Never had a problem with MyHermes BUT, how they operate is downright criminal. They pay around 50p per delivery (that includes however many attempts it takes to get someone in) so are not paying a living wage. They target unemployed people who can sit around all day to receive their parcel drop, or be available to deliver at a particular time. This means no income tax is being paid, and undeclared income on the side constitutes benefit fraud. Added to this, there is also no way at these rates that the required courier insurance is being paid, which makes the delivery ILLEGAL. Also if said unemployed uninsured delivery person can't work that day for whatever reason, it is their responsibility to find someone to stand in, so f*ck knows who the guy handling your parcel actually is. People can moan about post office prices, but at least the postie isn't committing benefit fraud, insurance fraud, dodging taxes and turn up in clothes he hasn't washed for a week stinking of piss and booze.
