DPD!

5 days in a row I have received the dreaded message of 'due to unforeseen circumstances we are unable to deliver your parcel'

I would mind less if there was an option to pick it up -but no!

So frustrating

Ive just Googled and it appears that DPD Staffordshire have been on strike before and during Christmas. It was announced in the Staffordshire Sentinel apparently... very quietly.

These DPD delays were / are due to the increase in demand by Royal Mail’s strike action rather than DPD strike action.

Quite right. My bad.

That'll teach me to read things properly.

Yodel.

To the point where I avoid companies who use them.

The last time I did, I was in all day, and got an email they said they delivered my parcel. They didn't and I didn't even get a card through the door. They effectively called me a liar and refused to even look into it. None of my neighbours had it. Eventually someone 2 streets away knocked on my door very angry that I he'd had my large parcel blocking his hall and I hadn't collected it.

My yodel driver is fast. However, I also won't use them anymore as he smokes so much that whatever is delivered makes me feel sick and is unusable.
