Have been wating for a package from Dixons for three days now - to be delivered by Yodel. First delivery failed and they left a card - except of course they didn't. They didn't even come to the house but tracking info said a card had been left. I called the customer services number (10p/min) and, because our house can be tricky to find, gave the agent a detailed set of instructions on how to find us plus our home number so the driver could call us if he couldn't find the house. Next day - package...

I ordered an item through Tesco Direct for in store collection - all ran smoothly until i got the item home and it was faulty.... that's where Home Delivery Network step in. Because of it being an exchange they could not deliver to the store and I needed to sit in from 7am to 7pm on Friday for HDNL to collect the faulty one and deliver a replacement. At 6.45pm I get a text telling me they're not coming they'll come Saturday morning. Saturday they don't show. I call again on Sunday to find out what's...

Goods were dispatched yesterday but the van never delivered and returned to the depot with the goods. I was told yesterday that the goods would come today and have now only been told after chasing them up that the goods are not even on the van. I must now wait and see if they will deliver tomorrow....

On Wednesday of last week I purchased a polaroid camera on Amazon.co.uk with guaranteed next day delivery (For Thursday 17th May). I needed it for Monday 21st May for my Photography A levels, and I thought by paying for next day delivery I would definitely get it in time. I received an email from Amazon Wednesday evening that the item had successfully reached HDNLs depot station and would be sent out in the morning. The day came and went, and unfortunately the camera did not arrive. After contacting...

I have ordered several items from amazon.co.uk in the past and, when delivered by Royal Mail, the items have arrived when promised. However, even when ordered for 'next day delivery' - particularly when that day is a Saturday - HDNL take it upon themselves to reinterpret that promise as 'when we can be bothered'. The sooner Amazon drop their connection to this company the better....

I received text at 9:00 that delivery will be today between 7am -1pm. I was waiting all day at home. No one came, no calling card, so I thought that something's wrong. Checked the track, I was shocked - packege has been delivered at 10:18! Who have signed that? I'll not speak about details, I have very rude neighbour on the front of building, I live on the back. He is the only person who could took this package at that time. I tried to contact him - problem... HDNL has no idea how many problems...

Awful, just awful. I say this after six out of seven of my deliveries were late in the last two months. At least there call centre people are well trained in giving bad news. Complained to Amazon, but they stopped extending my Prime membership after the third late delivery. Now I just get a stock e-mail. I've now stopped ordering from Amazon and check that who I do buy from doesn't use HDNL/Yodel. ...

I'm in my 60's and this is my first experience with home delivery after buying an item from Amazon. I have to say it will most likely be my last! After finding what I wanted for a good price I decided to buy it, then I saw the delivery options, I opted for 'Next Day Delivery'.... That night I received an email saying the item had been dispatched - great I thought! Unfortunately it didn't say an estimated time so I had to wait in the house all day...so I waited...and waited...by around 4pm I was...

It looks like HDNL is singlehandedly bringing the mail order business to its knees, an impressive feat. The complaints keep rolling in and nobody does anything about it. I would like to add my own moan which obviously will have as much effect as the thousands of the other complaints. Ordered a laptop for a cancer patient in the Midlands from Amazon so I could set it up for him with his special needs. All was well as the laptop arrived in the HDNL Hordean depot (Which by the way is DHL apparently)...

No idea why Amazon use this company for deliveries, but if Amazon says something is despatched and is GUARANTEED to be delivered on a certain date, it should be delivered on that date. Case in point, a friend ordered a mouse mat for me for my birthday, paid extra for next day delivery, the email said, Item despatched and included this snippet: Dispatched via Home Delivery Network Limited (guaranteed delivery date : Monday, April 30, 2012). Indeed, the home delivery website says "On or before the...

Why do HDNL even bother giving you a tracking number? They state that the package is loaded onto the van and out for delivery, then don't even bother showing up after you've waited in all day??? Do these people think that we have nothing better to do than sit at home twiddling out thumbs?

I bought a gaming mice on Amazon, and I selected the Prime one day delivery. Guess what ? I have been waiting for 10 days!

This is not the first time HDNL tracking system shows the parcel is out for delivery only to then see it is back in their depot. No-one called, rang, knocked any of the times they purported to have tried to deliver. You can of course arrange for it to be delivered 'at a more convenient time'- they are suggesting of course that you being in all day waiting for your delivery not convenient. They might as well put their deliveries in bottles and throw them in the sea. If I could order things with the...

Whenever anything is sent to me from Amazon using HDNL it is almost always day after next, or day after day after next, rather than next day delivery as I expect as a Prime member. When Royal Mail or CitiLink is used, there isn't a problem. Unfortunately use of HDNL seems to be becoming more common. I got so fed up with this that I insisted that Amazon cancel my Prime membership with immediate effect and refund me pro-rata, which to their credit they have done, albeit after a little badgering.

No stars at all for this so-called Courier- this is not the first time they have not delivered on time.I ordered an item from Amazon paying alot extra for next day delivery - but the item did not arrive. Upon speaking to HDNL I was informed that the item was received into their depot too late to go on their delivery truck for that day ( the item was scanned in to their depot at 4.48am). We have also had previous items simply disappear once they get to HDNL.
I shall never order anything from Amazon or anywhere else that uses HDNL.
