hissingsid Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 A notice has appeared on Facebook asking if anyone down the south of the Island had parcels ordered Dec / Jan. The police are holding a large number of parcels that have had invoices and address labels removed. This has also appeared on the police page. Sorting this lot out should be fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omobono Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 it isn't another case similar to the one last year where the Covid test kits were involved ? , does any one know what happened there or is it yet to come before the courts , seems an all too familiar ring to all these parcels going missing and non delivery , I understand some companies will not deliver to the Isle of man anymore so it urgently requires sorting out ,and those involved with the case having their just deserts in court or the Jurby Hilton . just gets the Island a bad name ! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 All part of the race to the bottom...casual labour and their own vehicles used in the name of allegedly making things cheaper for the consumer. Who are the real beneficiaries again...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone wants things cheaper so suppliers use Hermès who can’t cope with volume & employ anyone without checks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katman Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I sent a parcel with Hermes to the USA a while ago. They lost it, so I told them as I had taken out the insurance offered, please pay me the value of the contents which was around £350.00. They managed to find the parcel. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon whilst they do deliver, they won’t deliver some items/products. Cost and Health&Safety carriage concerns (battery related items/mobile phones).

Some local retailers are better than others I should add. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive never once had an issue with Hermes from a delivery perspective. I’ve normally found them more reliable than IOM Post whose current service is shocking. You’re probably delivering to yourself!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeps the money on the island where they pay local taxes etc. If more people shopped locally then the shops may start to carry more stock Edited March 30, 2022 by Passing Time 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slinkydevil Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 They can keep my 'items sent in discreet packaging' - I'm not coming down to identify it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wright Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 11 minutes ago, offshoremanxman said: I ordered a battery for my car the other week. Courier via DHL was included in the price it arrived before 12 the following morning and was at least £30 cheaper than I could get the same battery from here. Last few times I’ve had a guaranteed next day delivery from the UK from IOM post it took an average of 3 days. IOM Post are shocking. I think you might mean that The Post Office in the UK is shocking. IoM Post aren’t responsible until it actually hits Ronaldsway and the sorting office. It’s that getting it to the departure depot airport, and onto a plane in a timely manner, by The Post Office, that lets down the guarantee. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
