Home Delivery Network Driver issues me with death threat
Regular readers of this site will know that the UK delivery firm known as Home Delivery Network have been the subject of a great many posts, with their atrocious attitude towards customers, their appalling delivery record, their racist drivers and hundreds of dissatisfied customers all coming forward on this site.
It’s come to a head now as a delivery driver with Home Delivery Network has issued me with a death threat. I’m honoured, I truly am. Have a read of this imbecile’s comments:

Subject:
im not gonna write a lot on here because personally i cant be bothered just wanted to say i think u win this years award for the biggest wanker on the internet. hope ur next hdnl driver gives u a fuckin twatin and u end in in hospital and then fingers crossed maybe die?? now theres hoping xxx
The construction of the email tells you we’re dealing with a man of great intellect, probably why he’s a delivery driver. Putting his own email address in wasn’t smart either, but again, probably why he’s a delivery driver.
Should I be scared? Somehow I doubt it. Firstly, HDNL never show up when they say they will, and secondly, the odds of this idiot finding my house, even with my address written in front of him and a sat nav to guide him, are slim to none.
Nice to know the sort of people that Home Delivery Network employ though isn’t it? Do you want them representing your company and delivering your products?
Thought not.

haha hey mr daz your site is somethin else haha gives me somethin to do in work keep the ranting comin , HDNL must be gettin a kickin from these posts , PS accept me on facebook damn
Glad to see/hear so many other people are having trouble with Home Delivery Network.
‘Putting the customer first’ is their slogan on their website, which i would be inclined to believe if by ‘first’ they meant ‘right at the bottom of the shit barrel with a crap service’
Reading the other thread on this site with others stating the driver fabricated a story about arriving at a certain time and not filling in the ‘missed delivery slips’ is also good to hear, makes me feel like atleast im not being singled out!
I cannot believe how inept they are
I have currently ordered a projector form Play.com, and of course, I cannot track it using their ‘on-line tracker’, but that is hardly surprising as when I phoned my ‘local’ depot, I was told they didn’t know where it was, and that it would be delivered tomorrow (Saturday), which on the whole is odd, as Play.com stated it would not be.
Surprise surprise on a Saturday, no one answerers the phone.
Play.com aren’t much cop either, as they believe the parcel was picked up on Friday, and HDNL believe it was picked up on Thursday????
I have always found it difficult to trust companies who hide their telephone number (Thanks Google for helping with that “Home Delivery Network Tel”)
When no-one can tell me where my expensive item is, it only fills me with fear.
I am a computer programmer, and have worked at my local Business Post depot for a part time job, until I found a more suitable one (for a month) and know how this sort of thing works, to know that you CAN track parcels (even though BP failed to do so correctly, we could still track it down in seconds)
A complaint has been made to Play.com, about the inability to track parcels, but not yet about the company not delivering (well I have to give them a chance).
However, if they fail, I will be placing a complaint adding that I will never use Play.com again, and will warn others, and contacting BBC’s Watchdog series about this, as I feel that a 2 minuet Google shows up their true colours (and no, not just the 100 here but more like the “50 million customers” that Roger Dodger was stating about (I think I found 3 good reports!)
There was other searches which yielded the request for WD to investigate this. I was also thinking of Rogue Traders.
I refuse to take another day off, so come a ‘failed delivery’ on Tuesday, I will be using Google Maps to track a route to their location and paying them a visit, as I doubt they will compensate me for the time lost.
This is IF they do not deliver on Tuesday (which is the next business day), they very well may actually deliver, in which case my only grudge is their archaic ‘tracking system’.

My £250 play.com order dispatched with HDNL a week ago is still yet to arrive. I can’t track the package either as the tracking number is invalid. In the past play.com dispatched items by Parcelforce 24 or 48 and I had no problems at all with several deliveries of expensive items. Why is my order taking so long to be delivered? Are HDNL perhaps walking it across from the Channel Islands? And why can i not track my parcel? Is it too much to ask to know where my £250 order is and on what day i can expect it to be delivered (so i can actually be in to receive it)? What a bunch of morons.
I recently used these neanderthals to deliver an electric guitar down to york from newcastle (48hr delivery)and it ended up in plymouth for some odd reason,then on arriving at the customers home address 5 days later it was smashed to pieces.
I spent a whole 2 hours boxing it up and making it clear on the box what the contents were and how fragile it was only for some dickhead to lob it into the back of a van….so now im £250 down and they refuse to pay out….For me Parcelforce are 100% more reliable and thats saying something.
Mr. Daz, your website states E-mail address will not be posted, you lied and posted it. This is not an idiotic driver, this is you not doing what you have written down on this website. Wow, and when you suggest everything you do is right, and you seem to suggest you have not abused drivers by caling them ‘Fucking Morons’. What do you expect? If you have the right to personally abuse them, then they have the right to come back and abuse you! Reading this website you must be of low intellect. You say the driver issued a death threat? I do not see this in the post, he merely wishes you will die IF placed in hospital by ANOTHER driver. LOL! I think you need to go back to college!
