It’s one of my most spun records of the past month.
 
Once again my VMP packages have been refused delivery as the wrong postcode has been added to the label.

This is crazy and probably the 7-8th time that this has happened in the past year.

Whats strange is that the label that's printed in the US is correct, it's the label that gets put over it once it reaches the UK that has the incorrect postcode. Has anyone else had this issue (mainly International Subscribers I guess)?

Never. Might be because I'm in the North though.

So is it UPS/ Yodel who are changing it? Wonder if there are two similar street names and the postcode is auto defaulting to the other one

I think the answer is Yodel. I had a ‘delivery’ driver who every parcel disappeared with. Since they have changed to Royal Mail every parcel has arrived. You need to contact VMP CS and ask to stop getting from Yodel. They (Yodel that is) are a corrupt shit show with zero customer care, and most companies are now getting wise to them.

Any company that deals with yodel gets what they deserve in terms of lost packages. They treat and pay their drivers like utter shit, set unrealistic targets and act like this could could nothing to ever go wrong. And they’re not the only ones doing it…

The company may deserve it, but @Selaws doesn't!
 
I don't understand what dictates my "final mile" carrier for VMP. This is the second month in a row I have two shipments a day or two apart, both start with DHL but one is coming by Intelcom while the other is coming from UniUni... when I let my sub lapse TForce was doing the "final mile" and when I first joined Canada Post was handling it. Everything to do with VMP's logistics makes my brain hurt.

Wait, y’all have a gig parcel service? Holy fuck does that seem like a bad idea.

Pretty much all the couriers in Britain are. They try to weasel out of creating the employer/employee relationship by claiming their drivers are self employed contractors who can pick and choose their hours. In reality the minimum hour expectations and delivery quotas are almost unworkable, they do effectively create that relationship with the demands placed on the drivers and the whole thing only exists so they can pay them way less than they could legally and get out of the employees obligation to make employers NI and national pension contributions.

Ours do always get passed from DHL to An Post for any company that uses that DHL budget international postage. Ireland probably is too small for the shitty exploitative couriers to fully move into.

Who chooses the final mile carrier? I’ve never understood this myself. I sometimes have UPS packages that get handed off the USPS for final delivery or other times UPS delivers themselves and there’s no rhyme or reason to it

Smart post would be ups to or FedEx to USPS. I have found that when the initial carrier is delayed that they will skip the hand off.

The sender does in those instances.

Not sure about DHL or these overseas dudes in their ford escorts.
