If you want parcel left in a dustbin, IF YOU'RE LUCKY, then go ahead and use Yodel, most of the time, they say it's delivered when it hasn't

Yodel fucked up big time a couple of years ago at xmas i think?
Clinton Cards was one of there clients and they sent too much volume through their network. Which had a knock on effect.
Not sure what they are like now.

More than once making no effort to deliver when I was definitely at home and the door buzzer is as loud as the crack of doom, suspect if running late they just stick a card through the door and drive off. They were in the news for damaging ceramic poppies from the Tower of London. One guy's CCTV caught them lobbing the box over the gate.

I run a small business and use UK Mail. I do send heavy 25kg parcels through their network. They have been reliable this year certainly.
What does piss me off about them is when they send there template letter every year saying how they have grown the business, handled record volumes, investing £10 million in a state of the art hub...... and right at the bottom we are changing your tariff and an increase of 3% is essential.
With the fuel prices remaining low and having record volumes it pisses me off because as a small business I am trying to grow my customer base and don't want to keep hitting my customers with increases.
They seem to give you a really good starting price and then if the volume isn't there, it's price increases every year.
If you speak to the sales rep all you get is "this isn't the business we are looking to do anymore."
Basically all they ideally want to move is jewellery boxes. Light items that don't weigh anything.
I would either go for UK Mail (better the devil you know) or an APC Depot Network member.

Very happy with deliveries from Hermes but someone I know who worked for them didn't have a good word. Yodel are crap and I wouldn't trust them.

Yodel are piss poor, but Hermes are an utter fucking disaster. I use the parcel2go website and generally stuff with DHL, UPS etc is much the same price.

parcel2go shows you best offers of a number of couriers, but don't use yodel
