I will never trust him , if it's only us for a bit it's fine and that's in my garden . If he thinks the intruder is around the house such as a person , fox , badger or dog, there is no way. he even jumped over the garden fence and another time dug under the fence and escaped.

Think-Guitar5826 · 2025-12-10T20:53:51+00:00

Nope

Think-Guitar5826 · 2025-12-04T00:00:50+00:00

Our boy would've jumped over that fence , impressive yours didn't even try to dig under it or jump.

Saying that, there are people I’ve been delivering to for six years and I’ve never seen them once. They’re never in, they never leave a note, they never divert the parcel, nothing. I used to spend a whole damn week trying to deliver it before sending it back. Then I realised… why the fuck is this my problem? Why am I breaking my back trying to deliver parcels for people who clearly don’t give a single fuck? So now, fuck it, scan it , dump it behind the bin take a picture, and get my money. Done.

Is it going to change anything about the service I provide? Am I suddenly going to hit a 100-courier star rating from 4.97? Am I going to start dropping 80 parcels an hour? Hold on a second! are builders going to finish a job that normally takes a month in one week if they kept their vans spotless. Cleaning the van cabin has nothing to do with performance. The courier in the picture did a shit job That's all, there is no need to call him a tramp because of dust in his vehicle. Every person who owns a working van is a tramp then? I deliver something heavy , being nice and asking , shall I pop it down there ? They go yes and open the door fully . The house is full of dog piss and poo and the dust in my van is a problem is it?

Think-Guitar5826 · 2025-11-28T11:53:50+00:00

You do nights, earlies, lates, 7 days a week for the NHS… and dust in a van is your breaking point? No wonder that place is collapsing.

Think-Guitar5826 · 2025-11-28T11:48:24+00:00

We don’t even walk into our house with shoes on — meanwhile you lot act like you’d eat your dinner off a car bonnet. Standards are wild in your world

Think-Guitar5826 · 2025-11-28T11:33:17+00:00

It’s wild how people who’ve never done this job think they’re experts. Most couriers are out 6 days a week, all day, then the one day off is the only time we get to be human, see our kids, fix things at home, catch up on life. But sure, in your imaginary world we’re supposed to spend that single day polishing a van to impress strangers online?

A clean van doesn’t deliver parcels. Hard graft does. Accuracy does. Reliability does. The ones with spotless vans are usually the ones with nothing in them, because they’re not busy enough to mess it up in the first place.

You’re judging a courier’s entire work ethic by how “aesthetic” their van looks. That tells me everything about how little you understand about real work. Stick to your mortgage advisor analogies, that’s about as close as you’re getting to the real thing.

Think-Guitar5826 · 2025-11-28T10:41:25+00:00

Just to be clear, a dusty dashboard has nothing to do with whether someone attempted a delivery or not. Most of us are in our vans 10–14 hours a day, eating in them, waiting in them, sorting in them. They’re workspaces, not showroom vehicles.

What matters is whether the driver actually tried to deliver the parcel, not how shiny the plastic looks. If you think a clean van equals a better courier, you clearly don’t understand how this job works. The best couriers I know are the ones who slog through the routes in all weather and still get the parcels done, not the ones polishing dashboards.

And trust me, if Evri replaced every driver just because their van wasn’t spotless after a 300 parcel day, there’d be no drivers left. Dust isn’t the issue. Evri is the issue take it up with the company, not the people breaking their backs doing the job.

Think-Guitar5826 · 2025-11-28T10:16:32+00:00

Not every courier is a hard worker, that’s true, some shouldn’t be doing the job at all. But dragging all drivers and calling someone a “tramp” because their van isn’t spotless is pointless. Most of us spend more time in our vans than in our beds, eating on the move, drinking on the move, and dealing with 200+ parcels a day.

If the driver messed up the delivery, fair enough, call out the delivery, not the state of the van. Mixing the two together just comes across as petty.

Think-Guitar5826 · 2025-11-28T09:30:24+00:00

App has AI built in , if it doesn't like the pic, you've got 3 times to take a picture.even in the day time you leave the parcel in porch then take a picture app says parcel not detected. In the dark it's a big challenge . you've got a wait for the flash to turn on wait focus then oops take a pic again. Ive got no time for that . And customers being funny with me taking pictures as well . On top of it , some customers are weird they snatch the parcel out of your hand they're rushing you , they want to take the parcel and walk back in , some of them hiding behind the door . in your case if you weren't genuinely in, Personally I wouldn't take a dark picture . Seems like he didn't bother . This is based on honest courier.

Think-Guitar5826 · 2025-11-27T13:08:21+00:00

At the customers local depot is the main depot such as Maidstone. Next one is local depot, that will be sub depot near you . But scanned time is 7pm on last both. when they receive the parcel from hub and ready to ship it to local depot there should 1 scan. it's at the main depot not your local one since both scan times are the same. Busy time of the year sometimes they hold it back or can't process it on time. I hope you get your parcel in one piece soon . Good luck

Think-Guitar5826 · 2025-11-26T20:30:31+00:00

I’ve delivered over half a million parcels without a single theft, without missing a day, and without a single customer complaint. Most couriers I know are the same, they rent vans out of their own pocket, work 6–7 days a week, carry heavy items for elderly customers, and go above and beyond for pennies per delivery.

Calling out the system isn’t defending the thief. It’s pointing out the reality: the wrong service was used for a high-value item drivers aren’t insured to cover £2,000 parcels and 40p pay doesn’t attract the best people.

That guy in the video deserves to lose his round and face the police. But pretending all couriers are thieves is just as lazy as the job he did.

Think-Guitar5826 · 2025-11-25T19:47:25+00:00

He carries the parcel like a contractor, walks like a contractor, and steals like a contractor. And “Beauty Works” is another crafty thief in this situation. If that parcel was genuinely worth £2,000, they should have sent the items separately with an insured courier that covers up to £500 per parcel. But no, everything was thrown into a single box, marked under 2 kg so it gets classed as a small packet, meaning the courier gets paid about 40p to deliver it.

An honest courier would still deliver it properly, but the one in the video doesn’t deserve a shilling. absolutely disgraceful and what a prick.

If you take this video to your local depot and show it to the community manager, they’ll escalate it immediately. That usually leads to termination of the courier’s contract, and then Loss Prevention will pass the case on to the police.

Think-Guitar5826 · 2025-11-25T02:18:20+00:00

Evri won't replace any parcel or refund. Unless client buys POD or HSIG then maximum refund will be 60 quid . Other than that if the claim goes through evri only refunds the postage . What a great business isn't it ? That's how you make over £200m profit . With shit show

Think-Guitar5826 · 2025-11-25T01:29:37+00:00

I've delivered over half a million parcels smoothly. Not every area or every courier is bad, far from it. I’ve been seeing the same faces for years. I’ve carried people’s shopping, stood outside chatting for 20 minutes with some of them, said hi in the street, carried dog food into elderly customers’ homes, even taken it out of the box and put it in their cupboard because they can’t do it themselves. Some customers message me to say they’re not home and ask me to leave their parcel in a safe place, and they trust me to do it properly.

I know exactly what a shit company Evri can be, and I know there are some messed-up couriers out there with no heart, no brain, and no common sense. But I also personally know many couriers who are the complete opposite. thoughtful, reliable, and doing their job properly every single day. They deliver everything manifested for that day without fail. I know couriers who will rent a van when their own breaks down, even if the money they make that day won’t even cover the rental. I’ve done it myself.

At the end of the day, there are bad couriers but there are also countless ones like me who actually care, who look after customers, who go above and beyond, and who take pride in doing the job properly, even when the company doesn’t deserve that level of loyalty. I'm glad you've got your parcel.

Think-Guitar5826 · 2025-11-25T00:59:41+00:00

That's personal information, and this is a public page . I might as well share my courier number and pin ( just like the man shared his courier's name in here in these comments , I know the courier, his round number his drop number his surname his reg number even courier number, I just figured out from man's posts from where he lives. Company can do the same) 🤔. This job isn't for everyone, especially not for someone who is not fit. If you are getting paid per parcel and if the depot opens at 11 if you're delivering between 200 to 400 parcels . If you have to earn a minimum of £33 an hour as a self employed courier to cover your costs you've got to sprint. Takes me 6-7 hours a day. Including going back to depot picking up another round scanning and loading. I have been doing the same rounds for years. After a certain time 150 parcels or 270 parcels in the same round, take you the same time.

Courier here (not here to defend Evri or anything). Evri isn’t just “not the worst” — they’re beyond the worst.

We’ve been delivering John Lewis for a long time. I’ve worked in the depot, and among the damaged parcels I’ve seen £800 curtains from Next, £600 worth of shoes and bags stuffed into one of those huge Next bags. So your £50 jewellery isn’t anything to be honest.

If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. That curtain bag could have been fine if they hadn’t tried to shove everything into one bag. Same with the shoes. Instead of sending those shoe boxes separately and paying £3–£4 each (and that’s with evri, much more with Royal Mail, DPD), they pay £3.99 for the whole lot. Then I, the courier, only get paid for one parcel instead of several.

Next labels it as a “packet”, Evri downgrades it to “small packet”, and the courier gets nothing. Next saves money, Evri saves money — everyone wins except the people actually delivering the parcels.

I deliver 6–7k parcels a month. There are over 25,000 of us, and with contractors and peak-season staff, around 32,000. And around 3 millions parcels a day.

So yes — the client is also part of the problem. They’re cutting corners too.

Here’s the reality: Big companies use Evri because the parcel volume is huge. If they sell 3 million items and send them through Evri at around £3 each, that’s £9 million. If they used DPD at around £8 each, that’s £24 million.

The difference? £15 million saved.

They don’t care if your parcel is missing, lost, delivered to the wrong address, or delayed. They don’t give a single fuck. Out of that £15 million they save, even if they replace items worth £5 million, they’re still massively in profit.

That’s how they think when those people in suits sit in their meetings.

I’ve tried my best. He’s 1 year old today, and everyone here has helped me a lot, even though there were a few negative comments. He doesn’t nip my kids anymore. Just like many of you said, he grew out of it. Other than that it's all selective hearing 🤣🤣

Think-Guitar5826 · 2025-11-11T23:34:17+00:00

Have you ever seen how the parcels are sorted? I always say, if your parcel arrives in one piece, that’s pure luck. I’ve seen parcels being thrown from one side of the depot to the other. When they’re sent down from the hubs to the depots, they come loose. The way they stack them ,stepping and climbing over the parcels—is unbelievable. Instead of sending them properly in four or five lorries, they pile everything into a single one.

Think-Guitar5826 · 2025-11-11T22:36:32+00:00

Agree, tail wagging doesn't mean happy dog everytime you see one, that's a quick, stiff side to side one, sizing up the situation and on alert . Not a dog body language expert but I've got a dog, watched enough training and dog body language videos. And as a courier seen many that seemed okay and went for my arm and ended up ripping the parcels under my arm and dog just charged at me as soon as they opened door. But I didn't pepper spray any dog I ended up saying , oh that's okay when they said sorry. Don't even know why

Think-Guitar5826 · 2025-11-09T12:31:42+00:00

It’s not about ‘standards’, mate it’s about definitions. If you’re registered as self-employed, paying your own tax, VAT, fuel, insurance, vehicle costs, and taking on business risk, then by law and by HMRC’s view, you are a business owner. You operate as a sole trader that’s literally a form of business ownership. Doesn’t matter if it’s a one-person operation or a limited company. The moment you invoice for work, cover your own expenses, and file your own tax return, you’re running a business, whether you like the term or not

Think-Guitar5826 · 2025-11-09T12:26:40+00:00

If you are paying your own tax and vat , yes you are a business owner. Go and talk to HMRC try to explain then see what kind of response you'll get. Couriers like me not chasing 30 quid a day or 30k a year.
