That looks about finished to me. Put your feet up, shake a snack.

I’ve made a second complaint to DPD and DPD have stated through their chat feature on the app.

The sender (Huel) does not allow delivery of the items to a neighbour or a collection point or for the parcel to be taken away and delivery tried on another day. They have confirmed that if the person doesn’t answer the door, the parcel must be left at the address, even if it means on the public pavement.

Is this even a thing anymore?

I’ve had 3 deliveries this week. One DPD, one FedEx and one unknown.

I got home on Tuesday and found the unknown one on my doorstep without even knowing it was coming.

The DPD one I was waiting (upstairs) tracking him on the app. Heard nothing, then received an email saying it had been delivered to a “safe place” which turned out to be my doorstep.

Today, the FedEx guy knocked my door like a mouse and was almost back to his van before I’d got to my door so didn’t care if I was in or not.

… so huel staff don’t know this and neither did the chat app way back when when I tried to fix this.

For f sake

Last time I missed a Huel delivery it was taken to a parcel shop for me to collect. So I don’t think it’s correct that Huel doesn’t allow DPD to do it. Might be driver’s discretion, and they probably do whatever’s quickest

Could also depend of the weight of the parcel.

@Coup I’ve noticed “knocking like a mouse” is happening more and more. And not pressing the doorbell.

I never get a knock, or a ring. They always go straight to the ‘leave-it-here-if-I’m-not-at-home’ spot. Once I left the front door wide open, but made no difference.

It’s understandable, since there’s no longer any need for a signature, why waste time interacting with people?

But why is there no need for a signature anymore? All covid restrictions have gone. Normal service should have resumed. On the DPD app it says we’ll deliver it to your open doorway which would be fine but they don’t even do that. They (all couriers) just drop it on your doorstep and walk off.

No signature because in digitalization vs humans, digital wins everytime. :poop:

Mind you back in the days of signatures I had a delivery dumped on my doorstep (actually on the street pavement in the city centre) and my signature was actually forged. Discovered this when I complained, and was sent a scan of the sig. Would’ve been an interesting case to argue if the package had been stolen, but fortunately I wasn’t far away. They told me the driver would be ‘warned’.

My DHL, Royal Mail and FedEx drivers actually leave parcels in my kitchen. I have them trained well. But I used to have a lot of issues with couriers.

Yet I’ve had once to pick up and once to shop who tried to deny receiving it.

? Why did you assume such a thing?

It was a joke…

Don’t give up the day job

Have you deleted your post because you’ve realised the person the joke was made at has actually liked the post?

If you haven’t noticed, John and I take the piss out of each other on this forum all the time. So how about you just stay out of it.
