    Well I am unimpressed with Hermes as apparently somebody signed for my parcel at 4.59 today. There was nobody home then as I was at work. So now I do not know where the parcel is as no card was left. I now have to contact the retailer apparently as I cannot ask them what they have done with it.

    I had the same (again) last week it was actually dumped on doorstep the day after it was "delivered". I just have to avoid any seller using them on ebay.
    Why can't you ask them?

    You can phone, email or even better tweet them you will have a reply in under an hour on business days, slightly more at weekends, but a reply nonetheless.

    Its not up to a buyer to waste time chasing a courier the seller decides to use, its up to seller to chase it. I would never expect a buyer of mine to chase up couriers:eek:

    takes as long to post on this forum as to tweet.
    So what is to lose?

    Twitter is always best. Usually get a reply straight away.

    I have tweeted to two large companies in t e past month and neither replied.

    Strangely, I got home today to card from Hermes saying they had missed me but this was their 2nd try to deliver. I imagine this is the same parcel so goodness why they told me it had been delivered and signed for. Hopefully it will return tomorrow and I will be in. Thanks for advice - haven't yet heard from the actual retailer although I have emailed them.

    We've been using them for a couple of years now, only had a problem with 1 parcel but we got our money back and compensation. Our parcel guy is lovely and they save us a ton of money. I always recommend them!

    I've only had one issue, with a broken plate. This is quite a few years ago. I took pictures straight away to send to the seller, and they refunded me very quickly. I guess they took that up with myhermes.

    If anything. I would say Yodel are the worst.
    Always open a case if your unhappy with a transaction :money:

    Well parcel has just been delivered. The courier absolutely denied that it could have been showing as signed for on Wednesday :) I would rather she had just been honest if they had pulled a fast one.

    Just had my first problem with myhermes after sending 50+ parcels one has got lost. They have opened a case number and are investigating it. I will continue to use them however.
