Christmas Gift Ideas TSV 19/12/23

 

[maymorganlondon]

I'm dubious about a gift idea TSV on 19 December when all the courier companies will be rammed solid with deliveries. Usually such late orders are doomed to arrive after Christmas, aren't they?

If it's Evri, then round here it will either be January or just get lost forever. I buy cat food from Zooplus or Pets at Home regularly and the number of times they have lost them is ridiculous. I mean how can they lose a big box full of cat and bird food. I do get them replaced but makes you think someone who works at Evri has cats as well. I have no faith whatsoever in them. Royal Mail is very good here.

My Evri ladies are wonderful. I always breathe a sigh of relief when I learn that my delivery is coming from Evri. Yodel are the worst; royal mail are very accommodating, Amazon are hit or miss.
I agree that expecting a QVC order made on 19/12/23 to be delivered before Christmas is wishful thinking.
I haven't noticed the High Street being as busy as usual - still busy- but there are parking spaces.

Royal Mail here is atrocious. I've a gift voucher gone missing,4 letters not one was for us and that's just for starters all the neighbours are saying the same.
We've had parcels for a road nowhere near us numerous letters and parcels for the next street it's diabolical. We were talking to a man in a shop who worked for Royal Mail and he said there were too many agency workers that couldn't care less.
I had an argument with one postman who was adamant I was telling him were I lived wasn't correct.

Anybody giving that as a Christmas present ...!

 

[stratobuddy]

I had a parcel from RM today (almost).

It would have easily fitted into my parcel box, but instead they took it to a neighbour at 12-30. He then went out, and is still out at 10-30 pm, I expect he is at a party.

And RM didn't leave a card either, I found out hours later when I checked the tracking.

In a word "No!"

Absolutely not. It wouldn’t arrive in time for Christmas anyway.

I must give a huge shout out to my wonderful Evri man - Duncan. He would deliver my QVC tat in 6 foot of snow and always with a smile. I know lots of couriers are rubbish and I know things go missing but I am the lucky one.

I'm giving a shout for Amazon drivers. You don't always get the same one but they are very good in our area.

Sorry Catz! Your poor kitty..

I usually buy cat food and cat “stuff” from Zooplus - occasionally PaH, and amazon if they have a really good deal!

Over a certain amount on zooplus, you get a choice of courier - Evri or Yodel - and I always choose Evri and for me, it’s amazing!

Often takes 2 days max…

It does help I know my Evri lady and she’s an absolute star!

Avoid Yodel like plague but they’re better than they used to be…

Also tend to avoid DPD but they’re actually not bad at all.

Amazon are v reliable (I’m on Prime), but very few of them will leave in my post box (I’ve got big plastic heavy crate with clip on lid bc I can’t get to the door and have a massive sign on door saying please don’t knock, leave there and I take responsibility etc!)

But no, they bang the door down, then leave in full sight on doorstop in rain or shine and put it down as “handed to resident”!

Know they’re all in a huge rush and I’m SO grateful to them all for what they do!

UPS are very good!

Italian Amazon drivers are usually very young women and men who do a great job. I never see the same ones twice.

I’m really lucky because I’ve never had an issue with any couriers. I’ve found Amazon, Evri, Yodel, RM and DPD to be very reliable and nothing that I’ve ordered over the years has ever gone astray. The only minor issue I had was when I got an email from Amazon saying that something had been delivered and it showed a photo of where it had been left but I knew it wasn’t in my safe place. I rang Amazon CS and they were able to track the driver’s vehicle and confirmed that he hadn’t been to my house but had left it in a safe place four doors up. He waited on the phone while I went to retrieve it. Had it not been there he said that I would get an immediate refund, but luckily a refund wasn’t needed.

 

[User 27140]

Over the last few weeks, I have had two Amazon orders sent to wrong address, two put in back garden of next door, three left on door step. (There are four adults in my house ordering) But my neighbours are great. Had to walk three streets along to deliver parcel wrongly left at my house. But Evri has been wonderful- left in safe place.

Going off at a tangent here sorry but "Waschies?" I absolutely hate these silly made up words, or even worse still when the word is pronounced the same but spelled differently. There's a vegan milk available called MYLK - Just stop it!!!
Back on track though - Waschies as a Christmas present...no thanks!!!
