Ok I just read on a delivery company website that they have in fact started taking photos of the moment of delivery. Wow. That is incredible.

Here I always opt for delivery at a pick up location and use my electronic ID to pick it up so I had never expected delivery drivers to take, and store, photos of people.

Had a delivery yesterday where the driver (Evri) had to wave his handheld around for a bit, as it wouldnt let him confim delivery as it thought he was 100m down the road!

Evri / Hermes have got their act together recently. Least unreliable delivery company.

They're called that because they fuck up Evri delivery.

"Your parcel is on the way."

"Your parcel is being used as a football by the warehouse staff."

"Your parcel is in Antarctica."

"Your parcel has somehow been delivered to your roof."

I had this happen with FedEx a couple weeks ago for the first time. We get a lot of packages so I was surprised.

The delivery person gave me the box then ran back to me as I was walking away. "I have to take a photo to prove I delivered it." He puts it down on the ground and photographs it. Not sure what a picture of a box on a nondescript driveway would prove, but I guess he had to do it.

Photos are useless unless they are photos of the person and goods together. A DHL courier claimed that I had signed for a package and claimed that a picture of my postbox with an envelope in it was proof of delivery.
