YODEL, PROVING YET AGAIN THEY ARE THE WORST DELIVERY FIRM IN MY LOCAL AREA, PART 3.

The following was yet another conversation with Yodel chasing yet another missing parcel, although to call it a conversation would have required them to have responded to both of the times I wrote on their “live chat” this evening rather than just cutting me off. I’m thinking that perhaps, rather like Nigel Farage who was de-banked, I have been de-Yodel’d.

Good Evening, Joe. Thank you for contacting Yodel Live Chat, my name is Joshua. How are you doing today?

I have now got another parcel which your driver had delivered to the wrong address this latest missing one is JJD0002247647495414 Your driver has delivered three other parcels to three different addresses, luckily my neighbours bought them round to me but I am getting sick to death of your drivers inability to deliver anything to my house. I still have one missing from two weeks ago, this service is absolutely useless, nothing we have ordered recently that your company has tried to deliver has been delivered to my house and we have been in every day so there is no excuse not to deliver, all the other delivery companies have no problem finding my house, we have massive 10 foot tall black gates with the name clearly in white letters down the left-hand side. Can you please tell me where my parcel has been delivered to and show me a photograph of the door so I can attempt to go and look for it.

There was no response except to offer me the option to fill in their survey as to how well they had done which offered the choice of scoring them on a score of 1 to 5, although personally I thought they had a bloody cheek with this scoring system as I would have thought that with the abysmal service this company is able to offer the score should begin with a minus figure and quite a large one at that.

Altogether, this is now a sum total of five different parcels Yodel have managed to deliver to four different addresses, none of which are mine in the last two weeks and were it not for the good manners of some of my neighbours who came to my house with them I would have received none.

One has to wonder how they still employ the driver on my route, for without a doubt he or she must be doing the same with everyone else’s parcels. It’s a bloody sad reflection on modern life that, this useless individual is the best they can find to employ, or conversely with modern employment law, even with their complete incompetence they are unable to sack them.

About The Diary of a Country Bumpkin

I am a retired actor, although to be honest I only retired because I wasn't getting any work due to losing my agent when I became a full time carer to my mother who had dementia. and the option of becoming an unemployed actor/waiter at my age was ludicrous, especially as my waiting skills are non-existent. Having said I’m retired, I don’t think there really is such a thing as a retired actor for I am still available for work, I just don’t have an agent or any connections with regards to obtaining any worthwhile work. I have over the years done student films when there is nothing else available, always low paid (if at all) the only incentive was always the promised copy of the finished film for your show reel which nine times out of ten always failed to materialise. I spent many years looking after my aged mother and shortly after her death I was lucky enough to run into an ex-girlfriend of many years ago and our romance blossomed once again, resulting in us getting married in 2013. My move to the countryside inspired me to write The Diary of a Country Bumpkin which tells of my continuing dilemmas in dealing with the rigors of the countryside from the unexpectedly large number of pollens, fungal moulds and hay products waiting to attack the unsuspecting townie. I enjoy writing, see my play Dulce Et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori on The Wireless Theatre Company, The Plays Wot I Wrote and The Battle of Barking Creek both available on Amazon.co.uk and am very fond of classic cars so my ideal occupation would be acting in a film I had written set in the 1930s/40s, we live in hopes. I am delighted to say that since venturing to the countryside where space is not quite the premium it is in town, I have due to the availability of two double garages acquired more classic cars to form a small collection the pride of which are a 1947 Bentley Mk VI and a 2000 Bentley Arnage. My various blogs and websites are continually evolving and I’m sure that by following the appropriate links you will find something which will edify or amuse. I have written a number of different books all available on Amazon, so don't be shy should you feel the urge to purchase. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mr-Joe-Wells/e/B06XKWFQHT/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1
