Yet again a parcel which was supposed to be delivered by Yodel isn't delivered. The tracking starts off well with a 2 hour delivery slot and the information the driver is on delivery 6 and you are 69. The next time I looked the tracking information has gone (it's still prior to the end of the 2 hour slot). Once the 2 hour slot is gone I contacted Yodel via their webchat service to be told that the driver failed to deliver (really!) and will try again tomorrow. The tracking system is then magically updated to say they were unable to locate our property. DPD, Hermes, Royal Mail and many other services rarely have a problem. Yodel and UPS, however, are in a class of their own - not a good class :( Oddly on their second attempts they nearly always manage to deliver which makes me suspicious that locating us isn't the issue.

I have been waiting for my parcel for 10 days now but the tracking says it is on transit. Tried to contact on ph but that is automated so there is no way I can contact. Had chat 4 times in webchat service but they are unable to locate parcel rather asked me to contact seller for a possible solution. They do not provide any slot of delivery which is very frustrating for customer. I do recommend the business to use DPD even they have to pay a bit more. Using cheaper service but losing parcel in the end is way more expensive. On the top, the business will lose customer too. I would never use Yodel for any delivery due to their poor service.

Had a very dodgy delivery driver. He rang my doorbell. We have a door code that opens the front door to our building so I shouted down did he know it (as I didn't realise it was Yodel and our normal post man has the code). He shouted no. I ran down to collect my parcel, and after he gives me it he asks 'what is your door code by the way, he then paused looking shifty as hell and added' I mean has it changed?' Changed from what I asked. He stumbled over his words and said 'oh you've given me it before. No, I haven't. He had no idea what it was because he has never delivered here before. I've had 1 Yodel delivery in 5 years and it wasn't him. I find it very shady he was asking for the code to access my building after he'd already delivered the parcel.

I missed the 1st delivery due to a fall. I am disabled and had to go to hospital. On getting a card I rearranged delivery the next day to a different address, all was confirmed. I tried all day to track but it wasn't updates. I tried to ring but its automated and it doesn't help. I used chat and twice was told to keep checking the tracking and to remain at the property. By 8pm I used chat again and was told it would be with me at your earliest, I asked which day and she couldn't or wouldn't say, she just kept repeating thank you for your patience, your delivery will be with you at our earliest. By this time my patience had run out and I asked if she expected me to wait indefinitely. And she repeated herself again. It future I will avoid at all costs, I have been lied to and you make promises you have no intention of keeping and will not speak to your customers personally. Awful customer service shame on you!!

Il sum up why they are awful in a few steps. 1. Parcel is a week late 2. Arranged delivery for when I'd be home. Tracking information was so off, I wasn't home. 3. Driver didn't use my ring.com, or leave a card 4. After speaking to customer service, the only option I was given was to deliver it tomorow... When I wouldn't be home (that's why I arranged it for today) So I'm going to the depot when I can to pick it up. Because they can't be trusted to do the 1 thing there company is supposed to do. Deliver. Edit: picked it up, my induction hob is smashed to pieces

Useless company - lost 3 parcels I sent, had another returned for no reason. No compensation, spent at least 5 hours on to their 'help' desk, which is incredibly hard to find. Avoid like the plague.

My delivery was scheduled to arrive yesterday. I rescheduled it at 4pm to arrive on Saturday which is today and no word. It is 4pm now. The agent on their website said the driver is on the way but can not disclose the time slot. Said to wait until 9pm. It is unacceptable and unhelpful as will wait for the whole day. Terrible company

Avoid!!! I have recently ordered something on ebay and the seller posted it via Yodel. And although tracking number shows it was delivered, I did not receive it. I contacted Yodel 3 times with regards to this. Each time I was told they will investigate it and get back to me. But they did not. Zero communication from their side. Furthermore, each time I contacted them, they provided conflicting information. Tracking number was showing it was delivered on the 7th Sept, but in fact it was not. I contacted them on 10 Sept and was advised that according the driver's location on the map, the parcel was delivered to my address that day (i.e. 10 Sept) at 17:59. However, it was only 17:09 when the advisor said this; thus I am not even sure how this could be possible. When I contacted them again few days later, they said the last time I was given wrong information. Eventually when I contacted them the 3rd time they said according to their records it was delivered. End of the story. Nobody was willing to help, they treat customers like a nuisance. Thus, save yourself a lot of frustration and money and avoid Yodel!!!

Yodel delivery are the worst ones ever!!! My package said delivered to a safe place (garage). First foremost I was in all day, secondly I don’t have a garage. No package was left outside my house also.

Long story as short as possible! I placed an order and estimated to be arrived last Saturday (11/09/21). I waited all day long on the delivery date but nothing was delivered. But out of the blue i got a text that my parcel has already been delivered. After contacting the Yodel customer service, i learned that its been delivered to one of my neighbouring properties. After chasing Yodel customer service, i have been told to look for parcel in neighbours. so they have audacity to tell me to knock every neighbours door to fetch my parcel, instead of accepting their mistake and simply refund my money cuz bottom line is I paid to get stuff delivered to me, not to my neighbours. Till date I am still chasing them to get to conclusion and to get the need full done to me. I will never, never, never, ever...use #Yodel again. If i want to order an item and if they ship with Yodel, I would rather wont buy any item as simple as that. Or use different courier even if cost me more. #Yodel sucks...period. BUYER BEWARE--Do not use Yodel even if its last courier exists in whole world. You've been warned. I wish someone warned me too.

I have been waiting for a delivery since Tuesday and still no sign of it. Can't get through on phones or webchat. The Company i bought from have actually been in touch with Yodel and they still haven't brought it. I mean on Wednesday the driver was actually at the bottom of my street yet couldn't find my location. The Company should be shut down, and this isn't the first time they have cocked things up.

Abysmal!!! failed to find address, then customer care kept lying about re-delivery. Were evasive and almost impossible to get hold of. How they remain in busyness is beyond me. Pete Nottingham

Wish i could give 0 stars. Ordered next day delivery. Its been 16 days... They claimed they couldnt find my address, I updated my address plus gave directions. They found my address and claimed that someone told them I had moved house. I doubt the drivers even leave their house tbh.

Absolutely shocking! My delivery is 2 days late, I’ve called the driver and he’s in the bath and was rude to me. Now I’ve got to collect my parcel from their deposit. I will never use these again in my life nor shop with companies that use there delivery service.

I might be one of few very, VERY few lucky people to have had a decent experience with this company, unless almost 4000 people are somehow a vocal minority. I ordered a product off Amazon from the States to the UK, because I couldn't find this specific item in any UK-based shopping sites. You don't have control over what company delivers you packages, so Yodel were my assigned delivery guys. I received an email from them saying that my package would out for delivery. So I did some research and began to panic at all the negative reviews. But as I was reading them with horror, I got a knock on the door and the parcel was handed over. So my one and only experience with them so far was prompt and a nice surprise, because it came earlier than the original estimated date of delivery and was in perfectly good condition. But judging by these reviews, I would suggest avoiding this company at all costs if you can. I might be that one needle in the haystack.

Attempt delivery at the wrong address and then say you missed the parcel, absolutely impossible to get through to anyone who is human and not an automated machine to speak to them about it. Terrible terrible company.

I was told my parcel had been delivered through my letterbox. I was in at the time it was supposed to have been delivered but nothing arrived through my letterbox. The delivery details gave the driver's contact number as 0000. What a joke as It's not a valid contact number. I've tried contacting yodel who were supposed to be checking with the depot to try to track down my parcel. They said they would get back to me in 24 hours. 48 hours later and still no response! Would never recommend Yodel as a delivery company.
