Don't Yell for Yodel!
Don't yell for Yodel! That's the message that many customers are sending to mail order firms like Amazon, Littlewoods, Early Learning Centre, Homebase, Tesco, etc.
Yodel appear not to acknowledge that they have a problem, diverting attention from problems by saying that they made many successful deliveries.
However, there have been far too many examples of deliveries not being made to the intended recipient for utterly ludicrous and dubious reasons. Typical claims are that people were not in to receive the parcel when they were at home. That a card was put through a letterbox, when it wasn't. That because the home they were to deliver to was in a remote rural location they could not find it. Even though the address was, in reality, quite close to the centre of a very busy town!
If you cannot get any sense from Yodel or the firm that you have bought the item from (after all it is THEIR responsibility to ensure that you receive the goods you buy from them!) you can try contacting Consumer Direct http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Governmentcitizensandrights/Consumerrights/index.htm who will be able to help tell you either get your goods or your money back.
Complaints to Yodel can be made at http://www.yodel.co.uk/contact-us.aspx.
Also if you bought your goods by credit card then under the current laws you can get your money back from the credit card company.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
We hope that you are able to get and to give whatever Christmas cheer and gifts that you want, and that next year will be a prosperous and joyous one.
We are now closing down for the holidays, although if an urgent story breaks, we might cover it.
If you need to buy an urgent, emergency Christmas present, please remember that you can buy Amazon Gift Vouchers (to either email or print off for the recipient!) at the That's Books Amazon Shop at http://thatsbooks.blogspot.com and everyone loves shopping at Amazon, don't they? So give them the chance to have a good Christmas gift that will look like you planned it well in advance, even though it is, really, all a bit last minute and all courtesy of That's Christmas and That's Books and Amazon!
