You may remember last year at this time, the 3 or 4 parcels that went missing via Yodel, and the merry game I had before they admitted they had lost them. Well, I ordered a 15kg box of Millet Sprays, and when I checked the order tracking, I could have died !!! OH no, no, no, bloody Yodel

However, this morning I had a text from them to say my parcel was on its way, and sure enough, its arrived.
Really nice guy, way better than the last episode.
Have they tried to improve their image. It seems so. Sending texts, never had that last year.
Now I can get on and fatten up them Zebra Finches for Christmas starters

Wow...now a text update to tell me my goods have been delivered !!!!!!
Bit pointless, unless they deliver goods to the wrong place!!!!

Had a few things delivered from yodel , happy with the service so far which is more than can be said for Parcels2go

Saw the title and hoped they'd been shut down

I sent a parcel with ParcelForce a couple of months ago, they were double the price of the likes of Yodel and Hermes and they lost it.

UPS if it's important/valuable, Post office for the rest...

[Sir Tigger KC]

I send quite a lot of stuff and generally use whoever is cheapest via Parcel2Go which is usually Yodel or Hermes and havn't had any problems so far. 

I only used ParcelForce as the parcel was too big for Hermes drop off (at the corner shop) service and I couldn't wait around for a pick up. Typical!    Royal Mail/ParcelForce are very expensive compared to the couriers.

Waiting for a pkg from Yodel since Tuesday, just been told i might get it by Saturday but no guarantee
Got a refund from the company who were sending it now. You watch, the useless tossers will deliver in a minute

It seems to me that it's a lottery no matter who you use. I got a text from amazon on Sunday morning saying they were going to deliver that day. Sunday....hmmmmm. Nothing by five o'clock so I thought they were not coming. Dropped through the letterbox at 6:30, shortly followed by the text to say it had been delivered.

I'm still awaiting my delivery from UPS, been on their tracking & its allegedly still on the van

I think you are probably right, STMO....its just a lottery of luck

the last time  I had a yodel delivery it got lost, tracking only said it had left the depot, they are a shambles. My old company helps them with their staff checks and their staff turnover for drivers is huge something like 100% over 12 months (ie if they have 8,000 drivers they have to recruit 8,000 drivers, a small % stay with them most are short term, seasonal, or get replaced within a few months hence the high volume of recruits)
