Mr courier guy. For the second time this week had a word as they bang the door as if their life depended on it instead of using the bell. Drop the parcel on the floor and by the time I open the door, they are already back in the van and leaving. Not even waiting to see if anyone was in. If I was away for a week, that parcel would be their for as long ( or not). Then you get the ones that try to take a pic as proof with you in the picture as you are opening the door. No, take a pic of the parcel by all means but I don't want to be in it. Then you get the ones that don't leave your parcel if you are not in as there was no safe place to do it despite lots of safe places in my case to do so which are also in the account notes. What do you want me to do? Install an outdoors safe and give you the combination? Well there you go, it's all of my chest now and feel a lot better. Over to you  |

Our Amazon driver delivers here so often that he recognises me in the street miles away  . The Evri guy always knocks and waits then takes a photo, I try to keep my feet out of it but I'm thinking of getting a selection of amusing footwear to make the snaps more interesting |

Hermes? You are lucky you get it at your door.
Mine get thrown from the van as they drive past!!
Remember the Paperboy game on the Spectrum? That’s how they train.  |

I use my old wheely bin as a parcel deposit. I Just wheel it out the front and leave instructions to put the package in the wheely bin (marked parcel deposit) always works
Tbf Evri are great where I am, and I like that they send pictures, always sending stuff to Edinburgh and it reassures me that the parcel has arrived

What a great game that was!"
I know. I could play it right now now I’ve mentioned it. |

Can’t really fault my delivery drivers but I would like to take an advantage of this thread and thank to my neighbours for taking my parcels in while I couldn’t obviously open the door myself.
I was most likely tied and blindfolded so thanks again  |

I tried the bin before a while back. I forgot to take back in and was emptied by the bin men with two parcels in though it was not anything expensive |

Mine banged so hard on the door this morning I though I was getting raided
I know they dumped a parcel in my nieces bin on bin day and never left a card???
Told my brother his expensive package had been delivered and signed for by him??
He was at work??
Then said it would be re delivered the next chance they had? (thought it had been delivered and signed for)??
Took a fortnight and eventually the company he bought it from delivered another one
Weeks later the same driver did it again
Collared him in the street asking why he got a message saying his parcel was delivered and signed for and the driver hadn't a clue what to do.
Finally said he scanned the wrong package and handed it to my brother
Thieving gits he's no longer working his route |

Some decent ones but most seem to do what they like. I put a small note saying please ring the bell, don't bang the door but they still do it.  |

No complaints from me, generally try to order things for delivery on a day I'll be home. Also from drivers point of view, they are put under extreme time pressures to deliver X amount of parcels. |

That's awful.
I used to work with a woman who's husband was a delivery driver for a local delivery firm, She was saying that at Christmas larger and more expensive items will go missing in the post and drivers will use them as presents for their own families or get sold on. I was disgusted, people work hard for what they have and God knows what someone has gone through to buy that item or saved for and I told her this, also reported it to the company. Not sure what happened, they said they'd look into it, and she never spoke of it again |
