I don't ask for much, but when you pay for next day delivery on some items, you kind of expect it.
I have £120 worth of untreated wood, delivered today sitting outside in the rain, they are rather long lengths which I'm now struggling to move and keep in various locations around my house to avoid them becoming sodden, but I was rather hoping to do some DIY. In the same day I arranged for other materials (joist hangers, nails, screws, some twin & earth cabling, etc etc) to be delivered at the same time.
But no, its not that easy....according to Yodel.
Apparently they don't employ profressional delivery drivers, they employ Bob down the road in his Vauxhall Astra or Adrian from Margate in his Honda Civic with coloured spinners and boom box in order to provide you with a "better personable service" and later deliveries. Additionally these same drivers have the option, should they so wish to buy a map or use a Sat Nav and if your a poor unfortunate who gets someone that a) doesn't know the area b) can't be arsed looking and doesn't even own a map, which I find incomprehensible as a delivery driver or c) finds it easy just to ignore you and report back at 10:25 am "Consignee cannot be reached" without actually bothering their arse to go out, then your screwed.
I don't want a better personable service, I want my f****ng goods delivered on the day I asked for them.
