You could always go down town and buy your stuff there.
I live in South Shields. There's nothing that I can buy down town. The metro started the decline then the internet put the final nail in the coffin.

M&S call Evri a trusted company, well the last and final order I will purchase from M&S was to delivered 3 hours earlier to the wrong house and the photo was not my feet. The parcel was eventually delivered 2 days late, this was a next day delivery parcel. They turned up the next day to take it back, without the promised collection time email. M&S customer service couldn't give a shite.

I know mate, but people allowed that to happen, luckily there are still some places left, (not for long mind) when they go, all we'll have is Amazon, once they buy out the competition, that's why people should think about the alternatives, before they disappear, cash is a prime example, can you imagine the stunts the banks will pull in a cashless society.I live in South Shields.

Me neither, the only time my parcels have ever been stolen is when they're being delivered by evri. I refuse to use them and wish the Disney store wouldn't use them ffs

When did it become acceptable for them to not even bother knocking, just trying the door handle and hoying it in if it's open?
Yours knocked? Better than I get. I've had two work laptops left on my doorstep and only found out when I got an email.

Suits me. Better for them to leave it on the doorstep than to leave a "sorry you were out" card.

I found a parcel just propped against the front door. They didn't even ring the bell. I spotted it just as it started to rain and it only had a few splashes on it.
It contained a book and something electrical so it would have been returned.

I got one this week and the sackless knacker was halfway down the drive by the time I got the door open.
He just pointed and said “There”
I don't knowingly due to the horror stories, but I am yet to experience an issue with scores of deliveries. Royal Fail on the other hand....

The doorstep is on the outside of the house. You’re ok with them just walking in the front door and dropping it in the hallway?

I assume everyone has updated their delivery preferences to their exact liking, has a rough idea of when their order is arriving and won't spend 5 minutes going backward and forwards looking for keys, tutting loudly and then being extremely irritated that the thing they ordered online has had the audacity to turn up when it said it would. You've had 8 notifications, motherfucker, and my next drop is in 40 seconds time.
People in general are absolute bellends.

I used to get better updates than I do now. Used to tell me how many stops away my parcel was. That has stopped recently.

My dear old mother told me she recently saw a young Amazon delivery lad leaving a trail of parcels on the footpath outside a row of terraced houses - she asked him if he though they’d be safe (clearly not as anyone passing could walk off with them) - lad said routes were so big they were doing the job of two men so didn’t have time to return if people weren’t home!

Been a long time since I drove for them so no idea! Better updates I think if you click the link in the despatch email and look on your web browser rather than the app.
The drivers are under a lot of pressure, and being Amazon, it's absolute wank pay. Just need to cut them some slack, but if they're not following the process, they won't be staying as drivers for long...
Edit: last route I did for them was 218 stops around Whitley Bay, didn't leave the depot until 11:40 and at that point their nav system didn't know the one way streets. I've had better days.
