The delivery driver was working at that time, why wasn’t the receptionist!?
Check out the URL - is this not a phishing scam?
Delivery attempt at 2am - charged to redeliver!

This is 100% a phishing scam
OP needs to cancel their card immediately if they put their details in

Also going to throw in, it's definitely a dodgy URL. Evri is a common target for this kind of scam and they count on exactly what's happened here. The small %age of people that were actually expecting a parcel by that carrier.

I believe it is. What stands out to me is £1.04+ vat is not £1.45!!!

Better question, what kind of a scam company charges for redelivery?
BenM2023@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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.
fellowmortal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
Its a good point. Of course, there’s a chance that I actually want the thing that I bought.
Delphia@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Ive been on the reciving end of this, I got in touch with the seller asked them to show me where in writing they informed me that additional charges would apply if they couldnt deliver the first time. They told me that it was my problem, I told them that I hadnt recieved the delivery yet so the credit card chargeback would be entirely their problem. Problem went away.

They don’t this is phishing.
Delphia@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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.

Bro it’s a scam email
andthenthreemore@startrek.website 10 months ago
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 almost definitely a scam. Woke up bleary eyed today! No details put into the website, but link followed - maybe need to close that email down :/

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 corporation.
luk3th3dud3@feddit.de 10 months ago
Yeah in what world do you need to pay to get your parcel delivered ???
echo64@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Simping for awful companies with awful business practices is one of the weirdest things to come out of the internet.
TrickDacy@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Who exactly is doing that?
luk3th3dud3@feddit.de 10 months ago
Maybe give me the benefit of doubt and don’t interpret things? I meant that the service was already paid for by the sender and now somebody has to pay again? Seems strange to me at least…
fellowmortal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
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. Even if this were delivered to a home address - ringing the doorbell at 2am is considered a dick move.
theskyisfalling@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
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.

Looks like it’s a scam? Definitely ignore the email
luk3th3dud3@feddit.de 10 months ago
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!
luk3th3dud3@feddit.de 10 months ago
I mean the sender already did, right?

aboringdistopia is just like US citizens complaining about their country imo
TrickDacy@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Nothing about this seems American. You high?
fellowmortal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
Not the US, and not complaining about the country. I agree with @theskyisfalling the driver probably just posted that they had tried to meet quotes 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.
PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk 10 months ago
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?

My brother in Christ this is a scam email. Do not give them your credit card information.
zammy95@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I’m so on edge, OP hasn’t responded again. I hope he didn’t pay them
abysmalpoptart@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It looks like it’s definitely a scam.
