Evri Parcel Delivery

[fourteen85]

I think this is a scam, Ive had a text today purporting to be from Evri (Hermes) saying there was a failed delivery to me yesterday, click here to re arrange and pay 1.99. i am not expecting anything to be delivered

£1.99? It's gone up! It used to be only £1.45!

Scam! Scam! Scam!

if you haven't ordered anything, and nobody else is sending you anything, that's a pretty clear sign.

[ladybirder]

They did that to me. I ignored it and still got the parcel the next day or the day after that.

[THECORBYLOON]

If it were genuine, would the text not have been sent yesterday, the day of the failed attempt?

I'm also not aware of Evri charging for a re-delivery.

[ladybirder]

Oh, and I had been in all day as well so I know nobody had tried to deliver it.

[dustypuss]

I contacted evri about this and thay say there is never a redelivery charge . Its a scam

[Hymie]

Even if I was expecting a courier delivery, why would they charge me because they failed to make a delivery?

If ever such charges were to be applied, they should be placed on the sender not the recipient (now there’s a new angle for the scammers).

And why would hermes have your phone number

[calmck]

All the delivery companies I use have my phone number for directions or to text when they are on the way

I track mine online if its important

[bobbinwales]

My point is that when I order something online my contract is with the seller. I have not give my detail's to any seperate courier . So I would be very suspicious of any email or text from a courier...so I would either ignore the text or track the parcel with the sellers website
