As it appears in the thread, most of those agents are doing their job right so it just must be a crap agent in your area.

This wouldn't shock me at all tbh. It wouldn't shock me if they steal half the stuff too.

I'd probably go with DPD for the stalking driver ability.

that infuriates me. our driver must pass our office at least 10 times before he makes the drops here :mad:

You can tell if they've pulled over on their lunch break

If you click to street view you can see what they are eating

He know's you're watching that's why

A seller used them for a guitar I ordered.

Lost for 2 weeks and arrived re-packaged with parts missing.

Never again will I use or accept Hermes

Used them a couple of times and never had any issues. Sure their not the fastest courier but you get what you pay for.

Herpes are rubbish. Worst courier ever.

Budget courier moving stuff at close to the cost of what it actually costs to move stuff.

Not a lot left over for things like, service, giving a toss, employing people who can read and write etc.

hermes = self employed delivery drivers

CollectPlus are ace, though I didn't have any issues the few times I have used Hermes.

It's not the drivers that are bad though. Our local herpes delivery driver is alright (and he has a couple of other delivery contracts too), but it's the massive delays & damage in getting the parcel to him that's the problem.

Very good courier in my experience, very keenly priced and reliable every time i have used them.

yea our area is good it's very hit and miss

We've had a few parcels delivered by them and every time they've knocked on the door, opened it straight after and chucked it into the house. Not as bad as one person who had a missed delivery card when they were actually in and scrawled on the bottom was 'left under bucket next to car'.. amusing for us, annoying for him

You were aware of their delivery period, it's your fault for not being up.

Just a word of advice, NEVER use these lol, basically, I bought an item from eBay and the person i bought it from used MyHermes/Hermes to send it to me.

I was told it would come within the Tuesday the 18th and Friday the 21st, it came on Saturday the 16th at 7:45am,.

So courier service delivers early and you complain.

maybe not.

My mum is a regional manager for Hermes I believe, not sure she covers South Shields though (more Manchester way I believe!)

They have quite a good reputation from what I can gather, they used to be in-house couriers for Freemans/Grattan but went alone after their break down.

Utajoker, probably not the most customer focused/sensible comment to make
