The delivery driver was working at that time, why wasn’t the receptionist!?
edit: Thanks to everyone who’s pointed out that this is a scam - and who gave advice/or worried about me. I was half asleep this morning, it didn’t click (though I did notice that the url wasn’t evri - I’m too used to vendors passing me over to third party websites). It doesn’t help that the evri helpline is robots only. No bank details lost though.
parcel-postcode.com? They’re calling you “Evri Member Service” in the salutation?
My brother in Christ this is a scam email. Do not give them your credit card information.
I’m so on edge, OP hasn’t responded again. I hope he didn’t pay them
It looks like it’s definitely a scam.
Check out the URL - is this not a phishing scam?
I believe it is. What stands out to me is £1.04+ vat is not £1.45!!!
Bro it’s a scam email
Op if this was text please forward it to 7726 to report the scam.
Please freeze your card, many banks you can do this directly through your banking app.
Please notify your bank so they can help more.
Remember, if something looks off it probably is. As you said why would everi be out delivering in the middle of the night? £1.04 + VAT is £1.25 also why would they be displaying an ex-vat price? Also it’s everi their preference would be to put it in a safe place (such the wheelie bin you put out for emptying) than redeliver.
Thanks for the heads up. Yep most definitely a scam. Woke up bleary eyed today! No details put into the website, but link followed - maybe need to close that email down :/
Better question, what kind of a scam company charges for redelivery?
They don’t this is phishing.
Hermes… Oh wait, they rebranded as Evri because of bad reputation.
It’s somewhat beside the point that the recipient has no contract with Evri to deliver, that’s all on the sender; what should happen is the recipient just ignores the redelivery charge notice and tells the sender that it hasn’t been delivered… Let the two parties to the contract sort it out.
Its a good point [edit: this is what I’ll do]. Of course, there’s a chance that I actually want the thing that I bought. I’d like to be clear that there are much greater injustices, but it is a boring dystopia…
Fucking fed ex has pulled this shit.
Some courier companies do much cheaper shipping but charge redelivery fees because they dont want to have to pay the post office to be a collection point or maintain brick and mortar premesis.
Its fine when you’re expecting it and deliveries happen during business hours but its a rude shock when you buy something and the seller doesnt warn you.
Over here, DPD is the outfit that seems to underbid everyone, maintains their own collection points and then delivers with the worst service humanly possible.
They also use a ton of subcontractors that are outright thieves.
And when they get caught stealing, all DPD does is assign them a different route and they’ll only breach their contract if they actually go to jail for the theft, not for the theft itself, but because they can’t work.
And when they are assigned a different route, there’s a good chance they fill in for their old routes within the month and are right back at your doorstep, not actually delivering your packages again.
Computer store near me caught one driver 4 times in a span of 2 months, the thefts totaled well into the 20K (shitload of GPUs, iPads and other tablets) to then have that same driver show up at his store again 3 months later AND FUCKING STEALING AGAIN.
Don’t forget to tip!
We tried to deliver your package but you were dead. We have imprisoned your widow and charged your children 100 currency units. This quality service announcement was brought to you by Freedom Corp™️ — we’re all family at Freedom Corp™️
Yeah in what world do you need to pay to get your parcel delivered ???
Honestly, its not the cost of delivery. Its that the delivery driver is working at 1:43 am, and that a charge is levied for not being available at this time. Not everyone sleeps at night, but with no warning, I have to reschedule my life to be at my desk at 2am for something I bought? Even if this were delivered to a home address - ringing the doorbell at 2am is shitty.
It looks like the email is a scam! Be careful! Definitely don’t recommend putting your info in there.
Here’s a source, and it pretty accurately describes the email you’re seeing:
Excerpt:
The email prompts you to click on a link to resolve the delivery problem, but the link actually directs to a sophisticated fake Evri website. On this phishing site, victims are asked to enter personal details like name, address, phone number, and even credit card information to pay a “re-delivery fee.”
I doubt they actually attempted the delivery at this time. I’ve had multiple evri drivers mark that they attempted delivery and no one was in when I have been there waiting for them to knock.
Trash company, trash employees.
I understand my post was not confusing. I was questioning why you need to pay twice for a service…
That the delivery was scheduled at that time is a whole other level. Crazy stuff!
I mean the sender already did, right?
Simping for awful companies with awful business practices is one of the weirdest things to come out of the internet.
Who exactly is doing that?
aboringdistopia is just like US citizens complaining about their country imo
Ah yes, the good 'ol American £
Not the US, and not complaining about the country. I agree with @theskyisfalling the driver probably just posted that they had tried to meet quotas or whatever, but the business mechanism that tries to trick you into paying a small amount is a feature not a bug. Whatever way you look at it, it’s a dark pattern that skims money. [edit:spelling is hard]
I suspect you’ve missed the point that it’s highly likely to be a scam and refused to pay, so task failed successfully I guess?
Why would a scammer where the rest of the page looks so legit use such a nonsensical time? While I’m suspicious, I’m interested in hearing from OP if it turns out it isn’t a scam and the parcel company wants their 1.43.
No idea - I’m pulling this out of my arse, but perhaps it was either the time on the scammer’s computer, the server time when it was generated, or the scammer put a sensible time in not realising it would adjust to a nonsensical GMT… time?
Nothing about this seems American. You high?
