    DPD and Evri have both been fairly reliable for me. I hope, given the conjoined past of the Royal Mail and the Post Office, that those two fairly reliable options don’t get completely Royal Mailed and stop working. Every time I see a delivery is being carried out by Royal Mail, I know it’s going to either be days late, or not show up at all until I wander down to the sorting office. They are completely useless – not that it’s the fault of posties, it’s (as almost always) the fault of the incompetent, cynical, money-hungry management tier. Filthy!

      Evri has the worst reputation nationwide by far. I have them on ring doorbell trying to shove a parcel that was bigger than the letter box through by force. They then sent a ‘proof of delivery’ picture to me that showed the box completely mashed. They’ve thrown parcels, left them in stupid places (including in a full recycling bin on bin day!), damaged them, lost them, and delivered them to completely the wrong house. Next door is full of people putting their delivery pics up with “Does anyone recognise this door?”.

        Yeah it’s really unusual, I’ve heard nothing but horror stories about Evri, and obviously about Hermes before them! Hermes were terrible for me, but for some reason any parcel I have through Evri turns up on time, and the drivers have been relatively nice - both down in London, and up in the Midlands! I’m sorry you’ve had such a nightmare with them though, bad delivery services are absolutely infuriating!
