I am loving this! Marvellous work yourguitarhero, marvellous. 😀
[i] delivered within 5 working days.[/i]
Have you got the tracking info for this?? Cheeky bastards - all those delays, then they still give themselves 5 days to deliver!!
Am i the only one thinking this is going to end with [s]"you broke or terms of service, we have your soul, now you must work for us until we see fit to discharge you"[/s] "congratulations, you discovered and passed the my Hermes interview process"
I think this is all one of those covert MI6 employment tests. If you can decipher the inner workings of MyHermes, and actually get a resolution, then geopolitics of states on the edge of civil war should be a piece of piss.
I like that it's goodwill to refund the postage cost, how can it be goodwill when they failed to deliver the service you paid for, that's a refund you are fully entitled to.
Sounds like a very dodgy driver, I wonder how much they are losing through his route?
I will ask the parcel to be returned to sender.
Nice touch
This is one of my all time favourite threads
*looking forward* to putting in a complaint after all this reaches its resolution (though, that may never happen in this geological epoch)
This is the best advent calendar ever! 😆
I like the idea of us sending parcels to your (full of expensive things..).
Also, did you not get a funny look from the staff at the shop you dropped the parcel at? Surely they would have seen the address is (probably) a 5 minute walk away..
I think the delivery driver knows you personally, been playing away by any chance? 😉
My Henning Kjaernulf teak coffee table is now officially lost and probably being burnt on the bonfire in some chav's backgarden 😐
i didn’t expect it to turn up, after all if your last drop of the day involved the M25 and south circular at about 5pm and it’s your van/diesel it’s not surprising they couldn’t be arsed to deliver it.
Been following this one since the beginning. Did a few Google searches on myHermes to see if this thread was showing up on the front page. Alas it wasn't. I did find this link on the Guardian which was an interesting read about being a myHermes courier.
Still no update to the tracking. Disappointing.
Can't help but think that the OP's actions could have triggered the beginning of the end.
no mention of the money you can make by stealing the parcels though.
so many incidences of “your parcel has been delivered” but they have never even been to the property, what do you think happens to those parcels?
I bought a Burgtec stem recently (from STW actually) and after not receiving it for 2 weeks I contacted the seller. He check MH tracking and it had said that it was lost, so seller starts the claim route. Low and behold a few days later my stem arrives repackaged in a MH bag. I wonder if they chased the driver and he came clean..
Ooh tracking has updated this morning. Exciting.

I'd like to take this opportunity to option the movie rights for this thread.
How have they not noticed that the delivery address and the return to sender address are the same?
i have just filled in a ‘denial of receipt’ form for the sender of my stolen parcel, you have given me a glimmer of hope 😕
OP - I'm liking your persistence....
and
I will ask the parcel to be returned to sender.
This is getting even more interesting.....I reckon when this eventually concludes you could 'sell the story' and make some money !
Maybe, but what if he posted off the screenplay with Hermes?
Insure it for the value of the potential royalties, assuming it's the next summer blockbuster.
My Hermes delivery driver has graduated from slinging parcels over my fence to putting them in my black rubbish bin.
I'm not sure if this is progress or not.
I was due a delivery yesterday.
Despite someone being in all day, they’re sorry they missed me. Not sorry enough to leave a card it would seem.
Chances on it arriving today......
This thread is ace. Waiting with bated breath. I've sent and received with my hermes in the past but will think twice next time.
Chances on it arriving today......

What do I win? 😆
SUPER EXCITED!!!!

A friend just reported receiving a "you have a parcel" card from MyHermes with absolutely no information on it. Just a blank card... also in the Edinburgh area.
Had an Amazon delivery at 7pm on Sunday evening, and another right now. Even where there is no parking outside the house at this time.

Got excited that it was my Hermes guy

Meanwhile at the other end of the M8 it seems that any parcel with an '8' in the addresses and 'Bishopbriggs' is getting left in my Alzheimer-suffering mums back garden regardless of with the intended recipient in the next street or over a mile away.
Thanks Yodel
Myhermes are now deleting things from the tracking record.
Apparently I’m due to receive my parcel today......
Yes, my complaint history was "revised" so that the item was delivered* and the complaint "resolved"
*didn't mention it was delivered back to the sender
Anyway, been up since 4 waiting for my parcel. It's like waiting for Santa when you're wee
Found 2 empty Amazon boxes dumped in Hampshire for 2 addresses in Wiltshire - sent Amazon an email where I provided details / tracking numbers.....
Their email reply was "sorry your delivery was received in poor condition" FFS
The suspense of this thread is excruciating!
FWIW, I received a parcel via DPD on Monday and that’s still showing as out for delivery.
There must be a lot of middle managers in the courier business swearing a lot at this time of year!
We need to think bigger. Any volunteers?

I was fairly pleased with my recent DPD delivery - ordered 2 items from the same shop at the same time - one (a jersey) was delivered to a neighbour, the other (tyre) was taken back for return the next day. Odd! Anyway, I went on the DPD website and said to leave the tyre by the front door. They did and emailed me a photo of it sat by the front door. Sweet.
Great idea OP, I kinda knew were this might go as MH are fine until it goes wrong and then they lie and lie and lie. They really don't give a toss, I'm am convinced their business plan allows for X% failures and therefore why spend time and money trying to resolve built in failure. Concentrate on getting the other 95 or 96% there roughly on time and in one piece.
I'm sure if I ran a huge business pumping >£500k or more business through MH I might get a better level of service but for mere Joe Public its a pure lottery as to whether it will arrive.
My latest brush with them had them claiming the parcel was still out for delivery --- see your tracking info they say ---- when the parcel was right next to me having been returned to me earlier without any prior notice.
When I would not back off they conceded it had been returned because they had made 3 attempts to deliver and couldn't. I had the the guy buying the stuff conferenced in to the call. I asked when had they tried, big silence then they came up with one random date, why no card lefts, more silence. I pushed on and then some genius said they could not deliver the parcel for security reasons 😕
What security reasons we both wondered, I'm sorry we cannot discuss security with you ---- catch 22 ----. They then sent me a message saying how pleased they were to have resolved my problem 🙄
They are without doubt the least trustworthy business I have dealt with in many years, I understand Yodel run them close but honestly avoid them like the plague unless you have a defined regular route that works and then hope and pray the drivers don't change.
[i]They then sent me a message saying how pleased they were to have resolved my problem[/i]
😆 Brilliant.
I've got myself a rogue one too 🙂
I've sent over 200 parcels with hermes and had one damaged parcel in that time and one go awol.
However I dropped off a parcel at a shop in Yorkshire on Sunday and tracking hasn't moved from 'dropped at parcel shop'.
07/12/2017 10:58 Delivery will be attempted between 11:00 and 15:00 today
Ohhh exciting times...
Attempted. Doesn't mean they will actually attempt it at logie view though bruneep
Literally the last thing I did before opening this thread was book a MH collection for tomorrow. I'm kinda wishing I'd ticked the insurance option now...
In other news... this has got to be a late contender for Thread of the Year!
Too right! There goes my afternoon smashing the F5 keyOhhh exciting times...
I got the notification of the 11:00 to 15:00 delivery slot at 12:38.
Just home at 13:30 and no parcel yet, or card.
This is exactly what I needed after a minging uni exam this morning!!!!

Noooo!
I realise I mistyped in my previous one - it was 13:30 when I wrote the message.
I got home at 1- cos I'd cooked my lunch, tidied up and sat down on the computer before typing that post.
So.... no danger they tried to deliver at 13:25
It’s essentially a perpetual motion machine. The parcel will forever be in transit.
Do you think this will be like last time? One fake delivery attempt then many "delays, please wait 24 hours" and nothing for a week until I message them????????????????????????

Like a buttered cat?
These two lines in the tracking seem so ominous now:
18/11/2017 18:58 Entered the Hermes network
18/11/2017 18:57 Entered the Hermes network
If I win a prize for thread of the year.... please post by Hermes!
I wonder...
if you reinvested the insurance to put a new empty box into the Hermes network for every 'attempted delivery'
...am I right in saying that assuming 6 attempted deliveries of each parcel per month. Would there be 2.2. billion(6^12) parcels in the network after a year?
I'm wondering if the OP is the driver.....
[quote=deepreddave ]I'm wondering if the OP is the driver....
That would explain why he's never in when he tries to deliver it.

It's Fight Club all over again.
The first rule of delivery club....never leave a card.
^^^ it's all making sense. Finally.
Well seems UPS aren't so great. I was able to go online to change my delivery date to be next Monday, yesterday they didn't try to deliver stating this as the reason but then they tried today and say they'll try tomorrow. Hopefully they'll also try on Monday.

My head just exploded like that Scanners movie
Guys.... should i post another one?
Yes but get them to pick it up.
Post two things. One small box, one big box. We need data granularity.
Durr. Of course!
Yes but get them to pick it up.
this, very much this
Guys.... should i post another one?
Yes. But this time put a GPS tracker in there.
Or even a better a cheap Nokia phone...the one with a week plus of battery. After a week ring it and maybe someone will open the package and answer. Then you can give 'em the good 'ol Liam Neeson.
This reinvestment of compo scheme definitely has legs. It could turn into a crypto currency, maybe called Shitcoin?
Do it and if I could give you the credits they said they would give me for screwing up I would be delighted to pay for the collection --- A collection addressed to yourself would be the ultimate spoof ---- please please do it 🙂

I just don't think it'll deliver on the investment.
Yep. Returns will be poor.
I suggest the OP gives out his address and we all send him a package.
Good idea but the joke is that he lives on the moon, or alternatively in a box in Hermes' returns dept.
I wish I had seen this thread before I sent my nephew and niece (who live in central Edinburgh) their Christmas presents, by MyHermes... 🙂
Can I join the 'wait and see' brigade?
^ uh oh
Will book a collection and drop one off at parcelstore
Will write delivery and return to addresses on them
If they arrive but not yours, we'll at least confirm just how much your driver detests you.
They have to be stealing them! being that incompetent would be too much effort! The only guarantee is they will lie about it!
