) and being quite rural the village name isn't actually where the house is and the postcode is vague. Some of the other courier companies the drivers and/or customer service staff are unable or unwilling to engage brain and figure it out - it isn't actually that difficult though I can appreciate it catching someone out at first glance, but anyone even remotely intelligent should be able to quickly figure it out after the initial confusion.Amazon probably tells the drivers off and puts pressure on them to deliver.One thing I will say for Amazon Logistics - so far none of the people driving for them have had any problem finding my address - it is a slightly less than straightforward one as the house name (no number) can make it look like the address is in the wrong order (and some systems even try to correct it
And yet they've delivered my orders to the wrong address multiple times even though every house (except ours) has the house number on it. They even delivered to the wrong side of the road last week where the house number extremely clear and they had to be pretty much staring at it when they dumped it in front of the neighbours door. I should also note that the instructions for delivering here say leave in porch. The house they left it at doesn't have a porch ... that should have been a clue! Utterly useless drivers.
Seems like a you problem tbf
Hardly. If they can't read the door numbers either side of our house then they need glasses. It's not like they're hard to read; the drivers are just completely lazy/blind. And the fact they can deliver to completely the wrong side of the road when the door number is staring them in the face is inexcusable.
Why don't you just fit a door number? :S
Not sure who you are white knighting for here - from what the lad said, he has a regular door number in the pattern you'd expect, but he doesn't have a number on his house. He is whinging they can't find his house, but doesn't have a door number.Have you considered that sometimes a house can be built where there wasn't a house before and the sequence of numbers would not fit to postal area, which explains a name rather than number.
BUT what number would be your choice
DPD are the only one that seem to allow you to set this up that I've found. Handy for us as there are 2 number 6s on our road and the other house get a bit arsy with us when a courier/take away driver gets the wrong house for some reason like I'd purposefully rather have them get our stuff
£26? I get 24 Andrex for £13 from Amazon on Subscribe and Save. Love it, so much better than the supermarket branded rubbish.
I've lived in this house for a lot of years and not needed a number as every other house near me does have the number clearly on their house. I'm also not sure why I should suddenly need to as Amazon Logistics (who are the only ones who have managed to mis-deliver) have proven it doesn't matter if the door number is on the house or not, they still manage to deliver to the wrong house 1/2 dozen times a year.
Yeah, they should totally be able to guess door numbers.
