Do they still do Crunchie McFlurrys over there? They discontinued them here so I haven’t bought one in ages.

“That’s aaaawwwwsome!!” :joy:
My 4 years old adores this guy. After 5 minutes of watching a grown man dressed in orange and blue, testing out children’s merry go rounds and amusement parks (conveniently emptied beforehand so no kids can be harmed), I’m ready to head of to the shed with a noose in my hand.

Oh yes, they’re fucking shylock bastards.

My Lab cross used to need Metacam regularly, got his prescription and started buying it online £60 a bottle cheaper.

The bunch of cunts that make up Hermes.

Their website is a labyrinthine mess, between that and their useless automated customer service I feel like a character in a Kafka novel trying to navigate an impenetrable bureaucracy.

My parcel is well late and appears to exist somewhere in the ether. I try to talk to their useless twat chat bot, who tells me that the tracking number and post code don’t match, despite them definitely matching according to their own records and the emails they’ve sent me. Useless twat chat just closes down the convo at this moment, with no advice on what else I can do to get to the bottom of my query.

So I call the customer service number only to get a different variety of robocunt. This one asks me if my tracking number is only numerical characters or if it contains letters too. Unfortunately for me, mine has a mixture of characters, so robocunt tells me she can’t help and that I need to talk to Holly the twat chat bot again and “she’ll” be able to help me.

I literally have no idea where I’m meant to turn now.

I swear to God I will in future take a close look at who will be delivering my package before doing business with any company, in the hope that one day people will stop giving contracts to these fucking cunts Hermes.

Infuriating doesn’t even begin to cover it, especially as this is not the first time they’ve put me in a similar situation.

Delivery companies in general are absolute fucking cunts these days. Since the pandemic, it’s got so much worse too.

Amazon have got in the habit of buzzing a random flat in my block, getting let in and then dumping all their parcels by the main door. I’ve had people I’ve never met from my building giving my parcel to me about 2 weeks after I’ve ordered it, apologising for “accidentally” picking it up.

Which brings me on to those cunts who know basically straight away that what they’ve picked up isn’t their’s, but hold on to the parcel for fucking ages before giving it to its rightful owner. And of course, the silly cunts have “accidentally” opened it before realising it wasn’t their parcel.

I had a pretty expensive watch delivered to me as a gift, and the day it was delivered it got handed to some randomer in my block. I went mad as the delivery status said “delivered” but my flat never got buzzed and there was nothing by the main entrance. Lo and behold, 3 hours later (whilst I’ve been frantically calling the delivery company and the customer service team of the watch shop), my wife thought she’d go around the block knocking on people’s door to check if they had a parcel that they accidentally picked up. Of course some cunt had my parcel and of course they had opened it up. They’d even ripped the fucking presentation box it came in. And then just carried on their life as though they had no responsibility to give the parcel to the right person. God knows when the fucker would have actually given it back to us (or even if they would have the thieving sly bastard).

Those emails saying “we have delivered your parcel” are hilarious. I remember getting one from Hermes and was like “well would you mind telling me where you delivered it?” Often they take pictures too to apparently “prove” the delivery status, and this picture was just of a driveway, could only see brick, could have been flaming anywhere!

Yeah had one of them delivered texts. Told it had been put in the back. It was broken as tends to happen if you throw something over a high wall onto paving slabs.

If this is happening repeatedly, then how does ‘repeatedly’ come into play? If they fuck up once, okay it might be an error. If they fuck up twice, who’s going to be using them a third time?

Thing is sometimes you don’t get a choice, if you order from Amazon for example it could be Royal Mail could be Hermes could even be dpd sometimes.

Anytime I order from Amazon its Amazon who deliver it themselves haha.

See this hassle isn’t worth it for me.

I’ll always try to get them to deliver to a locker or a partner store so I can go collect it, and the delivery company has no excuses and can easily leave it somewhere.

Slightly less convenient but cheaper and more guarantee of getting the parcel.

Getting a delivery not to your house is a fair way beyond slightly less convenient for me :pires2:

Same here. My garage door opener has the Amazon safe delivery option. So they leave the packages in my garage. It’s nice, I don’t have to worry about porch pirates.
