To be sick of fucking Hermes

Why do companies still use this shower of shite courier service. Why can't online shops make it clear who they use so I can totally avoid any that use Hermes. Not once has my order with them been a straightforward delivery or a pleasant experience. In the past Hermes has:

  • pretended to deliver when in reality the driver couldn't find my address at the time (newbuild) and lied saying I wasn't in
  • told me on tracker they'd left parcel with a 'neighbour' but it was a woman about 8 houses down the road. No note left either. I had to literally knock on every house on my street
  • left parcel halfway through the letterbox and half hanging out. I don't have a front garden so I'm shocked it didn't get pinched. It was a big parcel.

So many other times of being told a specific 2 hour slot for delivery and it not arriving or arriving late or them saying I missed delivery (despite me hovering by the front door the entire day). My parcel scheduled for Wednesday didn't arrive. Then I was told it would arrive Thursday between 7 and 9pm. It's now midnight and tracker shows it's "still out for delivery'. I'm back at work tomorrow and no doubt I will miss it. I tried contacting them but all you get is some shite automated messaging service. So fed up!

Our Hermes delivery man is amazing. Friendly, happy and personable. We love Norm he’s the best!!! At our previous address we had a Hermes driver who was rude and everything smelt of smoke…it all depends on the person
