We bought an expensive (over £100) planter made of concrete for the front garden as a bit of a statement piece in she who must be obeyed 's garden in the new house.
The puddle jumper driver dropped it in the doorway and got the missus to sign for it whilst standing in front of it…as he walked off being a smug git I appeared.
It’s basically a cube…and seven of its eight corners are damaged , the packaging was ■■■■ but when I tried to stop him from driving away to write Damaged on the delivery note he did not give a ■■■■ and said “contact the company then, Its signed for”
Well pal I hope your agency can find you more work because when I have finished with the company and Yodels transport manager you will not be there any more.
And the rear lights were broke as was the number plate and that pic is on its way to someone who can give you real ■■■■ !!!
He must have been agency…Yellow high vis , sunglasses and mobile ph earpiece and that gimpy look ! I must be getting old and sensible as a few yrs back he would have been battered.
Revenge will be mine, Especially as it was paid for by credit card anyway.
I bet the driver had a limp, and yes, you have consumer rights paying on the credit card, what a knob of a driver, just thinks of himself to clock off early.Twonker
Email Dvsa to report defective lights .

To be fair pai, he probably doesn’t care if you get your money back. I wouldn’t as I get paid to deliver not supply.
But I agree with you, yodel generally are arsrhole cowboys and I’d rather send my stuff by carrier pigeon than use them
Always have a chuckle at people who order heavy, fragile or expensive ■■■■ off the internet, then complain about damage. Pallet network pallets may have been in the “care” of 4 drivers and 7 forklift drivers before getting to you, only the last man gives a toss because he has to put up with moaning customers, I imagine parcel companies are the same.
Why order logs or top soil off the net then moan cos its left at the end of your driveway?
A local fella would barrow them round the back for a few quid extra.
In the same way, had you gone to a garden centre in your own car, examined said planter, lifted it carefully into the boot, strapped it down, driven home like Miss Daisy, you would have a perfect planter, might have cost you a few quid more mind.
Everyone wants champagne service for lemonade money.
I worked for Nightfrieght for a while ( 6 months , long enough ) and it was damage damage damage . I once saw a model kids electric Ferrari car , no packaging sat in the corner of the box absolutely knackered. They’d loaded everything on top of it , the axles were bent and it was scatched all over.I came out of Manchester depot one night in a 7.5 ton MAN . I thought it’s a bit slow up the M62 , I called in at the weighbridge at Gildersome and it grossed out a 9.5 ton.As they were self insured no one gave a ■■■■ and I suspect it’s the same at most companys in this line of work.

Buy it cheap buy it twice.
Typical twunt buying cheap crap off tinternet then expecting premium quality goods on arrival. How is the delivery driver responsible for the damage unless you saw him deliberately break it.
On the plus side contact cc company and reject goods as not fit for purpose under distance selling regulations. This may be tricky though as you have received the goods and not been able to record them as damaged on delivery so your refund maybe reduced for the damage.
How your going to have the last laugh when your to bone idle to fetch one yourself is beyond me…

So you’re blaming the delivery driver who is the last person out of several to handle it because the people you bought it from did a crappy job of packing it which you even admit was the case and you would’ve kicked the crap out of him even though it wasn’t his fault? Perhaps your missus should’ve bought it from a better place and not the one which did the cheapest postage.
What an absolute utter bellend you are.
Should’ve gone and picked it up yourself if you wanted to guarantee it would arrive undamaged assuming you can drive without the view of the road being blocked by the balls hanging from your forehead.
Order from the cheapest source over the interweb.
Then it will be handled at least 7 times before delivery by fork truck and pallet truck.
Pallet networks say “kerbside delivery” so don’t bother asking it to be dragged up your shingle driveway.
Get what you pay for.
Save your local garden centre and get quality service for a few quid more.

But they still do ask, and tend to get rather annoyed when you tell them there is no way you can get their ton pallet of chuckie stones up the drive way and onto the grass. “But the jewsons driver managed it last week when he delivered the bricks”.[emoji35] [emoji35] [emoji35]
