Evri time – now I’ve had enough

This week, a toilet paper delivery from Who Gives a Crap went awry.

Evri sent me a message to say my latest delivery (a not-small box of toilet rolls) had been delivered. It hadn’t. 5 minutes later, my doorbell rings and it’s Evri, who hand over a very tatty box – damaged in various places, including one who edge totally split. However, the toilet roll inside was fine.

The delivery was every more odd – they provided me with a confirmation photo of the delivery, which was a very blurry image of someone else at a totally different house taking delivery of it.

This is what, apparently, happened 5 minutes previous to it arriving. I guessed the driver got the wrong house before realising his mistake.

Anyway, here’s the condition that the box turned up in…

And this is the latest in a line of issues with Evri, including Christmas presents that went missing. As a result I’ve had enough – I’m not going to use retailers now who use Evri.

Full marks to Who Gives a Crap when I messaged them about this – they’ve switched my delivery to DPD in future (although everyone else is still Evri) and, although I don’t need anything replacing, as way of apology, they’ve added £5 to my account (which will come off my next order).

More people really need to vote with their feet.

    That delivered photo story made me laugh (in sympathy, not amusement) — I had almost exactly the same thing last month. Tracking said delivered, the photo showed a doorstep that definitely wasn’t mine, then the parcel turned up about an hour later in a box that looked like it had been kicked around the depot.

    Mine dragged over a weekend too, which is where I got stuck. It was showing as out for delivery on the Saturday, nothing turned up, and I had no idea whether to stay in on the Sunday or just give up and go out. I spent Saturday evening Googling it and ended up on https://evritrackng.co.uk/do-evri-deliver-on-sunday/ which at least explained that they do deliver on a Sunday in some areas — sure enough, mine finally appeared on the Sunday lunchtime, which was a relief, although the box was dented in one corner.

    I agree about voting with your feet though. Like you, the retailers who give a choice at checkout are getting my orders now, and the ones who don’t are a last resort. Good on Who Gives a Crap for actually switching you to DPD and adding the £5 — most companies I’ve complained to just send a copy-and-paste apology.
