Are People Still Using Yodel?

They don't have a great rep. but i'd been using them pretty reliably for a while. However, with the uncertainty over possible administration i went back to Royal Mail and FedEx. As things seem to be resolved now, is it safe to return? What would happen to in-transit parcels if they did go '*bleep*-up' after all?

7 days? You must be trolling. All Yodel items arrive within 72 hours in London, sometimes 48 hours in summer.

Here where I live in a rural part of the Midlands Yodel deliveries can take upto a week to arrive.

Parcels seem to get stuck in local depots without moving for days.  Packages then arrive damaged or stained as a result. Also, they do not seem to deliver here on a Saturday  now.

Personally, I find Evri or Royal Mail more reliable so try to avoid sellers who list Yodel as their courier choice.

Yes Royal Mail are easily the best. I often find that Yodel '24' takes weeks to arrive. Or does that mean 24 days? I am amazed  anybody still uses them.

They're the worst. I purchased something at the weekend not realising it was Yodel delivery. It was dropped off on Monday around 2pm and as of today (Thursday) is only showing as having been collected yesterday. eBay's delivery estimates were today at the latest, Yodel tracking saying tomorrow at the latest, neither is going to happen and I'm just left waiting in frustration.

Really slow although touch wood no damages vs evri who are 2 or 3 days but mash up every parcel. Inpost locker to locker is a good alternative in similar price range, generally 2 days from collection to delivery and they handle parcels seemingly well.

Hi there, yes I agree evri are useless with damaging packaging with doesn't end with the shop staff being horrible and throwing packages around on their hard floor. Yodel never had a problem so I keep on using them. 

Inpost are excellent, collects 7 days a week unlike evri, rm and yodel , on time, and delivers within 2 days. Amazing.
