We get about one delivery a week with Hermes, they NEVER deliver in the time slot they say - and that can be at 9pm which is a total pain esp when it has NEVER been delivered at that time. Latest yesterday they did not deliver at all because they alleged no-one was at home - a complete fantasy - we were there the whole time, the gate was open, the house door was open and even a note on the threshold to tell them we were home and to leave parcel on the threshold. Do not use them. All our mail orders will now specify 'please do not deliver with Hermes'.

Hermes Delivery Not Arrived In Time Slot Time

Our latest Amazon guy has obviously had SAS training too. We have a knocker and a doorbell but he always taps really lightly on the door with his fingernails. I have no idea why, it’s not like we have to sign for anything.

I had this happen to me a while back, bloody infuriating.
I spoke to Malcolm my regular postman the next day when he turned up and delivered it.
He'd been off the previous day and reckoned that the relief postie probably didn't have access to a van, so couldn't be arsed with carrying the parcel as it was bulkier & heavier. Then just slipped the card in & legged it, knowing that if he reported it as a 'could not deliver' case, the delivery would be rescheduled anyway.
Not saying it was what happened, but it did make some sense to me.

When I lived in Australia I was just on the way out and as I got close to the door the post was pushing a 'sorry you were out' card through the letterbox, I opened the door and said 'no I'm not' He obviously couldn't be arsed to carry it

Well the plot thickens. I just had an email from eBay saying 'your order has been delivered'. Rang the Mrs and she said no-one had called. Turns out they'd left it on the bloody doorstep and scarpered.

I was waiting for a delivery from Hermes. I'd been given a time slot but we needed to go out, however we also needed the goods that day. As the end of slot neared my wife decided to go on ahead, meanwhile I'm waiting at the window looking for the driver. Next thing, my email pings and I've got a message to say that the parcel has been delivered.
There's no card through the door, no one has knocked or rung and I've been watching. I decide that the parcel may have gone to another address round the corner (similar road name). On my way out I call round but they're out and no parcel on the door step. Hermes don't make it easy for you to find a number for them so in the end I have to go out to the appointment, When I return home there is a card from Hermes saying that my goods are behind the gate, which indeed they were.
I realised that the drivers have targets to meet the delivery slots so, when they are going to be late, they just press the button to say that the parcel has been delivered. It's happed to me a few times since that the email arrives 10 minutes before the parcel.

I once waited in all day for a Tele delivery, holding in a big poo. At about 4 in te afternoon it was all too much and I went for a quick sit down jobbie. The second the first cigar started worming its way out, bloody knockity-knock on the door, i forcefully pinched off the loaf and ran downstairs to no avail, he'd bloody gone and all I had to show for it was a mucky bottom.

I'm afraid people in these jobs are now managed by apps and computers that 'calculate' the schedule but rarely do they match up to real world situations so the poor delivery driver is faced with financial penalties for not meeting what are often ridiculous targets.
I read a story about an American UPS driver who was reprimanded because the sensors in her van relayed to management that the lady was starting the engine and then putting on her seat belt. they said it should be done the other way round so fuel would not be wasted during the time it took her to fit her seatbelt.
