30+ year old white goods can have one !
Our second fridge (beer fridge) has stopped chillin’. Went get a beer and it was ‘cool’ not ‘cold’.
Fuck you planned obsolescence !

Vaguely connected, this happened on the latest delivery.
That was the inner packaging, the outer had also been stabbed by something.
Unless Stratford has seceded due to the Reform idiots in Warwickshire council this didn’t come from outside the UK…
They really are nothing but a bunch of clowns. I had an amp delivered to the wrong house and they did nothing but lie to me throughout the entire episode. I have a Postie friend who told me what had actually happened and what they had done about it (absolutely nothing).
We receive mail sporadically and often for the wrong house, as does the rest of our postcode.
I’d sooner rely on Evri now.
Wait, you phoned me up, so no, I will not be giving you my address “just for data protection”.
But whoever wrote your happy horseshit script can have a punch in the cock.

Jenrick can have yet another one.
On Peston he said “… since I have been Shadow Chancellor…”
You are not the Shadow Chancellor you cunt, Mel Stride is, as he is part of the official opposition.
You are just the economic spokesman for a party with 8 MPs.
Even worse, no one on the program even challenged this

“Evri the new Hermes”
Attaining new levels of uselessness that Hermes couldn’t dream of.
Parcel has been "in transit’ for 10 days now and even the company can’t get more detail from them despite it being Evri Business rather than the standard throw it over the fence at the wrong address service
Company has been decent though, said if it doesn’t update or get delivered by next week they’ll send another by DHL.
Based on what I learned from Sarah during her time there, levels of incompetence that even their insanely piss poor service delivery doesn’t actually convey. It’s quite insane how the fuck it actually functions and keeps hold of contracts.
DHL and Evri are essentially the same company in the UK, so good luck with that.
I’m waiting for a dog crate to be delivered and when I heard that the carrier was DHL I died a little bit inside.
Given the size of the operations, I was slightly surprised to hear from a contact quite how much of their accounting is just on spreadsheets.
I’m guessing it’s cheap.
We want stuff delivered but we don’t want to pay what delivery actually costs. The courier sector will, no doubt, be very competitive and we, the customers, still prefer to shop online and then get messed about by the couriers rather than get off our bums and go and buy stuff in a shop. Maybe Evri are just the least worst option ?
Luckily for us, our ‘local’ Evri/DHL/Amazon deliveries are done by a subcontractor who lives up the road. He and his wife are brilliant 
Luckily evri around here are very good. But I don’t understand why anyone selling something over £50 or fragile uses them.
I want my item that I post to get to the buyer as quick as possible so it’s not kicking around in a warehouse for days.
Wherever possible I used Royal Mail 24 and hardly had any problems worth mentioning. Other than wanting to pay me in stamps when an item went missing

I find it puzzling that when I go to the Royal Mail post office on the high street they always ask if I’d like to send it cheaper via Evri (err, do I fuck, I want it to arrive). Why are RM staff doing this?
Guess as PO is not part of RM they are free to suggest whatever service gives them the most profit.

The one I always find amusing is USPS, have ordered a watch strap from crown and buckle in the US and I know it takes a while now.
The funny part is looking at the tracking and seeing pages of depots/warehouses/airports in the list as it flies back and forth from one side of the US to the other like a yo-yo.
Car main dealers can have one with a hefty double cockpunch.
The tailgate on my Honda civic won’t open (estate), I located the problem, the press switch handle. Took it out, took it apart and all it is, is a button microswitch. No serviceable parts on it. Maindealer price for the part £148 plus fitting charge of £150 plus vat. Its just a £2 microswitch in a cheap moulding but have to buy a complete unit. 45 minutes work to remove the trim , isolate the problem and order a 12 month guaranteed oem switch from an ebay scrappy £22 .A big difference from £300 +. Robbing sods, hell of a profit being made under the guise of overheads. Difficult to justify that pricing.

Yup, every time I take my car into VW it’s £200 diagnostic fee, robbing cunts
