F@&€ing couriers

[Big Sandy]

I’ve finally had a part for my nephews Ford fiasco it was sent with royal fail 48 hour it took 8 days there’s no wonder they’re having difficulty

That's cos Evri have fingers in that pie....

Tomorrow, I'll be driving to the depot to pick up my parcel if it doesn't turn up tonight.

And ..... it's back at the bloody depot. Just changed the status so that I can pick it up from the depot tomorrow. Wasted 3 days waiting for this delivery now. DHL by the way.

It happens at a lot of transport companies.its the old thing nothing to hide so get on with it. I have had a few over the years.

I would rather shop local than bother with delivery companies,
When the local independent traders have been forced out of business by so many folk buying online just to save a small % then it will get worse for sure,

Unfortunately we have reached that point . The last proper car spares shop closed 6 months ago. A real Aladdins cave with a dark area he would disappear into and come back out with a dusty box
Land Rover dealers are useless for Series Parts.
I really don’t know where my nearest proper shop is now.

Quick update on my latest DHL debacle - 30 mile round trip to the 'local' depot - collected my Defender parts - packaging torn - parts poking through - scraped corners - bare metal showing
Luckily it a part which will not show and was going to be given an extra coat of paint anyway so not returned.
Complained to DHL. Branch manager couldn't even be bothered to call back. Apparently this depot has 150 vehicles and currently operating with just over 70 drivers. Great planning coming up to the Xmas rush.

I ordered a part it was sent by royal fail 48 he tracked 13 days latter still not arrived and tracking unavailable

 

[AlWorms]

Do you guys not have Aramex in the UK?

If you took the very parts parts of every courier place in the world and combined them... That's Aramex.

 

[Big Sandy]

Yes, Aramex head office is in Slough.

Problem here, in my location at least, is every courier service uses sub contractors. So in my location things seem to get to Dundee, or Inverness, then get handed to another courier. That's where it falls down. The tracking shows as delivered, as it's been handed off to another carrier.

I had some parts being delivered by Tuffnells. On the day of delivery I actually saw the lorry on its way up the A9 as I was heading south. About an hour later I got a text saying the delivery had been made. The parts turned up three days later, with a courier from Thurso. I actually asked Tuffnells to track the delivery and it was them that told me that handing over to another delivery agent counts as delivery!

There you have it.

DPD delivered my parcel on Christmas eve.
I know this because the tracking service tells me so.
What it doesn't tell me, is WHERE it's been delivered to...
Forking ridiculous.......

 

[Big Sandy]

Funny that, post van drove in this morning, and the tarmac is black as you like.
