 😁
It was outside my door. We do not have a receptionist and my door is clearly more intelligent than I originally thought it to be.

I'm trying to find the screenshot of it as it cracked me up.

Would it be too soon to enrol my Front door in English Lit? It plays dumb most of the time. It's a fire door, so it's many attempts to trap me in it are probably as a result of it being bored. It's gifted and talented and is not the fucking belligerent arsehole that I once thought it was.

Our ddog signed for an Amazon parcel once, which is particularly impressive as he only speaks Romanian.

Ddog would get on well with DDoor. They share stories about how we underestimate them. 😆

Evri have had a parcel
of mine for over a week- it’s being delivered to my workplace cause the couriers have always delivered during working hours! However for some reason they keep trying to deliver at 7,8 or 9pm!! They say they only try three times but I’m on attempt 5. I don’t believe he’s even trying tbh especially as the delivery windows are always either 1330-1530 or 1430-1630! Have waited there until after 1800 hrs three times now 😡

Consider employing a door who knows how to sign its name. Or a dog which speaks Romanian lol.

Shejustwentthere · 17/12/2022 13:27

I think my door is actually a spy. It managed to pass itself off as a Receptionist to the driver too. Serious skills there, but coming from such an intelligent household, it's to be expected.

Amazon are supposed to put timed deliveries in bags in the right time order. Business and school drops are supposed to be done before 3pm, even if you have to go out of your way and then back to your main route.

You'll get, say 9 bags (as well as loose parcels) which are different colours and with an alphanumeric code, such as A1, A2, B3, D6 etc. You'll see that on white stickers, on Amazon parcels. You had 8 minutes to load at the depot and it was forbidden to check your route until immediately before loading.

You needed to write the alphanumerics in reverse order and load the "first" one at the back of the van and the "last" at the front etc.

The number of times I'd end up at a school, or a doctor's surgery at 7pm was ridiculous.

MynameisJune · 17/12/2022 16:03

I ordered from Blacks on Thursday, standard delivery. It was delivered by Evri today.

I did pay extra for delivery of an item from Asda and that now says it will be 10-14 days due to Royal Mail strikes so that won’t be here until after Christmas and it’s a gift.

DumpedByText · 17/12/2022 16:16

They've had my H&M parcel since 30th November, I have no hope of getting it now do I!

KezzabellaB · 17/12/2022 16:36

I ordered an item from QVC on 2nd December. Still in an Evri depot somewhere. Doubt I'll get it for Christmas now and it was actually a gift 🙄

Oh H&M have been awful. I ordered something on 28 Nov and they couldn't care less than I still haven't received it; they've given me two dates to contact them by if still no delivery, so I contact them to be told they can't refund "yet". Getting a straight answer from them is impossible.

Evri told a company they lost my order on 2 Nov so the company refunded and it arrived on Thursday.

I still have a present to send to my Dad but we've agreed for me to send it sometime in Jan.

GeneticallyModifiedGrump · 17/12/2022 17:18

No idea how Evri are still in business. I have seen the Image of where my parcel has been delivered....no idea where it is, definitely not the delivery address I specified 🙄

Our (really good) local evri delivery guy has Covid and evri can't find anyone to cover him. But they are still bringing parcels to him. He's beside himself and apologising to everyone via FB, because even when he can work again, so many parcels have piled up that there's no way he can get them all delivered by Christmas.

that'll be why no ones keen to work for them then😟

Whatmarbles · 17/12/2022 17:39

I've had a 'we cannot access your address' and we are returning your item.
I have also had an email from ASOS saying they are going to refund me.

I only hope they do as I have reordered from another retailer.

Arghhh this is so worrying. I am waiting for Evri to deliver my sons Christmas present.

I know a courier for another company who is so snowed under he's roped his dad in to help with the deliveries next week, totally against all company policies no doubt but I guess he's at least trying to get the parcels out there before Christmas.

Update! Evri delivered the parcel just now. Hope you all get what you are waiting for soon.

ADHD123 · 17/12/2022 19:23

I’m still waiting for a present I ordered on the 1st December paid for next day delivery 🤷‍♀️

I’m going to have to go and buy it from a shop but getting the time to do it before next weekend without the kids is going to be hard plus I can’t really afford to pay twice

I am so fed up now

whattodoijustdontknow · 17/12/2022 19:43

Has anyone with the "your parcel has been delayed" message received your parcel yet??

I bought a present for dh from Vinted on 29 November, Evri have had it ever since. That's all the tracking says, they've got it, delivery is taking longer than expected and I can raise an issue on 28 December (but I only have 2 days to raise the issue so better not forget). Useless.

Similar here. Mines been stuck in the locker the seller dropped it at since 27th November. No movement at all. Ive stuck a reminder on my phone for 28th do i can deal with it.

Was for a nativity costume. Nativity was last week. Hmm

Greenandcabbagelooking · 17/12/2022 19:51

I don’t drive, so ordered a huge amount of cat food online. Instead of giving it to a neighbour like I asked, Evri took it to a post office miles away, not very easy to get to on public transport and that is only open when I am at work. I’d happily send it back and get a refund, but nope. This isn’t possible.

I want them to refund my postage so I can get an Uber to collect it, but no dice.

earsup · 17/12/2022 19:53

Our local Evri chap has just quit....luckily my bits arrived before he left...!

Neverendingperiod · 17/12/2022 20:08

Hi OP have you emailed Evri's ceo office before? The email is: [email protected]

They are much better than the regular customer service and have sorted out several of my issues, going back to when they were hermes. The Ceo Martijn's email still has hermes in it but it works!

Hope you get your order soon!

CoffeandTiaMaria · 17/12/2022 20:20

Someone called RUN is living in multiple addresses in our village, signing fornonexistent deliveries. Goodness knows wtf is going on here 🤬
