…this is a Yodel delivery. Or more realistically, let’s be fair, an abandonment. This photo was taken from the roadside at the end of my drive. Apparently going about 100m down the drive to ensure the parcel was safely delivered wasn’t something this particular Yodel driver was prepared to do.
Just as well it didn’t rain, or some unscrupulous person didn’t drive past and think “I’ll have that”, though in all honesty I doubt the driver cared at all. “Not his problem.”
I believe this is an inevitable consequence of the race to the bottom between courier businesses to provide yet cheaper and cheaper services. Once they’ve taken the parcel off the supplier their job is pretty much done. Maybe, perhaps, most of the time, they’ll probably delivery it, but really they’re not paid enough to give a stuff. See my postings from a couple of days ago about delivery of two telescopes. DPD and UPS are sadly no better 🙁
