A quote from a Retrobike member on a recent thread about Yodel on there. Makes me laugh every time I read it:
“DO NOT, EVER, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, USE YODEL
They are the single most inept, incapable, shower of sh*t excuse of a courier company I have ever had the misfortune to use.
Unless, of course, you count “good service” as physically running over a bike and then taping it all back up in the hope I won’t know, and then REFUSING to pay me a penny in compensation because I couldn’t prove it was them who ran it over…
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. You would have more luck putting your bike in a Trebuchet and launching it in the general direction of where you want it to end up. I would bet on it arriving quicker and in better condition than if you let the Yodel circus anywhere near it.”
