sorted byUsed inpost a few times recently too and no issues either. Last week i did have an barcode error, where it kept on opening a locker that already had a parcel in there, which did worry me, but customers services were great and sorted the issue straight away.
Same, although I’ve stopped using RM now as their 24 tracked service is abysmal. Sent loads of parcels using that and on average it a taking 3 to 4 days for 24 tracked delivery. RM says it’s not guaranteed, which is fair enough, and they say since they now deliver the covid tests all the other parcel services are effected.
Not lost but stolen
Yes, totally agree, Hermes recruits thieves, my sold phone was tracked in Romania. Hermes delivers inPost parcels.
Ok I’ll use them to return something to Amazon, but to actually send to someone…. nooooooo
Delivery day is a lottery, usually take days to weeks, only company I’ve ever had problems with “lost” parcels
Compared to say DPD with their 1hr slots, real time tracking etc Hermes are just awful.
Cannot not recommend them enough
Sorry.
They've been pretty good for me; out of nearly 3 dozen parcels I've sent with them over the past 12m I've only had an issue once (Item stolen from delivery location according to the buyer).
Surprisingly quickly too; ~50% arriving the day after drop-off, ~40% arriving the day after that, and ~10% taking longer.
Even in the run up to Xmas they managed not to disappoint.
For next-day, £60 insurance included, and up to 5kg, they're competitively priced too.
Never a single parcel missing out of hundreds. You must be the unluckiest person on earth.
I've used ebay since 1999.
One parcel missing in that time. Royal Mail.
Raise action fraud report and try to get money from eBay. Other option- small claims court (edited)
Issue is not with them - It was Hermes who stole my parcels
All red feedbacks on 5 years old ebay account.
I wish I could sue then and they stop operating in UK.(mad)
I don’t use the lockers
I did when the £1 offer was on - again no issues
Hermes counter prices are excellent - use the old site and your can add a student discount for even bigger savings
Glad you said this, I was just about to post the same and ask if it had happened to anyone else. I thought it was an error initially but afterwards realised there was probably enough room for my parcel in there too, so maybe it was by design when approaching capacity, obviously far from ideal but you need a valid parcel code to open the door so if the other one goes missing, they should in theory know who it was...!?
Good point although couriers also know the system so I can also see them
thinking that where there is more than one parcel in a locker, the one at the back is “fair game” as they know someone else has been in the same locker already.
to get it!
UPS are literally the worst
Similar story for me.
Sent, went missing, requested investigation & return to sender if found, turned up at the destination 2 weeks later - long after the buyer had been refunded.
Thankfully I had an honest buyer who notified me.
Eventually got a refund from PackLink for the postage cost, though they refused liability for the return postage even though I'd requested the parcel be returned to sender.
I think the crux of the problem is that InPost use Hermes, so you're left chasing PackLink, InPost and Hermes; each blaming the other when things go wrong. (edited)
You've been very unlucky. I've been using them on and off for years. I'd probably rate them the worst of the couriers but they're much improved, of late.
Can't agree with "get the insurance". They make their money from selling insurance, not delivering parcels. Even if you do buy it, they'll do everything in their power to avoid paying out. In the long run, you're better off self-insuring. I.e. write off the occasional parcel. That'll be cheaper than buying their insurance.
That's literally what insurance is for. "Unlucky" events.
It's rather quite the opposite, if you DONT buy it, then they will do everything to fob you off. All issues with insured parcels have eventually been compensated. Otherwise I only got £20 max.
A 100% delivery failure rate is not compatible with "writing off the odd parcel". Far rather give up a small % of profit than get shafted with a whole loss because eBay will immediately refund the buyer.
