Frank FilipponeI love how courier companies have mastered the art of “over promising and under delivering".
Today's example is “Couriers and Freight" who updated the tracking on my package to state that delivery would be in 30 minutes ... over 2 hours ago 🤦🏻♂️

Suomalainen Wolt murtaa kuriiriensa lakkoa väkivalloin Kyproksella - Industrial Workers of the World - IWW Suomi
Woltin kuriirit ovat omatoimisesti ryhtyneet lakkoon Nikosiassa ja Limasolissa olojensa ja työehtojensa parantamiseksi. Yhtiö on vastannut lakkoon sulkemalla lakkoon osallistuneiden tilejä Woltin sovelluksessa sekä lähettämällä aseistettuja kätyrejään uhkailemaan ja pahoinpitelemään lakkoilijoita. Myös paikallinen poliisi on Woltin apuna lakkoilijoiden painostamisessa ja pelottelussa. ”He toimittavat meille ruokaa, juomia ja päivittäistavaroita yötä päivää, satoi tai paistoi. Heille “maksetaan” […]

thefathippyDear courier companies. The letterbox is right there.
There is nowhere in this universe where this standard of "delivery" is considered acceptable. FIX IT! FFS - employ more drivers if they don't have time to do the job properly.🤦 Delivery would have been faster, and much less "couldn't be arsed" had it been chucked in the regular post. Probably cheaper, too.🤬
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
By deity, I'm an old grump today! 😂
Mike 🇬🇧 🇪🇺I'm not happy (understatement) with DHL.
Apparently they "couldn't access my address" this evening.
In truth I'm pretty sure the driver was running late and thought 'sod it, let's take this back to the depot'.
I've written to the sender, and filled in a comment on the DHL website - neither of which will result in any resolution.
I rarely have the courier issues other people report, so this is frustrating particularly as I thought DHL were on the reputable side of crap.
Tuomas TammistoThis is an important decision: food #couriers in #Finland recognized as employees by the Supreme Administrative Court.
I wrote some quick reflections on the decision and the struggle for courier worker rights.

Greem (Graeme. Not Graham!)COURIERS: Stop asking "How did we do?" every single time you deliver something.
If the thing was delivered, congratulations, well done on participating, have a sticker. No medal because delivering things is your raison d'etre, after all. It's what we pay you for.
If it was damaged, broken, late or not delivered at all - THEN ask me how you did. I will gladly explain in short, easy to understand words.
