What a pathetic excuse for a (non) delivery company

Advantages: ZERO in fact sub zero
Disadvantages: More than I have space to write up on!

...when you look at the wealth of reviews given over by sites like this one. Also try and write a negative review. I'll tell you now, on the basis I've written two, it won't appear ! Shame on you Hermes/Pacelnet. So for the reality this is what you can expect when dealing with hermes/Parcelnet Non existent contact phone numbers Unanswered e-mails Dishonest drop card reporting Courier who will not take calls Head office who couldn't give a toss I implore you, do not use Hermes/Parcelnet, they are by far and away the most appalling company on this planet. Again I implore you, check with your supplier whether they use Hermes. If they do, tell them "no thanks" and take your business elsewhere. In the long run you'll be very glad you did and perhaps, just perhaps, this excuse for a delivery company will wonder what it's doing wrong. Who...

Review of Hermes Parcel delivery

Not Special Delivery and not by 9am

Advantages: Good for people who are at home all day.
Disadvantages: No answer calling depot, re-arrange delivery is ignored and all blame each other.

...I found a Special Delivery item was sent to me as standard by a ticket agent. I wasn't in because although Special Delivery letters are guaranteed to be there by 9am, it said 10:22 on the note. There's a 50/50 chance that I will be at home until 9am but never after 10am. I went online and arranged for the letter to go to my local postoffice by Saturday. I was given a receipt from the Royal Mail website clearly stating the postoffice and the date the letter would be there. All I had to do was take ID and sign at the PO. On the Saturday however, I was in my house and at 10am was amazed to see a delivery note apparently posted through my door at 08:57. I had been in all morning so they could not have knocked the door. What's worse is that this meant my letter was on a posties round, in a bag, rather than in my nearby post office...

Review of Royal Mail Special Delivery Next Day

Meguiars Quick Detailer

Advantages: Easy to use and has pleasant aroma
Disadvantages: Price is a little steep

...Quik Detailer is the missing link between washes. Simply spray on and wipe off with a Meguiar's Supreme Shine Microfibre or a 100% cotton terry towel. Quik Detailer removes contaminants safely without scratching your paint. I was a bit sceptical about this product, but I had been convinced by a friend to try it. In a word "WOW" this product is amazing and so simple to use, wash and wax the car as normal and then when ever it rains or the car gets covered in dust just mist and wipe. Mist one panel at a time wipe on dry off its that simple, and the finish is outstanding as it states on the label the whole car can be done in about 15 minutes. I did mine in exactly 15 minutes and I have an average size saloon, the finish is like glass and the shine is blinding. And as a bonus it actually takes out light swirl marks...

Review of Meguiars Quick Detailer

You will probably know them by another name!

Advantages: They have lots of couriers
Disadvantages: They are unreliable

...I buy quite a lot of things online and that means that I am often on the receiving end of deliveries. I live in a rural area which means deliveries can arrive at all times of the day so it is hard to plan your day if you are waiting for a delivery. Parcel firms vary in their efficiency and with a postal strike looming (again!) I guess more and more people will be having parcels delivered by this sort of company. Now you might well think that Hermes are a new player in the game. So did I when I was chasing up a delivery on goods I had ordered two weeks earlier. The online shop I had ordered from told me that they did all their deliveries through Hermes so I went to look them up online. It seems Hermes used to be Parcelnet and the minute I realised that my heart sank. They are the one carrier that seems to be very...

Review of Hermes Parcel delivery

Wahl, what a close shave i had with these...

Advantages: Easy to use, lightweight and trims without tugging
Disadvantages: cutting edges can become a little warm after a while

...a month to help hide my baldness, but as I had previously used Wahl hair trimming products I decided to bite the bullet, so to speak, and invest in what I hoped would last for quite some time. That was nearly a year ago now and the yucky browny purple coloured hair trimmers are still going strong. This trimmer itself is great for shaving my head, plus, what I really found was a boon about it was it that it is brilliant for the finer details around the edges, such as side burns and the back of my neck, maybe even them tramlines as well, (although I don?t have any tram lines in what?s left of my hair). The electric cable is of a good length so you?re not stuck to that plug socket near the floor, forcing you to kneel down in a dodgy position until you?ve finished the job in hand. The three cutting guides are a good quality rigid plastic...

Review of Wahl Wahl Detailer Professional Detailing Hair Trimmer

Every Detail picked up clearly

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

..., the camera seems to have a wide pick up range. Still photos came out clearly and sharply focused, with every little freckle being picked up clearly, although one feature this camera doesn't have (or that I have yet to find) is a timer to take photos, which is a shame - no longer can I twirl in my new dress from across the room and know that the camera will take a photo every 30 seconds so i can pick a nice one. However, while it lacks that one feature, it does have some fun effects that can be applied to both stills and video - sepia , black and white, pop-art - all manner of fun stuff to make pictures and video interesting . You can even apply crowns to your head, or talk as an animated dinosaur! Its a pretty nice looking camera too, a polished shiny black with silver detailing and the microphone built in at one end. The flexible weighted...

Did you order a Domino's special delivery Madam

Advantages: Less stress, knowing your midwife
Disadvantages: none I can see

...My first childs birth was the traditional hospital birth, into the hospital at the first twinge of labour, hooked up to belt monitors with the labour ward just to busy to wander around clinging onto the walls everytime you got a contraction. Don't get me wrong it was a great birth and an efficient one, despite my son being born by ventouse delivery due to feotal distress (his skull bones fused in the womb and his head was just not squishy enough apparently). However when it came to my second pregnancy almost 4 years after I was a member of my community health council and had heard of a new schem them called a "DOMINO" delivery. I knew it meant you could progress most of your labour at home and then go to hospital with the midwife just before the birth, but apart from that I didn't know alot about it. However it was new and so I...

Under Construction

Advantages: TBA
Disadvantages: TBA

...This review is being rewritten at the moment, and will reappear when I'm happy with it. I'm currently rewriting all of my old reviews to make them better and more in line with 'proper' reviews like you see on the liks of Pitchfork or Stylus, and naturally that's going to take a bit of work. Sorry for being massively inconvinient, but that's just how I roll, folks! I'll try to rewrite this review as quickly as possible, but for the moment I've written a basic guide to the album below which should hopefully serve as a place holder until my glorious full and proper review is created. Details by Frou Four, a duo made up of singer Imogen Heap and producer Guy Sigsworth. I give the album 4/5. The best songs you'll find here are "Let Go", "The Dumbing Down Of Love" and "Maddening Shroud". I recommend you avoid "Psychobabble" and "Flicks...

Review of Details [ECD] - Frou Frou

Five Details...

Advantages: A little insight...
Disadvantages: Who Cares Exactly?

...I thought it was about time I did an All About Me. I've been ciaoing for over five years (most of it quite badly) and am gradually procedding through the coloured dots. I couldn't face the I was born on the 7th february 1981 in a hospital in Sunderland to 22-year-old parents stuff and I don't have a middle name, so I thought I'd sum it up in a little survey. My favourite number is 9 but I think five is plenty... + + + FIVE DETAILS ABOUT ME + + + 1. I have a lot of phobias, because I'm strange like that. I'm absolutely petrified of mushrooms. Ugh, I shuddered then just to prove it. I would love to tell you all just how and why I am scared but I really can't bring myself to discuss the awful fungi (hehe well that's a good start huh?). I am also scared of making phone calls. Not answering the phone, but making phone calls. It...

Review of All About Me

Never again

Advantages: Door to door promised. Should have been fully trackable online.
Disadvantages: Desperately slow. Response to complaints very slow. Driver didn't attempt delivery when he said.

...must have reached the depths of their 'system' as I received a reply saying that the driver had tried to deliver the parcel, but there was no one in, and he had left a calling card. Not so - the building was occupied all day, reception was staffed, and people were milling around, but no one had set eyes on the mystery delivery man. Then the parcel details disappeared off their system completely. More emails. It was eventually delivered today, by, and I quote the residents, a 'rather unpleasant man who was about to walk away without delivering anything yet again' (and he actually had another parcel for another person in building as well!) Luckily he was cornered before he left and the parcels arrived safely. I figure my parcel would have been quicker and safer with the RM even though they were on strike! Almost 2 weeks from start...
