Evri

[pieoftheday]

I've received an email from Evri, your parcel will be delivered today between 18.00 and 20.00 , who the fook wants parcels on a Saturday night?? Cant wait for management to introduce that for us

Did it arrive?

Yes it did ,a very light knock and he was back in his car just as I'd got off the sofa

Today I had 3 Evri packets in my tracked, told to just take them
All going to an Evri collection point (in a local Tesco) and all refused by said collection point as "we don't take Royal Mail".
So all going well down Evri

I had one and dumped it on managers desk, didn't come back to me, don't see why I should be taking their stuff.
Plain light grey plastic wrapping, didn't have a return address on it so don't know what company it came from or what happened to it.

Slightly different situation had a Boots box that was marked DPD. Delivered that as it was probably chucked into york directly from Boots by mistake so
was accounted for by volume/weight.

Surely any packets that aren’t Royal Mail get sent to Mail centre for surcharging.

So which bell end decided it was a good idea to deliver parcels on a Saturday night? I really cant imagine any research was done? What a fookin stupid world this is

There must be demand for it otherwise it wouldn’t happen

There's no demand for doorstepping parcels but it happens

Especially so for Sunday delivery. I've had stuff from Amazon delivered on a Sunday. There's no way that they'd deliver on a Sunday if the demand wasn't there

Same. Had a couple come through at the height of the pandemic and had to point out making space in my bag for a bypass parcel would mean leaving one of our own products. One mention of 'Tracked' and it was quickly agreed it should be put aside for revenue protection to deal with.

I genuinely don't believe there is, I know amazon etc like to tell us we need stuff delivered on a Sunday,

Did you actually want your item delivered Sunday?

If so the demand is there.

Soon as one does it they all have to do it. We're in a situation now where everything has to be available instantly. Remember when supermarkets were shut on a Sunday. Nobody died because of it. When nobody had a mobile phone we survived. We dont really need the things being delivered on a Saturday night. We are slowly becoming slaves to consumerism and things that apparently make our lives so much better and yet people seem to be more unhappy than they have ever been.
This is the world Royal Mail wants to be part of. Tragic really

Remember when shops use to have half day closing on Wednesday .... Shock Horror ... How did people manage to survive half a day without shopping?

I think you're right All these surveys telling us that people want to order late at night and have it delivered the next morning are all BS. Just like the surveys saying Nobody wants Bank Branches anymore, or Noone wants to use Cash anymore. The Results of these Bogus Surveys suit the aims of Big Business and Banks because they save them money. I don't believe they truly reflect the feelings of the general public.

Oops was replying to something else, doh

i received a parcel at 7.50pm the other night right in the middle of the football,needless to say i will not be ordering off that company again and emailed them to tell them that,after a hard days work while im relaxing in the evening i do not want couriers banging on the door,can you imagine the elderly afraid to open their door at that time of night,its a disgrace and should be made illegal in my opinion

[Gasman11]

Totally agree, imagine that being the norm for us and getting the message on your pda to take it to a neighbour, it's bad enough disturbing people during daylight, it's unacceptable and most people would be rightly cheesed off. Progress.

Most couriers will give you a 2hr time slot once the van has headed out, did they not send you a time slot?

Wow, bit of an overreaction

[Gasman11]

No-one should be banging on your door at 8, 9 or 10 o'clock, just bring it to me the next day instead. If this becomes the norm you should be given the chance to opt out of night time deliveries, think it's just blatant rudeness to be honest but that's probably me being old school.
