UPS - courier company from hell
Ive a friend in the US who posted me items. They were a gift so no customs charges. Cleared UPS Stansted and now stuck in UPS Castle Donington. The useless UPS tracking appeared to show they were back in some sort of customs hold! Rang their hideously incompetent customer services and was told three different "updates".…

Evri using children to deliver parcels
On several occasions I've had Evri deliveries which have been made by a child. They simply drop the package on the doorstep, in full view from the street (without ringing the doorbell or knocking), record the delivery on their phone/device, then walk away.
