• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

What would you do?

I ordered some flap wheels off eBay last Sunday. I needed them during the week.

Unluckily, they use Yodel. Yodel, as in 'we are redefining the standards for non-delivery'.

Two days now it's been flagged up as 'Out for delivery' but it never shows up as we are right at the end of the drivers route and chances are if there's nothing else in the immediate vicinity then it's so easy for the man with a white van to say 'address not found' and sling it back to the depot.

But, there is satnav. I have given Yodel my mobile number in case of difficulty. So 'address not found' is not a valid reason IMO.

I see it is out yet again for delivery today. If it is the same driver as the previous two days I am tempted to tell him to shove it and refuse delivery. The need has now gone and/or I can get them from elsewhere in the future.

What would you do ?
 
When I saw ebay in the first line I thought this was going to be about a different kind of non delivery.

I've been experiencing non delivery from ebay trade sellers - people who sell products continuously. I think it is a tactic to avoid bad feedback...

I ordered 20 lampholders to redo my garden lights. Seller advises despatch next day. Week later nothing arrives. Contact seller and ask where are goods. Seller says give it a few more days and we will resend if no delivery. still no goods. sellers says sorry out of stock now can you wait? reply no, get refund no chance to leave negative feedback and seller kept the chance of a sale when he did have more to sell.

Happened a few times now and with amazon sellers too. I'm sure goods were never sent and its just an out of stock dodge.

Anyway way off topic :)

I'd let them deliver. The effort of fighting ebays system after refusing delivery is not worth it.
 
It seems to be that due to the noise embargo you will not be able to use them today so I suggest you wait in today for them. Maybe take a deck chair and some sarnies to the end of the lane to make sure Yodel do not drive past.

If another no show then cancel, order from Axi and watch the live updates on the DPD website.

Or give them an alternative delivery address of you local pub then sit and wait for them there.
