Evri "attempted" delivery...

Ugh I am so angry!

Paid for next day delivery as I'm WFH today.
I'm working from my kitchen counter which is 2 Metres away from my front door.
They tried to apparently deliver with a pic of my front door etc but what the hell?
The driver 100% did not knock on!!

Has anyone else experienced this?

No, Catherine my Evri lady is excellent. Can you nip round to there house and get it?

Littletinytarzanswingingfromanosehair · 12/12/2024 17:40

Nip round to their house?

Apparently they will try again tomorrow....
I'm going to have to WFH again tomorrow.
I plan to work with my desk against the the door staring out of the letterbox.

Perhaps I should get a ring doorbell?

Evri are diabolical for us, really awful.

Yeah, she lives in the next street over. She delivers around the school run and if she misses you leaves a card with her mobile number to call to arrange a time to collect.

DPD often do this. I can see on the CCTV that they haven’t been. Why lie?!

We've had problems with Evri too. Two parcels still haven't been delivered - but showing as delivery attempted, even though it hasn't been as I've been at home when they say they have tried. We're now contacting sellers directly to complain as we've been waiting over a week for some parcels.

Evri in SW London are genuinely terrible. Exactly what you have described and more. I now avoid buying from people who use Evri.

Rogerstreasures · 12/12/2024 18:40

Evri are absolute rubbish in my area.

Loafbeginsat60 · 12/12/2024 19:23

Awful here too. Parcels take weeks and that's if they even make it here....

Every other courier can manage 2/3 day delivery but ohhhh no, not Evri.

Often I don't realise they are the courier until after I have ordered something. Then it's cross your fingers and hope for the best!

You do realise that not every is a personal friend of their evri driver and live around the corner? Most evri drivers might deliver within an area of several miles and wouldn’t want the people they deliver to knowing where they live. They generally will return packages to the depot.

NameChanges123 · 12/12/2024 19:40

Yep, that happened here too.

Littletinytarzanswingingfromanosehair · 13/12/2024 00:31

But why lie?
The parcel was due to get delivered between 11:30 - 12:30 and the dude arrived at 11:52 to park outside my house, take a photo and take off. Was he running that late behind?
