Received this dreaded email after ordering something the other day.

I'm not getting my parcel, am I?

It’s not a notification… it’s a ransom note

Back before they were Hermes, I had a similar notification for something I ordered and never received it. The app was forever stuck in "We've got your parcel". Never did find a way to contact them to ask where the hell it was!

They weren't trying to deliver it.

You were being taunted.

The "nah nah ne nah nah" is implied.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 4 months ago

It's definitely a threat.

In france they got Colis Privé (private parcel), infamously called Privé de Colis (no parcel for u) and they have spent some effort to up their ranking from 1.2 to 2.3 !!

Guess who's waiting for one ...

That's genuinly impressive to have a score that low. How do other couriers fair?

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I checked out the one I always use when I can, and it is a bit crazy even if they are at 4.0

Guess people only go write studf if they are unhappy I guess lol, and companies buys the 5stars? Still Colis Privé had like 4 times more complaints.

Please be an April Fools joke from literally any other courier

The monkey's paw curls, it's Yodel.

I ordered some computer parts online and one of the things they actually had on their website was "We don't use Evri".

That logo alone looks like a phishing email.

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 6 points 4 months ago

I'd put more trust in a phishing scam to accidentally deliver my shit than Evri to attempt to deliver it.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 4 months ago

The thing is somebody actually paid for that logo. Tells you everything you need to know about their management skills

Remember how they were called Hermes and changed their name to try and fixed their reputation to absolutely no effect?
