There was no prior information about delivery timing. We were at home though when it arrived. The driver rang the Block buzzer for access to the 4 storey block and we confirmed the parcel was for us. He did not reply. After some time he had not appeared at the flat door so we checked from the balcony. He ignored our calling to him, went to a recycling bin and dumped something, then got back in his plain white van (he was wearing a yellow Yodel vest) and drove away.
We managed to get downstairs in time to find and recover the parcel that had been left, without a word, a note or anything in the public area by the open outer front door of the Block. It is a public area and anyone could have taken it. Luckily, we were able to recover it.
I contacted Yodel on webchat. The operative was very slow, very unhelpful and basically shrugged me off. I asked to whom I could write to complain. He replied 'Abbie'. I asked him for an email address. He gave me my email address. I pointed this out and asked for an email address of someone in his company. He did not answer. I prompted him several times asking if he was still there, why he was not answering (all very politely) and he just closed the conversation without a further word. I had been making screenshots of all the conversation (including the record of him closing the conversation without replying) and still have that saved: just as well as the option to have the conversation emailed to me did not work (I have a copy of that pop-up as well)
This is a repeat of every previous very poor service their company has given over the years. They are simply useless in terms of final delivery - it seems their weakness is their use of casual contract staff to drop off the parcels at the destination: always in private unmarked vehicles, always sloppy, always too lazy to actually make the delivery. And their webchat is staffed by people who seem unable to understand what is going on and who think it is OK to just leave the customer hanging their then close the conversation without answering.
