Never again. Paid for door to door delivery from London to Lyon, France. Parcel was never delivered, The plastic container I sent my parcel in was destroyed. My friend had to pick up the parcel from the delivery depot. They claim they made several attempts to deliver and recipient wasn't at the address. It's their word against yours so you can't prove it. They also reject to pay for the damages.

3:28 PMBrian
The tracking information does not state this, it advises that multiple attempt of deliveries were made
3:28 PMBrian
Could you possibly confirm the delivery address for me please?
3:29 PMhayk
5 Rue des Marguerites
Bourg-en-Bresse
01000
3:30 PMBrian
Yes this is the exact same address that we have
3:31 PMhayk
he was at the address and says nobody showed up.
3:31 PMhayk
Also what about the wheeled plastic container?
3:33 PMBrian
Did that disappear ?
3:35 PMhayk
first delivery didn't take place because your french partners said that the box was damaged
3:37 PMhayk
so when they were holding it in their depot website was suggesting it being delivered but there is no one at the address so on and so forth
3:37 PMBrian
Yes
3:37 PMhayk
In the end items were removed from the damaged plastic container and placed inside a cardboard box
3:37 PMhayk
waiting in the depot
3:38 PMhayk
and today my friend drove 30 miles to collect them
3:39 PMBrian
I am very sorry to hear this, however as your friend missed several attempt of deliveries (it is very unlikely that the courier will hold the parcel without any attempts) there is nothing we could offer you in this occasion
3:39 PMhayk
?
3:40 PMBrian
?
3:40 PMhayk
wheeled plastic container?
3:41 PMhayk
damaged on the way under your responsibility
3:41 PMBrian
Was the parcel itself damage ? Do you have pictures of the damage ?
3:42 PMhayk
I have a picture of the parcel inside a cardboard box. There is no wheeled plastic container
3:43 PMBrian
I can send you the claim advise for damage however I am unsure how this process will go
3:43 PMhayk
what is a claim advise?
3:44 PMBrian
A process that will explain to you how you can claim for damages
3:46 PMhayk
I explained you already. I sent the goods in a wheeled plastic container and it was destroyed under your responsibilty and
3:46 PMhayk
I received the goods inside a cardboard box instead
3:47 PMBrian
If you do not have any pictures showing this, there is nothing we could do
3:47 PMBrian
Is the fact that the parcel arrived in a carborad instead of a wheeled plastic container affected delivery ?
3:47 PMBrian
Or the items inside ?
3:49 PMhayk
if you fly somewhere with your suitcase and when you land they return your goods inside a rubbish bag what would you do?
3:49 PMhayk
you still have your belongings
3:50 PMhayk
but in a rubbish bag
3:50 PMBrian
I am unsure that a suitcase and a wheeled plastic container can be compared, but if I sent my parcel in a wheeld plastic container and received my item intact in a bag, I would personally not raise a complaint
3:50 PMBrian
This is me though
3:51 PMBrian
However if it is an inconvenience for you
3:51 PMBrian
As stated we would only be able to help you if you could provide pictures of the original packaging
3:53 PMhayk
Do you mind if I share this conversation on social media please?
Brian is typing
3:54 PMBrian
No I do not mind at all Hayk
