Number6 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Lol.....feels like that sometime although to be fair my local delivery people tend to be pretty good. We seem to have the same people making the deliveries in the area so i imagine that improves how they look after the load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4stringslow Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Such abuse doesn't really matter to the customer directly. We ordered a full-length mirror from Amazon a couple of weeks ago. Despite being well-packed, when opened it was cracked. We emailed Amazon with a photo and they said don't worry they'd send a replacement and we could keep the cracked one. The new one duly arrived and when opened (you've guessed it) it was also cracked. Another email to amazon and they offered to send a replacement or a refund and again we could keep the cracked one. We opted for a refund this time as we now had two full length mirrors that were basically functional and we had only ordered it as we were hosting our niece's wedding and needed more mirrors for the bridesmaids dressing room. Online Suppliers are effectively forced to give good service in order to maintain customer confidence, without which their entire business model would collapse. This recent experience has not put me off online shopping one little bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Received two parcels this morning (many thanks Tredders & Paul S!) & there were, as usual, no problems whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I went into my local depot to collect something recently, and saw them literally chucking parcels out of the back of a truck. Disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowieBass Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I've had six basses delivered by courier (including Parcelfarce), four in stout cardboard boxes, one in an old hard case and one swaddled only in bubble wrap! None of them had suffered any damage at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
