“Try to Send a food items to a vulnerable someone during the lockdown through Hermes But Hermes charged me the postage and never came to collect the parcel, I contacted them lots of times but update I have not received my refund and they never collect the parcel. Never use them again ever”
“I had a problem with a parcel being sent by Sports Direct. The Hermes staff in Tyneside did so much to try and resolve my problem. Thanks Sam, Kevin and Angus.”
“Russell at Bridgewater depot you are an absolute star. My parcel was due to be returned to sender due to closure of Argos during Covid 19
Russell retrieved this parcel and had it delivered to my home address the same day. This was a fantastic gesture as the parcel contained a medical nebuliser I'll never forget you kindness and belief in Hermes courier service”
“I have just had a laptop and a mobile phone sold on ebay STOLEN by Hermes. They were never delivered!! Avoid and report them to the watchdog and police!”
“parcel due to be delivered to me on Feb 28 th or March 1st tracked as in in "local depot" on Feb 28th and disappeared.
They have NO interest in remedial action if they lose a parcel - it is up to the sender to make a claim.
This happened well before COVID 19 had any significant impact on courier services so not an excuse.
They exist solely because they are cheap.
DHL etc are more expensive not because they make more profits but because they have an effective and professional end to end logistic system . That costs money and that is what one is paying for: extremely high probability of delivery fulfillment
IF you want to make sure that your parcel actually gets DELIVERED then use almost any other courier e.g. Royal Mail, Parcel Force, DPD, DHL etc”
“Useless. Impossible to contact them. I can safely say that in future when I shop online in the future I will avoid any and all companies who want to use them.”
“Useless setup. Non-existent customer service. I simply will not deal with any company who uses Hermes. In the questions below you ask how did I communicate with them. Answer is I could not.”
“Tracking a parcel with this company is fine to start with, then we're told on their tracking service,(such as it is) there's a 24hr delay.
Three weeks later, and several attempts to contact them to no avail, and still
saying on their tracking sevice there's a 24hr delay, it makes me think there
maybe some sort of lucky dip going on somewhere! You'd think this company
was being run by some sort of mafia!
Set up a company make it so, as it's nigh on impossible to contact, then do whatever you like. I have given up all hope of it being delivered now. How they have been allowed to continue to operate in this country or anywhere else beats me! I urge anyone who reads this review, or any of the other numerous reviews about Hermes, is to avoid them like you would HERPES!”
“Alright guys ... I have proposed this before... we all need to contact watchdog or pool monies together to get legal advice to bring this company down. PLEASE everyone start with contacting watchdog / about this company. They are getting away with murder! I am tired of the dishonesty, the theft, the deplorable service! I don't know where to start... but I have lawyers in my family. Please let us stand together and start with watchdog... Contact watchdog on ...
Facebook, via Twitter or post a letter to: Watchdog, 1st Floor, BBC Dock House, MediaCityUK, Salford, M50 2LH.”

“Truly awful company! They never deliver in the time slot as advertised if at all. When the parcels finally turn up they are left in places like dustbins etc and generally get covered in dirt. As for their customer services!! Ha what a joke. 0/5.”
“Applied on the Hermes website to become a parcel delivery agent
I then spoke to our local delivery guy who gave me a number to call
What a shower of s¥!€ this company are, had a couple of calls with managers promising someone would be in touch and none ever did, despite available positions in my area being advertised online
I then emailed their complaints department, I think they were based in the Netherlands, guess what ? Never had a reply
When you speak to the delivery guys they say the management are idiots, well I wouldn't argue with them based on my experience
As a delivery company and when I'm sending a parcel I can't fault them, but that's the guys in the field, as a company very poor
0 stars in afraid”
