Everyone's least favourite Swiss courier....

Evening all,

My Wasp Nano finally arrived today

"Delivered" by Yodel

"Delivered" obviously means "thrown over the back fence" where I have ended up with busted packaging. Again.

Haven't look inside yet.

I know I haven't said this for about 6 months....and it's the season of goodwill....but.....I ABSOLUTELY PATHOLOGICALLY HATE YODEL....

Feel better now.....

Look on the bright side, there's not much you can break on a RDA.
It may taste like damp grass though.

When I get stuff via Yodel it is almost always the same guy. Now I do not appreciate deliveries at 9.00pm but this poor chap is working into the night to make a living and he always waits a good time for a reply and always has a smile. How he manages it on a freezing cold night is beyond me.

Perhaps he is still delivering at 9.00 because he takes a bit of care. He definitely never throws stuff around. Just putting in a word for the poor bastards who work for these fairly dreadful companies and after all we do appreciate cheap delivery.

Richard46 - I do completely agree that delivery/courier drivers are seriously put upon - a set amount per item, crazy schedules etc.

I am certainly aiming my wrath at the company rather than the drivers - I'm sure the drivers are treated almost, if not as, badly as their customers.

I think worse!

Yodel drive me mad, too, once they left 3 'you were out' slips in my mailbox on consecutive weekdays, all with no number to phone to re-arrange the delivery - in the end the damn thing was not delivered. I tried to complain - got the runaround from Yodel and the Vendor so got nowhere very slowly. Never got that package... gave up in the end

I must be very lucky..I've only ever had one "Yodel" delivery. On time and delivered by a lovely man.
