A Southampton resident has taken aim at Evri once again after another driver dumped one of his parcels in a communal area and ran away to his car.
Wade Lander previously shared frustrations with the delivery firm, as his goods were previously misdelivered to the wrong flat and shoved in a neighbour's letterbox on Tatwin Crescent.
Despite Evri telling the Echo the driver at fault would be replaced, the Thornhill resident faced another setback on Monday from a different courier who mishandled his parcel again.
Anticipating a delivery from clothing brand Shein, Wade explained that the courier did not attempt to knock on his door when making the drop-off.
Instead, he simply "chucked down" the package in a communal area of the block of flats that he lives in.
When questioned by Wade's family, the Evri courier ran off, shouting that he "didn't care" about the misplacement.
"He was told that my family were going to report him," he explained.
"He ran from the building after saying he didn't care."
Printed on the parcel itself, the delivery address "clearly stated" in capital letters that Wade lived on the third floor, with the resident saying the mistake was a "same old Evri" error.

Wade's frustrations have resulted in him wanting to stand up and "fight" the courier firm.
He previously told the Echo that the issues he is facing have led him to reach out to businesses and ask them to send his parcels with anyone but Evri.
Issues have continued for Wade despite the replacement driver.
On previous occasions, he has reached out to delivery couriers and been offered a refund for poor delivery services.
"It’s not about having a refund, we’ve paid for something because we want it.
"You pay a premium for it to be delivered, it’s not like it’s dirt cheap, we pay above the odds because we don’t want to go out and get it."
A spokesperson for Evri told the Echo that the firm was sorry for not meeting the standards it expects.
The spokesperson said: "The vast majority of parcels in the area are delivered successfully and we are committed to instilling a culture where those who work with us to treat every parcel like they would for themselves."
Evri's local team confirmed that this incident involved a different driver to the one who was previously set to be replaced.
