I generally have Hermes delivery and must give a positive review ,I have had the same man and he has always delivered within the time slot on my email .
I have had the occasional problem when he has been on holiday and another driver has taken over his roll .

That is lovely Veganrock, what a kind thing to do. These drivers have worked all the way through in very difficult circumstances. I make a point of thanking people now much more.?

Some Hermes drivers are great. My sister in law organised a Christmas collection in her street for theirs - they raised over £300!

I’m not ordering from any company that uses Hermes for delivery because l have always had to go looking for my parcels when they are involved. I have watched Hermes go to another number in my street because they can’t be bothered to knock on the right door. Awful company check before you order that Hermes are not delivering.

Yes I was glad to have the photo lemongrove. Hopefully the thief does know someone size 8 with the initial 'J'! smile

The driver usually takes a photo of the parcel and where it’s been left, so if it isn’t in your chosen ‘safe spot’ it’s easy to prove.Amazon are always good in my experience about this kind of thing. We had a photo of our parcel in the porch.....only it wasn’t our porch.We did track it down to a near neighbour’s porch in the end thanks to the clear photo.
There are plenty of thieves around sadly.
I hope he/ she enjoyed your presents Shandy ? would the pj’s fit?

Hello, for anyone else that sends parcels, I thought you might like to know that I've had a positive experience with two large companies today.

My daughter lives in NI and has a 'safe' place that I always include on my orders.

I sent her a parcel from Amazon, she was out, and the Amazon driver just left it on the front step - it wasn't there when she got home. Amazon are sending a replacement tomorrow.

I also sent her a parcel from Debenhams, and it was delivered by Hermes, she was out again, it was also just left on the front step. It wasn't there when she got home. Debenhams offered a replacement but they are out of stock and have refunded me.

I hope the thief is a cake baker and a pyjama wearer smile
