2 days of waiting in for a delivery that hasn’t arrived. Both times reply apparently drivers Sat nav can’t find a London address and postcode . After giving the correct address on chat and to the original company to pass on. They still say they can’t find this! And are passing the buck. Not had this problem with other delivery companies just yodel

My parcel was dropped off by the seller on 27th July 2023 and (according to YODEL) was at the depot on 30th July 2023 due to be delivered by 2nd August at the latest. I ordering the item well in advance of the event so I had plenty of time to check, wrap and gift the item. The item was not delivered on 1st August 2023 which was disappointing as I had waited in all day for it. The item was then to be delivered on 2nd August 2023 at the latest so at least I only had to wait in for one more day. The item was still not delivered. On 3rd August 2023 & every day up until today, I have been in touch with YODEL regarding this delivery. I have so far been told – • The parcel is 5 stops away • Tomorrow (Friday 4th August) is the latest the parcel will be • We could not delivery the parcel due to ‘access issues’ (no explanation) • The driver ‘did not have the access code’ (no explanation) • The driver ‘attempted delivery’ (no explanation) • The parcel will be delivered today • The driver ‘attempted delivery’ three minutes apart? • We do not condone the behaviour of the delivery driver • The parcel is on its way today at the latest • We can see that the delivery driver has not been anywhere near your home • The parcel has not left the depot at any point during the nine days we held it There is no way that all of these explanations for why I do not have my parcel can all be true and all be true at the same time. I can advise that Evri, Royal Mail & Amazon have had NONE of the issues YODEL claim to have had – very suspicious. It becomes even more suspicious when there is no such thing as an ‘access issue’, or an ‘access code’ and I know there was no attempted deliveries because I was home and this is backed up by CCTV. It seems that YODEL are taking items, holding them, making no attempt to deliver, then returning them to sender. Having checked online, I can see that a huge number of customers seem to have this exact complaint. Allegedly, my parcel is now being returned to sender – I wish YODEL had been as efficient at delivering my item as they have been at returning it. This was an important parcel, I am self employed and have wasted hours of the last nine days tracking this parcel. I am deeply concerned by YODELs conduct, the fact that they literally refused to advise me of the complaints procedure (despite their legal obligation)

No sign of my order two weeks after seller posted it, several web chats later & no further, how on earth can they loose a parcel, surely it’s straightforward enough, I am so disappointed as the item is needed for my Daughter’s wedding, dreadful experience so far!

Says package is delivered(handed to resident). But weve been here all the time and no one has come. Phoned driver multiple times. No answer. Phone Yodel, only automated call that told me my parcel was delivered. Tried webcam. Finally got through to someone who cut me off because apparently I hadn't responded in time. Wasn't even 2 mins. And now I can't get back onto it. Says they're all busy😠

The worst service. Cannot do the only job they have. Said delivered but they did not and on the chat held me for half hour showing that agent was typing but no messages were coming thorugh and then when came though all at once the closed the chat saying I was not replying.

Whenever I see that an ebay seller has used Yodel I cringe and just know it will be a nightmare. At present I'm waiting for a delivery which has been registered as being on the "Lincoln Vehicle" for 3 days. Both the vendor and myself have been onto the online chat and they have finally admitted it had been sent somewhere else. Why are there no checks at the end of day to make sure that everything that was meant to be delivered got to its destination ? It doesn't seem like rocket science to me ... unless of course Yodel just don't give a damn about the customers.

I live above a REALLY big pub and the yodel driver could not find my address or leave the package in the MASSIVE pub I live above

No calling card. Delivery photo (which I could only access by installing the yodel app) shows the parcel stuffed in a plant pot in a garden I don't recognise and which doesn't belong to any of my neighbours. Where is my parcel?

Terrible service. The first delivery came on the wrong day so I wasn't home. The second driver did not ring the doorbell bell and claimed I was not in. So not only was it a complete nightmare to finally get my delivery. The third driver that delivered (on the wrong day again) called and told me I had to leave work immediately and come home to get or it will be returned to sender due to 'multiple failed attempts'. When I got home he wasn't even there so I had wait around, to later find out that my sofa will be delivered in multiple boxes and he only had one but not worry he says as there is another one at the depot. Also the fully electronic system is a joke and they refuse to have a real conversation with me. No one is calling me back and the 'online agents' are useless and have disconnected chats forcing me to explain all over again.

Terrible company, was blaming another company saying that they haven't received the package when they had it the entire time. Ended up delivering the day after I specifically payed for.

I had an email on the 31st July to say a parcel had been left in a safe place ( at the front door) at 3.30pm, no pictures, no card no time slot. and guess what when I got home at 4.15pm No parcel. Tried to ring the driver mobile number not correct. Went on their chat, had to wait 24hrs still nothing. I would never use these and have informed company I brought goods from to say if they are goint to use this company, I will not be buying from them again.

I have got an email that my package has been delivered but unfortunately I wasn’t home therefore the postman left a note that he left the package under address 186. I went to look around and asked all of my neighbours but i couldn’t find the package however, later i found out that the address doesn’t even exist. Thankfully, 3 days later some men found the package and returned it to me. Therefore i would bot recommend using Yodel. Please don’t use it if you want to get what you have paid for.

The driver stole my parcel and used a photo off the internet as proof of delivery. The photo certainly looks fake but the customer service agent refused to even accept their fault. I live in a flat and the photo was from an abandoned storage room or something and the photo was pixelated and very obvious it was a downloaded one. Even my retailer ‘Timberland’ accepted straightaway that photo looks fake. They hire thieves and it’s not my first experience with them hence the review. Pls stay away!

I watch my live plants travel all around Harwich on screen only for Yodel to fail to deliver yet again. Why is this rubbish company still winning business when they consistently fail to deliver? Please please suppliers don't use this company to send parcels.

Theiving drivers saying they delivered a parcel and have not, happened twice to me , The second time I was meant to get two parcels he brought one too the door,as our ring doorbell clearly shows but not the second one….we then got a txt to say 2 parcels had been delivered…clearly not just one as ring doorbell proves when tried to contact yodel it’s chat bots..as much use as a choclate fire guard….clearly there is a culture of pilfering within this company ,and I doubt that any of there drivers are vetted

you are looking to use Yodel to deliver your parcel please be very careful. I've had a horrendous experience with them. On 10/07, I paid Yodel to deliver an item to a shop to receive a refund. The shop's Terms and Conditions stated that I had to return the item within 14 days for a refund. I paid and trusted Yodel to deliver my parcel in a timely manner. But the entire experience with Yodel has been a terrible nightmare. Despite me giving Yodel the opening and closing times of the shop they made two failed deliveries because they went to the premises long after the shop was closed for the day (Gone 6.30 pm). 15 days later they delivered the parcel but once again turned up after closing hours and dumped my parcel with an unknown source. Their Customers Services is an absolute joke. The online chat is operated by BOTS I believe from South Africa and India. All they do is copy and paste from a script like parrots. The same goes to Customer Services on the phone. The BOTS are simply reading from a script from South Africa and India. It's a horrendous joke at the expense of the paying customers. If you want to deliver a package to a commercial property be careful because Yodel thinks they can rock up to the premises whenever they want.
