Liars
Supposedly tried to deliver a parcel and left me a card. The driver is other lying or got the wrong address. Now I have to sort it out. All these get rich quick delivery companies are useless and not to be trusted.

Why would anyone use this company when you can see the amount of awful reviews??? There literally isn't enough space on this review to explain the reasons why I would give Yodel a minus star rating if it were possible!!!

The degree of ineptitude is boggling
We have regular deliveries from various companies. ONLY this one cannot find us. As others report below the invisible cards etc appear daily. We even stood at the end of the driveway and tried to wave the cretin down - and he just drove by to the disbelief of the Fedex man who was present, (card left apparently). I had previously seen on their sat nav where they think the driveway is and it is 1.3 miles away on a different road and I have told them time and again to correct the system. Nothing changes. I just wish you could deselect them when placing orders. I am sure the drivers do their best but with management support like a broken bra what chance do they or any of us have...

More of the same
I ordered a battery for delivery yesterday. So far so good. The trouble began when i heard it was Yodel delivering. I get a lot of stuff delivered by Yodel. 75% of the time, there is a problem. it would seem that only two of the many Yodel drivers can find our address. This time I have hit the jackpot, four different answers as to why it has not been delivered. 1) It is out for delivery (A day late) 2) the parcel has been damaged and cannot be delivered. I should phone the depot (No answer to the only line not an automated answer machine) 3) the sender has instructed Yodel not to deliver (not according to the sender he hasn't) 4) Yodel tried to deliver yesterday but no-one was at home, card left (At no time yesterday was the house left unattended. From midday, when Yodel sent an EMail saying there had been a delay and the parcel would be delivered any time up to 7PM, there were two people in the house. Oh yes, and no sign of any card saying someone had called either) I am left with a dilema, which lie should I believe, because they cannot all be true? Yodel does not deserve a 0 rating, but there are no minus ratings available. Probably why there are fifty complaints here so far and one 'well done'. A 2% success rate is not a thing one can boast about

Poor Service
Delivered mini cooker toady to my mother in Hove. They left it at ground floor lobby whereas my mother is on second floor. She is 88 - how on earth was she going to get it up 2 floors. Idiot delivery man

Blatent Lies from their driver!
Crap service, there were 4 of us in my industrial unit ,today (Saturday) yet their driver claimed that there was no access (Door was open) and they left 2 cards.(Complete crap there are no cards) I have been assured by Amazon that the parcel will be delivered Tomorrow (Sunday) I will believe that when I see it. The parcel can go back, I don't want it now. The only way to beat this mob is to refuse to accept the parcels and hopefully they will suffer as much as they make all of us disgruntled people.

Crap
Every time I am expecting a parcel to be delivered by Yodel, I know I'm going to have problems. They either leave the parcel in an open hallway (and it goes missing) or say they've left a calling card (must be invisible ones) or leave it with a neighbour and don't say which one. You can call the courier but you cant understand what he is saying or he doesn't want to listen. Have had to resort to driving to Crawley to pick the parcel up myself. Customer Service is a complete joke

Bad delivery company waited a week for a Saturday delivery I see people are having problems calling the customer service follow these steps. 1. Call them 2. Say you have a call card 3. Enter 01234567 on your phone This will allow you to speak to a person not a machine. Enjoy :)

The Worst Service Ever
So far a card has been left, I've moved and the delivery has been refused in the space of three days, all of which is untrue. Does any one know how to contact these people, how can they be allowed to run a company where you cannot speak with a human being.

Disgraceful courier service.
Previous dealings with these idiots was not good but with this delivery its been as ridiculous as the other review below. 3 attempted deliveries, ghost call cards that actually haven't been left so no idea which house they think they are knocking at. Rubbish excuses such delivery vehicle broke down. Blatently a pack of lies. Avoid like pubic lice.

Bad Bad Bad
I have ordered cat food online almost 10 days ago. Unfortunately Yodel is the delivery man - despite been at home, for some reason they keep dropping the "I missed you card" through the letter box without using the bell right in front of them - After the third card I am cancelling the order and go to a pet shop instead. Is quicker

Delivered to the wrong address
My parcel was delivered completely to the wrong address and looks like the delivery driver signed for it himself name spelt wrong. Luckily for me the lady brought the parcel round to me herself otherwise I would never have got it. This is a useless service and amazon should not use them anymore . I can not get an answer to complain about this. I am expecting another parcel from amazon I think they should use a different company . Come on amazon you will just lose business if you keep using this inefficient company.

The company is ok but ruined by its so called crap managers
What do you expect in terms of perfomance of a business whose top administrator or manager comng in to work always after 10am.He is employed just like any other workers below him and is expected to deliver as well , neither is he above the company regulations. Don't do to others what you don't want to be done to yourself.

Yodel From Both Sides
Having worked for Yodel as a Delivery Driver for 3 months, I made sure I went out of my way to delievr as many parcels as possible. The problem was that the Mangement and Staff in the depot at Crawley could not give a Dam! They used to make sure we were over loaded with parcels to deliver knowing full well that we could not get it done. Their vehicles are not cared for and the mechanic they use is a back street job. Sue one of the so called managers is a self centered and ignorant woman. The only plus side is one of the Night Managers a guy called Phil who is just swimming against the tide in as Apathy rules the company. I kow work for a company that has to deal with them and wish we didn't.

Yodel from an employee's side
Yodel dont just treat there customers like shit they treat there staff the same being an ex employee, I worked for yodel and because I was ill and came over dizzie and fainted all the manager could say is your clearly uncapable of doing the job so dont f***ing come back. This is the way they treat there staff, and half of the drivers come back with loads of parcels left making excuses saying they cant find the address etc etc. Worst company I have ever worked for no wonder there is so many negative comments left by customers.

Not impressed
I rearranged the delivery using their site so that it could be delivered to my Mum's address. My mum waited in all day and no delivery arrived, when I got home I found they had tried delivering to me again. Despite their mistake I still had to go collect it myself. I would not choose to use them again ever
Michelle Juniper - 04/05/2013 | report this review
Waste of space
This 'company' somehow manages to mess up deliveries on a regular basis. They have given our goods to a driver who didn't cover our area so returned them to depot, they never leave cards but just dump the goods outside our door and yesterday 2 orders were not delivered 'due to bad weather' when the roads are clear and no issues at all. Personally am making an official request with my catalogue to never use the people again, would love to get explanation but that would involve Yodel answering the phone which they never do.

Never Use Yodel
Yodel are the worst delivery service ever. Their customer service is a complete shambles, they are unable to follow simple instructions, they lie, the delivery options they offer are limited and my parcel was sent back to the holding station at Gatwick. They refused to deliver to me on a requested day and said if I didn't collect the parcel myself within 7 days it would be sent back to the supplier (which was in the USA). I had to drive a 1 hour journey there to collect my parcel and a 1 hour journey back. They were inflexible and incompetent. They do NOT deserve any stars.

Utter rubbish
I have sadly had a number of dealings with these con-artists in the past, many cases the delivery didn't turn up at all. I am still waiting for delivery of a new mobile which these fools should have delivered by now. I gave one star as a rating as unfortunately I couldn't leave it blank. I have had enough of this rubbish service and will be seeking compensation via small claims court. NEVER USE THIS TERRIBLE COMPANY.

This is not a delivery service.Complete shambles say they can't find my house on tracking notes but they have the right address and there are only about 6 houses to choose from in this postcode. Unable to contact them for 3 days now. Going to camp out at the depot as this is my daughter's Christmas present. Will no longer order online items delivered by Yodel.

I'm waiting for a special Christmas present and I'm very worried now I've read these reviews. I've been waiting for my "express next day delivery" for 3 days now! Nobody answers when I ring Yodel,I hung on the phone for ages then was cut off! Why are they still in business? Forced to give stars when they don't deserve any! Terrible service.

Waiting waiting for delivery. My Amazon account informs me that the delivery has been delivereed and I have been the recipient, yet I have no parcel, no reference no for the automated service and I have been phoning for hours on the depot number but nobody answers. The majority of my childrens christmas presents missing. Very concerned Mum. Im going to go down there this afternoon and make waves and write a long long lettewr of complaint!!

I had a parcel due on Saturday 1st Dec, someone was here all day waiting for it so we didn't miss it. Apparently delivery was attempted but they couldn't gain access and a calling card was left. Absolute rubbish as our gate was unlocked and if we didn't hear the door the dogs would have done. No calling card was left so had to go round the houses to find out where it had gone. Terrible service. One star left as no stars isn't allowed.

Only 1 star as negative stars are impossible. Previously had bad service from the lying gits at Yodel who have wasted SO much of my time. Unfortunately it isn't possible to control who Amazon uses but it is getting to the point that I am going to have to stop using amazon. This time they delivered an electric blanket on a filthy wet day. They left it outside the drive to the gate in a PUBIC lane in a pool of water. Jokers.

Unbelievable ???
I ordered from Boots and Matalan who both use Yodel to deliver. I ordered a very large delivery from boots which never arrived - eventually boots contacted yodel on my behalf and yodel claimed to have put it through the letterbox! Even the boots customer service lady on the telephone agreed with me this was ludicrous. God knows to this day where that parcel was left or even if it arrived at all, similar situation 6 months later with Matalan (not themselves but yodel who deliver for Matalan) - who also agreed that a lot of people had complained about yodel. I am guessing they are cheap. I wonder why...

Fraud Being Committed on Daily Basis
I had the misfortune to have a delivery by Yodel, had requested delivery for a Wednesday and NO ATTEMPT even made - no explanation - then apparently parcel was delivered and signed for by me when I wasn't even at home on the Thursday hence why delivery requested for the Wednesday when I was home - Reported to Very and had to wait 21 days and I had to submit a copy of my signature in order that I could get refund for an order I NEVER GOT - no calling card even left as to who did sign for this parcel!!!! Probably delivery driver and now getting other people's parcels just thrown in my porch without driver even asking me if I will take others parcels and to top it all he STILL signing for me - FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD truly awful service - should be shut down - This is from the Gatwick Depot of Yodel as well.

No one knocked, no card left what a horrible service. Been waiting for two days for my parcel and no sign of it. When called to complain everytime was put on hold for ages, really and honestly wonder how this company exits. Forget what I say, see what people say about your services. Shame on yodel and your services. I will put this forward to BBC watchdog or Consumer Direct, something needs to be done about the horrible services you provide.

Worst delivery service ever!
My parcel was with them for 2 1/2 weeks, the first tracking message I received was that I had refused delivery of my order.... Really? The second tracking message was that my house didn't exist and the third tracking message was that my parcel had been delivered!!!! When I eventually got hold of the depot, they couldn't find my parcel for 2 days and when they did find it no drivers were available so I had to collect it myself. When I got to the depot..... They couldn't find the parcel!!!!! It took an hour for them to locate it. A parcel service...... A pigeon could have delivered it quicker. Useless. I would never use them again.
