    if you're not there to accept then thats your problem.

    Well the economy of the country is going to go down the tubes pretty quickly if the only people who are working are Nightline delivery drivers as everyone else sits at home waiting for their packages to arrive.

    I had two deliveries today, one by An Post and one by Nightline. The An Post guy called me to see what he should do with the package as I was at work (unfortunately I missed the call and only got the voicemail an hour later). As he wasn't able to get hold of me he left it with my next door neighbours and a note telling me what he'd done. There was also a second note from the Nightline guy telling me what he had done with his delivery. And sure enough it was where he said it would be - fcuked over the side gate, and I mean fcuked over, it was about 8-10 feet from the gate, and sitting on the wet ground in the pissing rain. Thankfully it was a) not breakable; and b) well packaged, but I fail to see why he couldn't have also tried a neighbour first. And this happens pretty much every time I get a delivery where they're the courier.

    It's not their problem what happens to the economy.

    If you go elsewhere online you find threads whinging about how items shouldn't have been left with neighbors.

    The lack of personal responsibility is atrocious.

    YOU organized the delivery. YOU are responsible for being capable of receiving YOUR package.

    Use a parcel motel or install a parcel box. Or send it to your workplace, or a relatives. Seriously ffs. How can people be putting responsibility for their lives on a random driver.

    If you can't receive it, then don't order it.

    I would avoid Nightline: my experience.

    The fact that Fastway exists cannot be used to make Nightline look good. I find DHL to be a far more professional company than either. Yes, I probably pay a bit more for delivery but, in my experience, they are more reliable and that's worth it. I now have to go to the trouble of asking a company who their courier is as I refuse to buy from a company which uses either Fastway or Nightline as they are simply not reliable. It would be much better if all companies had to disclose their courier company under the 'Delivery' details before we buy.

    Switched to nightline from an post in work. Had about 80 packages going out a day. Started off good but as time went on they were not delivering next day as agreed and then started loosing packages. This would be expensive equipment. Went back to an post after 3 months

    I second DHL with An Post coming second. Pigeons coming third.

    Does anyone know how to deal with Nightline effectively?

    Every parcel they have ever delivered to me has been painful. Delivered to wrong properties. Days late. No chance of ever getting tgrough to driver if you miss the call. False calls made not giving you time to answer.


    How are they still in business? They must be dirt cheap

    We had very similar with Nightline a few years ago, but have had no problems with deliveries since we took action: by contacting the retailers, complaining about the lack of deliveries, getting refunds and telling them we weren't buying from them as long as Nightline were the delivery method. We now just shop elsewhere.

    Sorry to resurrect an old thread (not really) but the reviews for nightline are absolute gold.

    https://www.google.com/search?q=nightline&oq=night&aqs=chrome.0.69i59l2j69i57j69i65l2j69i60.2832j0j4&client=tablet-android-samsung&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#istate=lrl:iv&lkt=LocalPoiReviews&rlimm=13890332878440617569

    I was supposed to have a delivery recently by the supposedly better DPD but when the messing started and I saw the reviews for DPD I immediately opted with the seller to have the package sent back to ask for a refund, which will take about a month as DPD will hold the package for forever before sending it back. Still, not my problem thank God.

    In saying that, I can't praise Parcel Motel, a Nightline company(!), highly enough.
