hermes is looking a better option each day

It's potluck with any courier at the moment, they are all flat out because more people are using them due to the royal mail strikes.

This means not enough staff so taking on agency workers to deliver, and they make no effort to find an exact address or care if they lob it over yours or a random neighbours fence.

Plus Hermes/Evri wasn't just voted the worst delivery firm in the uk for nothing.

They usually are the cheapest though.

I've used Evri quite a few times and usually arrange it through Packlink via Ebay.  Not many issues but the last three times it was a disaster and nothing but stress.  Evri blame Packlink and vice versa.  I've since learnt that Packlink is based in Italy (or somewhere like that).

Even the last couple of parcels coming here with Evri have taken a lot longer than they should have, over a week once they actually had the parcel and the last box took 2 weeks to get here after getting scanned at their warehouse.

Add in the  cyber monday and christmas increase and it's anyones guess when, or if, a parcel will arrive/be collected.

You're not the only ones.  Whilst I live in a 'rural' county, there is almost nowhere to run my 1/10 & 1/8 bashers round here anymore.  Various pieces of unused council land / waste ground have either been built on or more usually just fenced off with lots of warning signs but with nothing actually being done.  I'm OK for crawling / trailing round here, and there's a few indoor 1/10 & 1/12 / 1/14 clubs/tracks, but TBH I get the most enjoyment from just hooning around with a 1/10 or 1/8 MT or SCT, preferably with a couple of mates.  And that's what I find almost impossible to do round here these days ☹️  Will defo be selling a few off over the coming months.

I feel your pain mate, everywhere i used to go was just wasteland and i was moved on by either the "owners", security or police. BMX track has been closed for over a year now. Still thinking about buying another Hyper truggy though just to mess around with at the park.
Maybe just slim down the collection and stick to 1 or 2 for messing about with.

Hardly ever drive mine, but still reluctant to sell after putting so much into getting them just how I want them. 

But I do get where you're coming from.
