Christmas 2019 - AVOID Incompetent Delivery Firms ("dpd", "APC" & "Yodel")

Описание: Over the last few weeks we got some deliveries.
Firstly, a Desk was delivered by "dpd" (02.12.2019) with deep gouges on the packaging held together by "dpd Swap it" tape. We didn't need to see much to realise that the contents were damaged beyond use. (+ 12 Photos).
According to the Driver, he claims that he may have taken the corners a bit fast & that everything had been put back inside the box. He told us to accept it & arrange return if there was any problem. The desk is still sat in the Kitchen awaiting return, which we have to pay in advance & claim back.
"Amazon" were not a great help with returning the package.
The Black Duct tape is necessary for return.

All the same, Amazon sent a replacement desk (07.12.2019?) through the same delivery firm "dpd", which is still sat in the box, at least for a bit longer. The end of this box is held together with "dpd Swap it" tape too, but at this stage we don't think the contents are damaged? (+ 4 Photos).

Then...
Last week, we took delivery of some Wallpaper off delivery firm "APC". The contents are ok, but just look at the state of the packaging when it got here. This one had apparently "Fallen over in the van".

Also...
A while back, at our previous address, we took delivery of an item off "Yodel". We were at home all day, but a card was stuck through the letterbox stating that the package had been left inside the Wheelie Bin. This was reported but ignored.

If you are taking a delivery from any of these firms. Make sure that you check the contents on arrival & MAKE THEM WAIT, while you do it.

I'm not a Christmas person, but for those of you who are, Merry Christmas :)
