Ordered an item off e-bay at the weekend and opted for click and collect option to my local Argos store.Got in last night after a day out to find I'd received an e-mail from Hermes to say the parcel had been delivered,but I'd had no notification text to say it was at the store.Went on Hermes site to check tracking of parcel and according to them they tried delivering it yesterday afternoon but I wasn't in Well of course I wasn't in I don't live in the Argos store where they allegedly delivered it Anyway they are supposedly going to try to deliver it again today,will be interesting to see what happens this time

[Doctor Gollum]

Note to self, always choose the alternative courier if Hermes are the senders first choice

Even if it costs more. The benefits are worth every penny

Hermes generally couldn't deliver a box in a warehouse without something going wrong.

They are just useless, pathetic excuse for trying to be a Courier Company, Ive had more trouble as a Receiver expecting stuff to arrive in the last 12 months than all of the Others in my Lifetime, sick to death of them, oh, did I say they were Useless.

From an eBay point of view I always ask the question now with the Seller, Please dont send via Hermes, I would rather pay a few quid more and get it sent by A N Other, but the usual thing I get back is " Oh Ive never had any problems sending stuff with Hermes, there wonderful", yea right, Try receiving stuff, Oh and did I say they are Useless.

Yodel.....

[aaronjb]

Can't say I've had one from them in a while.. most people seem to use DPD these days (or occasionally UPS or FedEx)

[scimmy_man]

I sent a caravan oven via dhl

never arrived after chasing they said its delayed, a few days later they said its "smashed"
they delivered it back,its lozenge shaped, still arguing for a refund, they want proof I actually sold it or £21...

never had a problem with herpes

[Sir Tigger KC]

Sent loads of stuff with Hermes over the years and I've never had a problem.

Aldi use Hermes to deliver small items here. They can't really go wrong as it's just a local fella in his Daewoo that drops it off. 

[TheBoy]

No issues with Hermes here...

[BazaJT]

They have in fact managed to deliver it today,so obviously I must have been "in" when they got to the store

your not allowed to go to Argos UNTIL you get emailed the delivery code 
so you can't have been IN argos when the delivery happened Baza 

[Doctor Gollum]

Well he might have been, but they wouldn't have given him his parcel

[BazaJT]

No I wasn't "in" got confirmation e-mail and I'm going to pick it up tomorrow

[BazaJT]

That sometimes happens if it's the first post on the next page, it shows on the front page as the last reply, but doesn't actually appear until someone else posts. JAIME!!!!!!!!!!!

[STEMO]

Either that or........Hermes delivered your last post late.

[zirk]

Reading between the lines, I am guessing you aren't a fan........

No,       .......Oh I did I mention there fukcing useless  .

Maybe its just me then or my Area, never seen the Hermes Delivery Man (or Woman), never seen a Card left by them, never seen a Van, never heard any Door Bells Ring when Ive supposedly not been in to accept there Delivery, never actually Signed anything that I haven't received despite the Seller saying its been delivered and Signed for.

Their on my Bucket List of Places to Burn Down and People to shoot before I leave this Planet, as far as I concerned there fukcing useless.

Actually, having said all that, I did find a Boxed Nokia Charger in the Front Garden when trimming the hedges one day, dated about 9 months earlier, not one of mine, never Ordered it, but it did come in handy.

I think where several of the carriers use local last mile delivery people, it is very dependent upon how good the local delivery agent is. Touch wood, I had no problems for sometime and I average one or two deliveries a week, sometimes more.

Usually order online from Aldi if a special offer I want is large or heavy. The most annoying thing with Aldi is that you get the email on the day of delivery & where I have all emails going to my PC with its large screen size, if I've had an early start on a day out I don't know about it to change the delivery until I get home.

Hermes small stuff been ok so far.. Sent a well packaged zafira door this week using the ligth and large service. The reciepient has sent me pictures of the glass apature bent like a fork lift has dropped on it. Fair play thou. They still delivered it!

[Doctor Gollum]

Credit where it's due... Their drivers have some nerve no shame

I had a window blind (house, not car, so ~2.5m long box) delivered once that clearly had fork lift tyre tracks across one end of the box ... they have no shame at all! (Don't think that was Hermes, maybe DPD)

Hermes delivered my new number plates yesterday, without drama or damage

[dave the builder]

Hermes delivered me a 1/2" DR PRO QUICK RELEASE CRV STEEL RATCHET £7.45 Inc post
they cost £25 in halfords
the repair kit is more expensive than replacing it off Ebay

Hermes delivered my new number plates yesterday, without drama or damage

They delivered mine last year but one of them was printed upside down.

Hardly Hermes Fault
