Winds me right up. Also this. I'll pull into the car park of a supermarket as an example and I always park where there are lots of empty bays at either side of me. Anyway, I've parked up and turned the engine off and started to fumble around for money and bits and bobs.Then about 10 seconds before I plan to open my car door some bonehead will swing his / her car right into the bay next to my drivers door so I can hardly get out.

They've lost one parcel, won't attempt to redeliver a second until I get the person who sent it (ebay seller) to tell them to. Useless. Old post so sorry to quote you but this happened to my housemate. MyHermes were supposed to deliver a paint set to him. Nobody was in when they came, so they put an attempted delivery note through the door. It didn't say to collect from someone or that it was with a neighbour. The 'other' box was ticked with a little note saying "delivered over back gate". Not "left at the back gate". "OVER back gate". The back gate was locked, so best guess, he went round, and threw it over quite a high back gate. Anyway, we found it battered and upside down in the back garden and when we opened it up, the paint had exploded everywhere. Neither MyHermes nor the people he ordered it from were willing to give him any kind of replacement or refund. Apparently the sellers relinquish responsibility by handing it over to MyHermes. If the parcel is damaged, it's their responsibility to refund or pay for a replacement. MyHermes have the policy that if you don't give them adequate alternate delivery instructions for if you're not in, then it is not their fault if the alternative delivery method results in damage or loss.

I just dont get delivery companies, even if they can be bothered to tell you what day its often between say 7am and 9pm. They say they cant give you a time which surely is a load of rubbish, i recently had a delivery from currys, i didnt order it until about 6pm but was given free next day delivery. The following morning i received a text advising me my that within a 1 hour window what time my delivery would be with an option to state leave with neighbour/re-arrange etc...it turned up when they said, if they can do it why cant these others? Surely not telling people and just turning up is just totally inefficent and leads to more deliveries, although i suspect drivers are often on some sort of commission and thats why they hump it over fences etc, hermes did this to me not long ago even when i was in, i didnt even get a knock at the door just a card through saying it had been left in the wheely bin.

Wolfie Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 DIY generally. We had a new living room carpet fitted last week, with a deeper pile than the previous one. It took me all of Sunday morning to take a door off, go to Homebase to buy a plane, plane a bit off the bottom and fit it back on again. I've now realised I didn't take enough off and need to do it again. I hate DIY. Mostyn6 and kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've now realised I didn't take enough off and need to do it again. I hate DIY. Ditto. Was tidying up the cupboard under our stairs and decided to rehang one of those plastic containers for plastic bags. Got my little cordless drill out to make holes for the screws, went through the 50 year old plaster like butter, then hit 50 granite-like brick!!! Couldn't even get it an inch deep so simply used a shed load of screws and gave up, well aware it'll get ripped off the wall within 2 months, bringing the majority of the plaster with it... I find it astonishing my Dad made a career out of building, no wonder he was always uptight... kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 I now avoid doing DIY stuff except for painting & decorating if I can help it..... A few months ago, I spent a whole morning battling with an electric socket I was trying to replace - due to it being cracked. After going to B&Q to buy a new socket and then going back to exchange it after I found out that the existing double socket had a single back box, I worked out that there were too many wires in the wall and the power had been extended into the next room via this socket and a spur. Mrs Wolfie had to take the little one out, as I was "swearing too much" and I eventually admitted defeat and called a local electrician we'd used once before. He came an hour or so later and had it sorted within 20 minutes. Until that point I hadn't even asked him how much it would cost and when he'd finished and told me it would be £20, I just stood there and looked at him. He eventually asked me if I was OK and I said I was just trying to work out why I had spent a quarter of my weekend....which should be quality family time...getting increasingly stressed, elevating my blood pressure to unprecendent levels (even for me), not to mention alienating my wife and daughter - in an effort to save twenty quid.
