Couriers being that lazy that they now don’t even knock or ring the bell before dumping your stuff on the door step before bolting!!!

For got sake, if your going to put it under the door bell or on the door mat at least let me know you’ve fly tipped my parcel.

Well at least they know where your parcel is.

Well at least they know where your parcel is.

True but when it’s delivered at 8.30am and you only find out when a visiting friend arrives at 6pm, the theft risk is silly!

Someone was in all day, and they left it right below the ring door bell without even pressing the dam thing.

Don't forget they have also put down handed to resident, Annie, Marge or anything else they're thinking will prove they gave it to you...

To be fair to the couriers, I think it is being too busy and under pressure than being lazy - in most cases.

The system is all wrong. Companies at the low end in particular win contracts by offering the lowest price. They can only make money by flogging the drivers, making them do unrealistic loads. The driver can only meet those targets by knock and drop or just drop. If they knocked every time, waited for the person to arrive, they would not finish anywhere near their finishing time.

I'm not excusing the drivers, I've been on the end of this, but it does explain why this happens. The fault is with the delivery companies, the companies giving out the contracts and us, the consumer, for wanting cheap shipping rates. It's the classic race to the bottom.

We are definitely at fault, wanting everything now and as cheap as possible.

Florence & the Machine.
Their song “you’ve got the love” is absolutely dreadful and on Radio 2 far too often.

I have a porch. The wife got a picture sticker with a van and written underneath, dear courier please leave package in the porch. Door opens outwards. About 2/3rds leave outside in all elements.

I remember one of my team dealing with a prisoner who had been arrested for stealing an Amazon van which had been left unattended by the driver with keys in the ignition whilst he made a delivery.

The driver’s statement confirmed what most of us suspect - the pressure they are put under to make deliveries is absolutely unbelievable. Annoying as their driving and delivery antics can be, I actually have a degree of sympathy with them.

 

[Imurg]

I once had 2 separate deliveries via DPD, on the same van..
Guy scanned the first and then we had to wait 3 minutes until he could scan the 2nd.
They have 3 minute slots between deliveries regardless of how far they have between them.

Yes, I've had the same happen.

Sorry, can’t resist.

People who shorten people to ppl.

 

[backwoodsman]

And given that I can think of several way that 'sckowduh' could be pronounced, am not sure where the problem lies?

I have no prob with knock and drop, or ding and drop…. But just drop is lazy.

If you leave it on the door mat, you literally past most letter boxes or knockers as you stand up, unless of course you just throw it.

Is that not how it is supposed to be pronounced?

Do you say aDEEdas instead of addydas and Nike instead of Nikey?

And that’s why the DPD service is a premium. When I run a mail order business, DPD lost one parcel in 4 years. As I offered free postage over a certain value I looked to cut courier costs as tried dhl/yodel and another who escapes me. After a month trying each it was back to DPD.

It’s how Skoda want it to be , several companies have done phonetic rebranding recently

Hyundai is pronounced “heee un day”

IKEA is “ee kia “

Slab is now “slob”.
Sorry that last one might be a lie
