# Email from AliExpress:

Your parcel has moved two centimetres to the right. We will update you as soon as it moves.

# Another email from AliExpress:

It has moved! Your parcel has moved another two centimetres to the right.

# Email from UK parcel delivery company:

We have your parcel. It is probably somewhere in the UK, between arrival and departure. At some point, we will chuck it in your general direction. Your driver's name will be Ethan.

Being in the EU and buying something from the UK:

click buy

5 hours later: “Your package has arrived at the UK distribution centre. We will email you again when it is en route to your country.”

A month later: “Your package has been shipped.”

The next day: “Your package has arrived at your country’s depot and will be delivered today.”

3 hours later: “Your package has been delivered.”

Every time you order anything from Amazon it all seems to come from a distribution center in France. Even though there is a distribution center in the UK, they never seem to actually use it. I think it's just there for decoration to make Reading seems likely more interesting of a place.

I bought 5 things from a seller on ebay and for some reason they decided to send them in individual packages. All 5 arrived at the depot, 20 minutes from my house at the same time and they then sat there for a week. I then proceeded to have 1 arrive per day over 5 days.

Well done evri, you are idiots.

You got your packages though, that's first class service from E^v^Ri, normally they end up in a hedge.

[–] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 2 points 2 weeks ago

Evri? Well, that explains it.

Meanwhile, when you order from Wish you will receive no order updates whatsoever. But they'll send an email after three months asking you if by any chance your package happened to show up.

It’s gone

I've been in Perry Hall! Even hiked along Gunpowder River.

[–] TheLightItBurns@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Next time you are there, you might have to check the creek. You never know what you may find. (Probably fish, maybe trash… possibly a pair of new in box headphones in an abandoned box… who knows it’s a surprise!)

One of the first times I went there, I had recently started experimenting (to a very mild degree) with fashion. In this case, I was trying out wearing sort of a chain necklace. Unfortunately, while I was swimming, it broke and fell off, so I figured it to be lost forever.

The next year, I came back to swim in the same spot, having completely forgotten the necklace, but was very pleased to discover it had gotten lodged under a rock and thus not traveled far at all from where I originally lost it.

[–] TheLightItBurns@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

That is a fun story! Glad your surprise package happened to be your chain!

Amazon shipping updates:

Package left center
Package arrived at center
Package left center
Package is out for delivery
Package is 10 stops away
Package is delayed
You didn't get it yet? Man, that's a bummer. Give it like 4 days and then you might be allowed to open a ticket.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Here's a picture of your driver's shoes to "prove" we "delivered" the package.

[–] ProgrammingSocks@pawb.social 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What courier is this? I've never had that problem in Canada

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 2 weeks ago

Evri, they used to be called Hermes but there was so incompetent and crooked that businesses stopped wanting to work with them because they will have to pay out for all of the lost packages. So they rebranded hooping no one would notice. The are just as bad and lazy and incompetent and thieving as they were before, except now they do it in a van with the most ugly logo in the history of all corporate design.

The only reason they have any business at all is because they subcontract out for other delivery companies who don't have enough drivers on any particular day. No one intentionally uses them.

Literally today I got an update from Alibaba telling me the actual flight number of my shipment including the departure and landing time of the flight. Canada Post also sent me an update today saying my package was redirected due to a processing error and that there is a possible delay.

[–] BilSabab@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

it gets funnier when distribution centers are destroyed by drones and missiles and you get letters about your package status going from "the center is busted, the package is likely probably gone" to "lucky you, we found it! but it is a chunk of coal. But we found it!"

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes that's a universal experience I'm sure we can all relate to.

[–] BilSabab@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

just wait a little.
