Newsagents dropping Hermes ??

verybigchris

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what sort of arrangement shops have with MyHermes? I've always wondered whether the shop makes money from it or whether it's just a way to get customers through the door.

The newsagent here stopped a fortnight ago.
He had said for a while that (his words) being an agent for MyHermes was a "bl**dy pain".
I do note though that this loss of collection/dropoff points happened at the same time as MyHermes reorganised their pricing structure.
Which combined would perhaps suggest the company has ........ issues.


Though if -IF - it is part of some underhanded scheme to get people to use the Click & Collect @ Argos scheme it will NOT work with me.
Terrible service IMHO - & that of others too, from reading here.

You what now? An underhand attempy by whom exactly?

My coop says it gets paid per parcel - so I'd guess some of the independents may be spitting tacks.

If the hand scanner is a clue to survival, both independents I use should be fine. The shift to price by size is a bore though as I do a fair bit of over 16 cm deep shipping.
