Whoever commissions this shite should get sacked. I always think there's a lot of witty people on here (including yourself Granny) who could hack together a decent script for a comedy programme about Scottish football. Maybe we should start sending in scripts to BBC Scotland.

This is all about people protecting their friends regardless of how outdated and unfunny the scripts and acting are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboMikey Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Hermes are picking up a box from my gaffe today. They're coming between 8am-8pm. Cheers lads. Guaranteed I'll be doing a shite when the boy rocks up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Hermes are the absolute worst of the courier companies. Depends totally on your local driver. The pay and conditions are shite so they will take anyone without checking references and if they're any good they'll likely jack it in after a fortnight. Only way to make it pay is to drive without proper insurance and stopping and starting every few yards fucks your car. Haven't had any problems in my area, service has probably improved since I packed it in after a short stint. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regularly get online updates saying they tried to deliver when I've been in all day. I also have a cctv camera which shows if anyone has been to the door. Another favourite is "can't find your address". Over Christmas another one entered the fold. We were getting "your parcel has been delivered" updates along with a "proof of delivery" signature that consisted of two straight lines. My wife spent a couple of hours on the phone to Debenhams as she thought a load of Christmas presents had been delivered to the wrong address or stolen. Debenhams response was "we've got proof of delivery from Hermes" and wouldn't budge. The parcel turned up the next day. I had the same thing and it turned up 3 hours later. The driver is obviously signing for parcels himself to hit delivery targets or something. If I see that a company uses them for delivery, I'll go elsewhere for something as they're so bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The system didn't allow you to say you'd deliver the next day on a Sunday, you have the choice of nobody in or delivered, so had to pretend I'd delivered so I could sign off. Normally if you have some problem delivering you have to return the next day for no pay, so I doubt the drivers are doing it deliberately. I totally understand you avoiding them though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 They pay their drivers like 80p a signed delivery, then don't give them a PDA to get the delivery signed for. They sound fucking awful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Had a sleepless night with the thought of coming back to work after 2 weeks off ringing through my head but it’s been a surprisingly pleasant day with everyone in a fine mood, might take this to RTBC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was maybe getting an enhanced rate due to the time of year, or they were just lying and that's why he was never given a PDA. He had to plan his own routes too due to it. 4 minutes ago, KnightswoodBear said: They feed beefburgers to swans. Might apply. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
