Re: Avoid this Couriers......

A common method used by debt collection agencies is to send/leave you a card to say they have something they need to deliver or you weren't in. By ringing them back they confirm that you do actually live in the house they sent the card to.

If you are expecting a delivery of goods then the best way is to check with the peple who sent the goods which method they have used.

A complaint with the franchise company itself would seem to be in order then.

We have done that thanx and they were very apologetic even though it was`nt their fault.......

Name and shame the courier.
If you paid for the delivery of the the items the contract is between you and the courier. I use DHL and UPS and have no trouble.
I get goods from China in two or three days...tracked all the way.
This sounds to me like a scam.
You say this company name has been removed...PM me and I will do a company search.

Wel what a load of crap that is!!

It clearly says on their card that you can ring up to arrange re-delivery, nothing about it will automatically be sent out again the day after

We haven't had chance yet with the fella not getting in til after 6pm

Will let ya know what they try and fob us off with

Re: Avoid this Couriers......

Certainly seems a bit over the top

Hopefully the company that used them to deliver the item will never use them again

Re: Avoid this Couriers......

This could be part of a serious scam. There were a few cases that I heard of where people were getting cards supposedly from a courier but there was no parcel at all. They had to phone a number on the card to arrange for delivery. The company would never tell them who the package or parcel was from but when they got their phone bill there was an astronomical amount for the phone call. The 'company' was making money from the phone calls.

I don't know what the name of the company was but was your one a well known reputable company or some cowboy firm you've never heard of? If the latter then it could be a similar scam.
