  • HDNL is worse than any other courier I have experienced. Despite having received some parcels on time, the rate of failure of others just turns it into an endeavour to be avoided at all costs.

    - No delivery on a Saturday.
    - Parcels are just left in front of the door, in the open at times.
    - Delivery dates are changed but no one turnes up. Even worse, their website claimes that the parcel has been returned to the depot.
    - Their reply to why the parcel has not been delievered is that apparently no one could receive the parcel. This is blatantly not true :eek:.

    Do not use this service!

    HDNL = Horror Delivery Network

    Yes, always. You have a contract with the seller. It s up to them to deal with the courier.
  • Wow. I'm really surprised reading this thread. I had no idea they had a bad reputation. My HDNL driver is fantastic! I've never had a parcel which is "out for delivery" on a specific day not turn up, he's friendly but not OTT or weird, will put heavy parcels inside the door for me so I dont have to left them at all (useful as I'm pregnant)
    I get probably 3 deliveries a week delivered by that driver and have never had any concerns.
    Sorry to hear that its not the cas for the rest of you & fingers crossed my driver doesnt change!
  • It has been four weeks without my goods being delivered :T and Amazon have promised to replace them FOC.:j HDNL said they left them on my doorstep.............. Hmmm!:money:I have good reason to be angry. :mad:

    It amazes me how many people moan about the service they receive from delivery companies. When you placed an order with whoever surely you must realise (if you are in f/t employment like most of us) that there is a strong possibility that you won't be home when the delivery is attempted! So do yourself a favour and get it delivered to work or a relative.If thats not possible leave a note on the door ' Parcel Delivery - If out leave with neighbour at.... ' Hardly rocket science is it?

    regardless
    a delivery company should have a system in place to relatively easily collect/arrange redelivery of your item
