Is it me or are home deliveries getting worse? I have ordered from Amazon first years, usually extremely good delivery service, however it seems as though Sellers are now using cheaper delivery companies resulting in very poor service to nine delivery.

Last night at about 6:45 an email arrived advising that the ‘wonderful’ delivery service Evri had attempted to deliver a package but were unable to do so as my drive was blocked, totally untrue my driveway is about 150 yards long, so the message was delivery attempt failed. Give Amazon their due, I emailed them to complain, they immediately offered me a Gift Card if £10. Can yo7 believe it whilst I was emailing Amazon another email arrived, again from Evri, advising that at 6:53 they had delivered a package to my back door under the porch, i don’t have a back door that is accessible from the front if my house, I don’t have a porch, my husband checked to see if anything had been delivered, nothing, so back onto Amazon.

Following my exchange with Amazon I emailed my immediate neighbours to ask if in the morning they could check, a neighbour checked more or less immediately and said my package had been delivered to their house.

The thing I find amazing was - was it 2 Evri drivers delivering within the space of 10 mins as if so one if the drivers must have had to reverse quite a distance down a single track road in order to allow the other to pass, or was it 1 driver who was totally useless, I think the 2nd option fits the bill, in any event only one parcel has been received heaven only knows when the other will arrive. Oh just a thought maybe if it were 2 Evri drivers trying to deliver it could explain the supposed blocked driveway - an Evri van blocking another Evri van!!!


I wonder if anyone else encounters this kind of thing?
