Graceland

Ordered a nice set of VDO Speedo and Tacho gauges, coming in at a total of £234 delivered from a reputable company on the 28th of May.

Parcel was sent out and I got a card in the post on the 29th as there was no-one home to sign for it. All good and well here.

I then go onto the Royal Mail website to arrange for the parcel to be delivered to my local post office, as due to a cut in opening hours, I am unable to get to the sorting office - No problems there. I get the confirmation email saying the parcel will be ready from 11am on Saturday.

Saturday comes, so i go down at 11:45 - no parcel. I go down today at 1545, no parcel again

I put the tracking number in on the website and it says the parcel has been delivered and signed for, but there is no proof of signature available WTF?

A phonecall later to the customer services, quoting said tracking number and all they can say is "well if its lost, you have to wait 14 days" WTF???????????? I payed for Special Delivery as the item is valuable and you have lost the cunt, and now you are telling me to wait 14 days "just incase it turns up" before I can claim


Bunch of fucking useless cunts at my local sorting office.


And before anyone says "well you should of been home to sign for it" - bollocks, I cannot stay home and do a job at the same time. Hence the reason I opted for the Special Delivery - I knew that if I wasn't in, then it would be returned to the local office asap for me to re-arrange a delivery.

Diamonds.

My postman doesn't even knock. I ordered a camera special delivery from Amazon, guranteed before 1pm etc, stayed in specially as it was a saturday. Checked at 11am, and there was a card.... Had to wait till the following tuesday - i may as well have had it delivered to work, which is what i do with 90% of stuff..

I'm lucky and know our postman very well and he's proper mint.

But some are right fucking jobsworths and don't give two shits

Don't get me wrong, the postie on foot is an absolute diamond bloke - young lad my age, very helpfull and pleasant. but the SD parcel came on a van just before 1pm (1255 ) so that cunt is to blame

Parcel Force are a shower of bastards but I've never had a bad experience of Royal Mail themselves.

As a rule of thumb, couriers are fucking useless. I reserve that opinion til one of the assorted muppets proves otherwise.

Remember the old joke about how to dispose of a body - call Parcel Force/CityLink/etc and arrange a delivery.

Aye that was maybe a bit strong but there are total wanks there.

The fuckin tossers lost nearly a grands worth of exhaust manifold and external gate! That was the beginning of April and I am STILL waiting for it to be resolved! The cheeky cunts even asked for me to send info I had already sent and said if I didnt respond within 5 working days we will drop the matter! That was when 3 of them had already fuckin passed!

Have you been back to the Local Post Office.
THEY have to sign for it when it's delivered to them.

I've had a similar thing, Parcel Apparently signed for by a French looking name. (I'm not French nor are any of my neighbours) Informed the sender in Australia who started a Lost claim. Aus Post could track it to the U.K, Parcel Force said it had DEFINITELY been delivered, but didn't know where.

Then I had this thought after a couple of days and went to the local Post office, met a French man who was behind the counter who gave me my Parcel and had wondered why I had taken so long to collect it.

they are very unhelpful imo, i posted something 1st class signed for, it didnt turn up for 2 weeks, when i rang to complain i was told " we cant guarantee the delivery times"

so why charge for 1st class recorded if they cant guarantee when it will get there.

incompetent is the nicest word i will use

Royal fail are bad, but the guy that delivered my RS500 intercooler a few weeks back, left the handbrake OFF the van as he got out, despite it being on a HILL, saw the van rolling so threw down my parcel onto the floor really hard as he tried to yank the handbrake on.
No damage but a bit silly, it was packed so well by Airtec that, it took me about 15 minutes just to get at it!!

Parcel Farce. Enuff said Ive NEVER signed for a special/recorded delivery, our postie either just shoves them in the letterbox or if its too big he knocks on the door and then passes me it

it seems i am quite lucky as my post man has got the sense to drop it in witht the next door neighbour

fpmsl.. I like 'mong' its on a par with the classic 'nob jockey' in playground insults. Not used nearly enough these days.

Perhaps I should have said, all the couriers I've encountered are useless. You'll certainly struggle to find anyone with a good word about Shity Link or ParcelFarce!

i can only say Business post OUR depot (cumbria) were all self employed and get paid on the signature for every parcel we deliver and the service OUR depot provides i think is superb, im not saying other depots are the same mind as i know a few folk off here have had bother with us
