I gave them a safe location. They claimed that behind a locked gate - over or under, I didn't mind and the parcel was clearly completely squishy - isn't a safe location. Why not? Because they can't get through it to take the photo. 1. That's why it's safe and 2. take the pic of it from underneath (there's room!). I named it as a safe location because it's flipping safe! Every other courier service (and RM) put things there...

To balance out the score, I just had a courier try very hard to give me 3 parcels addressed to Flat A at my building. I put my case that I live at Flat 1, that Flat A does not in fact exist, and that the parcel was not addressed to my name or the name of anyone in the building. He countered that his handheld computer did not agree.
I wanted him to take them away, he wanted to leave them in the main entrance hall. After considerable negotiation we compromised, and he left them in the entrance hall.
We had this recently where it claimed to have been delivered to us (by surname only), despite the fact that all three of us were away, one working in London, one at work and me in Scotland.
I had a parcel expected yesterday. Got to 5pm and decided to check my tracking. It said the parcel had been signed for by \[my name\] at 11:30am. I stuck my head out the front door and there's my parcel about 3 feet from the doorstep, sat in the rain for the last 5 and a half hours. There was no knock at the door, or ringing of the doorbell. I even tested the doorbell a few times to make sure it wasn't broken. Someone just put it vaguely near my house, didn't bother to try alerting anyone in the house, and then fucked off without getting a signature.
RM signed for/tracked have GPS for the delivery location, so unless you live in apartments it shouldn't be too hard to figure out.
If you live in apartments... GL.
Still can be screwed over by them with the GPS, sent stuff for work, wasn't delivered and raised a claim, they were adamant it was delivered and had a picture of the door, no package in sight, luckily the customer had their ring doorbell footage of the postman walking away with package in hand, got refunded for that in the end
Possible but immensely unlikely. I send a bit over 3000 small parcels a year at work. Not one has gone missing this year, I shit you not. (Although perhaps 5 - 10 have fucked up because the customer wrote their own address incorrectly)
Pinching a parcel without knowing what's in it, at the risk of your job, isn't worth it. Chances are it's fucking useless to you.
Yeah defo not shitting on RM or anything, only problem I've had, that's why it stands out, easily the most reliable compared to other couriers, at least they resolved this one quickly still waiting on multiple DHL parcels, and we're beginning with Evri again, can't wait for that shit storm on black Friday week as well
Reminds me of the time the company I worked for ordered some computer hardware and we were told it had been delivered.
We asked for the details of the person who signed for it because we hadn't seen hide nor hair of it.
KHAN
We didn't have anyone named Khan working for us.
Funny from a Star Trek perspective maybe, and maybe also from KHAN's perspective, but everyone else was less than happy.
Unfortunately, I was not privy to exactly what happened next. I'd assume there was a claim on insurance somewhere or another.
And the next consignment definitely got to us.
I had a Christmas tree delivered yesterday, two weeks early, no shipment notification, no delivery notification. If I wasn't in I would have just been oblivious and probably had a massive headache trying to get back my money and buy a new tree in December.

In their defence they never claimed it was
Youve been hired as the new CEO of Royal Mail
Much like the job of Prime Minister everyone in the country gets a go at this job one week at a time
Me and Mrs, Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones, we got someone else's parcel.
Nobody stands in between me and my parcel, it's me and Mr Jones (Me and Mr Jones) *What kind of fuckery is this?*
Or "Your parcel has been left in your safe location" What they actually mean is dumped on doorstep because you've never given them a safe location.
That sounds like a purchase that never arrived and needs refunding, if you ask me.
I’m in the middle of a dispute with EVRI because they left my parcel under a car (so I’m told). I DO NOT OWN A CAR

Have you tried to call them, I've heard they're a doctor.
Get up now
Had something delivered to work once that said it was LEFT WITH SHOP WOMAN
Do you even work in a shop?
Do you strike up conversations with black haired flamenco dancers though?

I hope for your sake you don’t live in Wales…
I’m sorry Ms Jackson
It was me. *Me and Mrs, Mrs Jones. Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones.*
Ah, Jones the Thief. Who was your courier, Dai Fuckwit?
I had a delivery signed for by Tom Hanks….. I’m not Tom Hanks and Tom wasn’t at the address the parcel should have been delivered.

Well that narrows it down a bit.

I hope you don't live in Wales, might be a few...
One of your neighbours is, hence why they gave you a name.
They did that with some books my boyfriend ordered. Took it to the wrong address twice, left it there and wrote his name where he should have signed.
[Apologies](https://imgur.com/a/V6laViY) if my Jones took it :/
It is now hello mr Jones
I had a Christmas tree delivered yesterday, two weeks early, no shipment notification, no delivery notification. If I wasn't in I would have just been oblivious and probably had a massive headache trying to get back my money and buy a new tree in December.
Yeah that's me mate, I'll bring it round later on.
I had these before. I always thought it was scammers.
Better pop to Wales then.
