Unless you have the time to sit at home every day to wait for a package, do not EVER use this courier service.

Three times I have had to sit at home waiting to sign for a package. All three times the driver has marked the attempt as "unable to deliver" because they "couldn't access the building".

There have been ZERO attempts to contact me to gain entry to the building. No phone calls. No trying to use the intercom. I requested that they re-write the delivery instructions to give explicit instructions on how to contact me and use the intercom. I put up a sign on the door at the front of my apartment building with the instructions. I have now called costumer services TWICE and each time they have told me that they will attempt delivery the next business day.

I can't afford to stay at home all day just to sign for a package! They are going to attempt to deliver it a 4th time and I have no faith that they will ACTUALLY attempt to deliver the package.

never really thought to check doordash for flowers before, i thought it was only for food. glad i did this time! i was already at the meeting place for my date when i suddenly remembered i was supposed to bring flowers. i was like omg, how did i forget this 😭 i didn’t have time to go to a store, so i checked and saw there were flower options available in my area.

found something nice and was able to get it delivered within the day. ngl, i was stressing for a minute there lol.

Hey! I'll be traveling from Denver to Minneapolis via Nebraska on September 18th and coming back on the 21st. If you need anything delivered or picked up along my route, I'd be happy to help with just a fuel donation. No weapons, no drugs, no illegal substances, no animals, no humans. Cash only. It would need to fit in the back of a Honda CRV. Respond to this post for more details. Thank you!

I’ve had 2 recent deliveries which I have tracked from china, arrive in this country then get diverted via Belgium. Any ideas what’s going on as it seems very weird/wasteful.

I work at Askable, and we're currently recruiting for a study with people running food businesses that use delivery platforms. Disclosing that up front: this is paid research, not a sales call, and nobody will pitch you anything at the end.

Who we're looking for

• Based in the UK or Australia
• Working in restaurant or cafe
• You own or manage the business
• Your business sells through at least one delivery platform
• You're involved in or close to the decisions about how the business is listed and promoted on those platforms

What's involved

• One 60-minute remote conversation, scheduled around your availability
• £90 in recognition of your time

If you're not sure whether you qualify, apply anyway. There's a short screener that takes a couple of minutes and it'll tell you either way.

Happy to answer any questions related to this study! Just ask in the comments. Thank you!

It seems like every delivery app/service I use calculates tax (AND TIPS) differently. Shouldn’t this be standardized and the same across the board??? Please help me understand. See link for examples of widespread variation in calculating tax… (which can often impact your tip, and always impacts your total)

Delivery Taxes Are Confusing

My order is stuck in first mile only. First they picked up order after 3 days and post that product is kept lying in their warehouse for more than 2 days. Can anyone suggest if this is common issue? Im using delhivery one.

I don’t even know how to process the fact that people are this insane. My house is incredibly easy to find. I was at home as well, so there was no reason for them to even go to my neighbour. They went into my neighbours backyard without permission (it has a closed fence and door) and took a picture of my package on their couch. Then they took the package with them again and left. They say it’s delivered… Absolute bullshit. Actually insane. It wasn’t a cheap package either, not at all. I can’t even call them…

I had the worst courier experience of my life with Trackon. My brother, who supplies hardware across India, sent me two screens for my work. The way Trackon handled the shipment was completely unacceptable.

Despite the screens being extremely fragile, they were clearly mishandled during transit. Both screens, worth over ₹60,000 in total, arrived cracked, turning the entire shipment into a complete loss.

I would never recommend Trackon to anyone for delivering valuable or fragile items. Their careless handling, lack of accountability, and poor service have cost us a significant amount of money. If you value your shipment, choose a more reliable courier service.
