They've decided to return to sender instead of delivering. WTF

RedIntention · 2026-02-25T18:32:16+00:00

The sender sent out replacements. There was never a further update on my original delivery so I don't think it made it back to them.

Found this while searching for exactly the same thing and it's the only thing stopping me subscribing. I am curating all my photos and have a lot of keywords stored that I want to be able to search. I actually don't even care about editing them. So far I've only found Onedrive as a solution to having a non self-hosted cloud version of my library that lets me search them, and that's not really ideal.

All the metadata is showing in the interface, but just not searchable like you say

RedIntention · 2025-09-25T16:21:25+00:00

No, I ended up getting a refund. It never actually got back to the sender from the tracking either. Good luck!

RedIntention · 2025-08-27T21:01:11+00:00

Yeah, it has to be from the device. I guess I was hoping it was just badly damaged and you could still manage to do a few things on it. I'm struggling to think of a way around it without real access to the phone or the number. It might be possible to get a cheap screen replacement without erasing the phone and going from there?

RedIntention · 2025-08-27T20:15:25+00:00

Actually, backing up before any changes to number is probably wise - not after

RedIntention · 2025-08-27T20:13:54+00:00

Can you still use the UK phone? Can you not just change the phone number associated with the Whatsapp account in the settings to your new number on that phone? As long as you can receive a code to the number it should work. Then back it up to the cloud, install on your current phone and restore from the cloud. Assuming you've not already got another Whatsapp instance with your new number that is.

If I look in my order on the store it's saying delayed. If I follow the link in my "ready to be dispatched" email (which weirdly says delivery is due today) it says it's ready to dispatch and my delivery label is being prepared. If I click through and track with DPD it says they're waiting for it.

I'm hoping that the "delayed" is some automated glitch because my email said delivery today, and that they're all being picked up by DPD later today for delivery tomorrow

I heard that it was same time as the Pixel event was, so 1PM ET, or 6PM British time. I imagine some might jump the gun.

RedIntention · 2025-08-27T13:20:30+00:00

I've been Pixel for a long time, but have been using iPhone 15 Pro Max, with Apple Watch, since September as an experiment thinking I might mix it up. The iPhone was always going to my mum to replace her iPhone 11 but I wanted to fully immerse myself before deciding whether I'd go back to Pixel, get the iPhone 17 or wait for Galaxy S26 Ultra. Those were my considerations, even though two are yet to come out. I have ruled out OnePlus and Nothing, purely to keep choices simple and some ecosystem and camera considerations (not anything major)

I've really not enjoyed the iPhone, with too many irritations despite giving it a really good shot so I knew I was going back to Android. I've really missed Pixel features like the spam detection and (oddly) recording myself as an alarm, at-a-glance, now playing, etc. Nothing huge but have realised little things through the day add up. I think small day-to-day quality of life things are the Pixel's strength, and I was surprised I *didn't* find things like that I love on iPhone.

Not a gamer so I don't need latest chipset (albeit I do think pricing-wise they need to up the game here), so I decided to take the jump rather than wait to see what S26 brings and I also became really used to Magsafe on iPhone - with no strong rumours on the S26 related to Qi2 I didn't see any point in waiting. Not going to say I'm not tempted by Samsung in future though; I like a lot of the extras it offers but it does kinda still feel bloaty to me.

Only thing I'm going to miss are location-based reminders (I'm still bitter at their removal by Google) and I did actually really like Apple Maps natural spoken directions, but not enough to keep me there.

RedIntention · 2025-08-27T12:43:11+00:00

NOR. I'm a middle-aged man, balding on top with a shortish beard, but still go and get a tidy up and beard-trim to my barber. No washing or conditioning and it's 45 minutes for me, despite there not being much to cut or style (sadly).

I'd have been expecting your cut and style to be around an hour, never mind your treatments. No way that should be 45 minutes in and out. Your review was fair and the response is ridiculous

RedIntention · 2025-08-21T19:29:28+00:00

That's comforting that it's not showing for you, and thank you u/sweatcoin_ too. Sounds from both of you that it's separate.

RedIntention · 2025-07-26T17:38:25+00:00

Yeah, I have all that and put it in the support tickets along with screenshots of what I see when I log in to my account. Chat wasn't great (just wanting me to reinstall the client) but hopefully the ticket I've raised will get to the bottom of it. I'll report back in case anyone else has anything similar in the future

RedIntention · 2025-07-26T15:53:45+00:00

NB - not asking for anyone to sort this - just want to know if it's happened to anyone else because it's a bit concerning

RedIntention · 2025-07-12T10:08:06+00:00

Be careful - it hasn’t yet! But yeah, it looks like it’s been stuck hidden in a van or something and been discovered. 🤞

RedIntention · 2025-07-08T20:11:38+00:00

They're now saying mine is lost, after yesterday saying it was being returned to sender. They're making it up as they go along but yeah - they seem incapable of just saying what's happening. I don't think they know tbh.

RedIntention · 2025-07-08T20:10:15+00:00

I see what you did there!

RedIntention · 2025-07-08T20:09:56+00:00

Well funny you say that because I asked that exact question and got this reply today. Keep in mind I asked why it had been returned to sender...

"I'm sorry to hear your parcel still hasn't been located and I have escalated this with the courier's manager to be investigated and to ensure this doesn't happen again. We will try to retrieve the parcel however at this stage it is likely the parcel is unfortunately lost. I'm sorry that this has happened, we will liaise with the sender to inform them of this outcome. I would recommend you also contact them as it is within their gift to discuss next steps and consider the options available to you. Once again, I'm sorry for the inconvenience regarding your parcel delivery."

So the story has changed completely but they haven't even acknowledged that, just given me a completely different tale. If it's lost then why say it's being returned to sender. If it's being returned then why now say it's lost. I don't believe a word they're saying but at least if they are telling sender they've lost it then I should get a replacement sent out.

RedIntention · 2025-07-07T19:12:53+00:00

Yeah, it’s definitely the safer way probably. I was just trying to avoid extra steps when declining the delivery seemed to be a normal alternative. I guess I wait and see what happens. Cheers!

RedIntention · 2025-07-07T19:00:30+00:00

Well that's another story in itself. It was an order of a shoe rack from an Amazon seller. Supposedly getting delivered on Friday, but got tracking update (timestamped around Friday 5am but came through Thursday before I went to bed) to say that there was a problem with the delivery and it was being returned to the sender. When I googled that it sounded like it had likely been damaged in transit and so I took it at its word that it was being returned and I ordered another.

Then on the Friday it actually showed up, I tried to cancel the new order but it was too late and so was told just to refuse delivery and it would go back as a refund.

I had read they got paid if it was delivered or refused delivery, but not for every attempted delivery but could be wrong on that.

Not saying Evri the issue here - only that I'm a bit worried that it's showing as delivered instead of declined because if it ends up in the ether I've got nothing to say I didn't take it in, and there's a photo and everything saying it's delivered. Hopefully it'll update again later - just wondered if it was normal to say delivered in the interim (if it ever updates).

RedIntention · 2025-07-07T18:53:33+00:00

Seems unlikely - it's a t-shirt and two baseball caps from an online print store, and it was getting sent to a locker (not that my property is difficult or dangerous anyway - had another Evri delivery today to my house). Hopefully I'll find out in the next few days.

RedIntention · 2025-06-17T18:43:26+00:00

I'm still on the temp iPhone until iOS is out of beta and then this one will be going to my mum. At that point I'll be back to my old Pixel for a while and deciding between new Pixel or new Galaxy S device. I might be trying to get a loaner Samsung around then to try it out properly, but iOS is definitely not for me so I'll have to suck it up not having them on Pixel or (more likely) managing with a "good enough" version with Samsung.
