An Edinburgh worker was left horrified when their Evri delivery was left in a waste bin in front of their house whilst they were out.
Iuliia Vlasova, 24, who works as a reporter with Edinburgh Live, said that Evri (formerly Hermes), had left a present that had been delivered by them in one of her waste bins.
The incident took place on the afternoon of Saturday, June 11 and Iuliia says that this is not the first time that she has experienced problems with the issue.
She said that she found it “offensive” that a courier would leave the parcel in a waste bin and added that she is “unhappy” with Evri for their treatment of customers.
On the incident, Iuliia said: “When I was out in Perth for a Potfest (ceramics festival), Evri - former Hermes - delivered my parcel.
“I’m generally unhappy with Hermes as it delivered a parcel to a wrong address twice already.
“But this time it was quite something else as I could have never imagined a delivery driver being inventive enough to leave my parcel in a rubbish bin.
“They could’ve left it behind the bin and that would’ve been fine, but in it?
“I know I might be taking it too seriously, but it felt rather offensive to find a long awaited package with a present for myself in a waste bin.
“Unfortunately, Hermes changed its brand name but the level of service is still far from good.
“The pure disrespect left me speechless and if it was up to me, I would not choose Hermes delivery, but unfortunately the majority of companies use their services.
“I hope for more common sense from the local driver as I’m expecting another parcel soon.”
Evri apologised for the incident and said that they would be speaking to the courier to ensure that this problem does not occur again.
A spokesperson for Evri said: “We apologise for the inconvenience of the delivery location which is clearly not a safe place and we will address this with the local courier.”
