I have had exactly the same experienc as that described by Tracey Dawson earlier today so I shn't repeat the details. It's proved impossible to speak to a human being at the company or to contact the local depot correct. It's Catch 22 meets Kafka!!

If I could give no stars I would ! Absolute joke of a company. Get nowhere on chat. Don't respond to emails and their drivers can't obviously read a map or sat nav correctly. Made a formal complaint again them now as I so sick of trying to find my 'missing' parcel . I am am willing to pay extra to get my parcels delivered from another courier now. Five days I've been trying to get information out of them and it's just like going round in circles . Never again will I let them deliver anything again. ABSOLUTELY USELESS COMPANY !! Customer service is an absolute joke you get nowhere . AVOID !!!!

Parcel left Aylesham delivery depot and has not been scanned or seen since 1st August. Been in touch with 3 different agents and complaints department all fobbing me off with the same lie we have sent it back to sender when senders address was not in or on the parcel. It has obviously been lost, damaged or stolen as they haven't got a clue where it is. Yodel are just the worst courier ever

Yodel said my parcel was delivered but it was not I was in all the time. I contacted yodel and their web chat said I had received my parcel and sent me proof of a photo. I said this is not true. my parcel had been delivered to another house and luckily they brought it to me the next day. Yodel is terrible and yodel in black and white wrote that I was lying. Yodel needs closing down and shops need to use other couriers.

Sadly I was severely disappointed by the service and the fashion my resultant complaint was dealt with. The first time it was claimed my parcel was delivered we were definitely in the house with a full view of any deliveries that were supposed to be delivered at the stated time. No bell was rung, nor delivery card left. After noting via Amazon tracking a supposed delivery had been attempted I changed my order details with YODEL (via the automated phone system..no human voice available) to ensure it would be left in the front porch for any future deliveries. Two future deliveries were apparently attempted, but still no card left on both occasions and package NOT left in the porch. There is no availability to actually talk to a human to resolve this problem, which would have hopefully resolved any problems much earlier. My only option was to use YODEL "live chat" option, this took 2 hours in total, with someone who I appreciated it was not their fault, but was obviously following instructions to stick to the party line of feedback, despite my delivery not following the correct delivery protocol (and the first delivery definitely being a "ghost" delivery). Ultimately I was informed that due to YODEL"attempting" 3 deliveries my parcel was being held in a warehouse 20 miles away and would need to be collected in person, despite me not having any transport to do so. Consequently, YODEL need to have a phone help desk whereby you can speak in real time to an actual human to resolve any problems and avoid this kind of frustration.

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😠

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.

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.
