Deliveries
Going out to Tesco this morning I found a screwed op bit of paper
outside our gates, it was a note from a delivery firm called HERMES, it had been chewed by slugs or snails and had had a few doses of rain on it. I managed to decipher something like "vulcr ucim" which I worked out to mean "Under Van". Well our gate was open and there was nothing under the van, so I assume that someone had had helped themselves, as anything under the van would be in full view of the road. I managed to find Hermes on google and found a phone number for them. "Yes you did have a delivery", "You'll have to take it up with the firm you bought from", "We have a contract with them", "No we can't contact the driver, we have a contract with the firm you bought from" "You'll have to talk to them". Ans so on This is not the first time I have had things delivered by them and everytime the same thing, just dumped and a card left in or by the gates. One time the actualy left a parcel at the side of the gate. They are cheep and their service is atrocious, as long as you have a car or van and a garage or somewhere to store deliveries you can work for them. I now won't deal with 2 firms that use them, and now there is a 3rd to go on the blocked list. David Hill Abacus Nurseries |
