On line deliveries are gone up hundreds of per cent between covid and christmas
I have had 5 deliveries so far
3 have been left at doorstep after bell rang and no sign of driver after i answered door
The other 2 were sitting on doorstep after i came back from walking dog
Are drivers just being paid for just dropping off packages at houses?
Hundreds of new delivery drivers taken on to cope with new demand\\\\\no training?
Time was they would leave it next door

Do you have the facilities in place to receive the package, or do you expect the delivery driver to wait for you to finish walking your dog. For the 8 euro charge.

Personally I don't have a parcel locker at my house. Just a postbox through which you can fit some flyers, not a package/parcel.

So I use parcel motel. Which means the driver doesn't have to bend the laws of physics and fit a 10x10 box through a letter slot.

Get a parcel box or something.

Couriers are actively working against the clock and depending on their location can deliver hundreds of parcels against the day, if they happen to fall behind on their schedule they'll get a phone call from their bosses giving them a bollocking.

In a lot of cases they aren't supposed to return to the depot with parcels that were supposed to be delivered that day.

Big opportunity for organised crime now to swipe all the carelessly tossed over the fence packages. If I were a crimester I'd have a warehouse full of brand new Playstation 5's by now

Amazon drivers are under great pressure from Amazon to make their dekiveries. Had a relative working for them briefly, he left due to stress. You have to use their app not google maps and he found it hard to use. Base in Amazon kept ringing to see where he was and hassled him over waiting for someone to comeback to a house he delivered to, who had left a note saying back in 10 minutes. THey have to make a minimum amount of deliveries a day and its an insane amount allowing only a few minutes per delivery. It was mad enough and so intense my relative left after a few days.

Why do people order stuff online, not be home to receive it then complain when it's left at the front door

If you are at home in the evening, make sure to put porch \ front light on, some lads won't even get out of the van to knock if they think no one is home.

Don't deal with anyone who doesn't use DPD or UPS

Costs more but they work

Count yourself lucky, if it was Fastway, the package would be in somebodys garden hedge two counties away. Pack of bandits.

Hande hoche!

Find GLS grand too. Avoid Hermes like the plague.
