@BBCWatchdog please can you investigate Evri! It seems a number of customers are experiencing the same problem where they are just keeping parcels for weeks on end with no attempt or intention of delivery and no way of contacting anyone😒

[Claire L Bell @WriterCLB]

@Im_RobM I hate them. Today they delivered something that was "out for delivery" in October.

[Rob 🅼 @Im_RobM]

To every retail company out there, please stop using Evri, formely Hermes, as your delivery partner.

Regards,
Everyone.

@DisneyStoreGBR Still haven't received princess dress I bought online on 29/10. You said it would arrive 6 Nov, Evri said 12 Nov, still nothing. Order number UK12748946. Very disappointed!

@ScotCitylink I bought a return ticket to go from Lochgilphead to Glasgow at 15.59 tomorrow- Friday. Can we travel today, Thursday instead, at 15.59 instead? Called your call centre but it pointed me to social media

Such wonderful news. Have kept this family in my thoughts over the past few years, especially since having a daughter myself. Happy reunions https://t.co/j2YIRwAgbL

@Argos_Online @LittleTikesUK Thanks, I managed to return it to the Argos store today and get a refund.

@LittleTikesUK Just purchased your Cozy Coupe Policr car from @Argos_Online. It is impossible to build. Very very disappointed. Your products are usually excellent but I am hugely disappointed. Will be returning it for a refund.

[Claire L Bell @WriterCLB]

@LittleTikesUK @Argos_Online I already spoke to them. It's really impossible for us to build this. It caused us 4 hours of grief and no progress. I will return it to Argos tomorrow for a refund.

@apsmunro Thank you. As a mum of a 3 1/2 year old this is the update I have been looking for. She had 9+ viruses last year, none of them COVID but none of them fun. Not looking forward to round 2 now that the nurseries are back, but relieved that COVID is just more of the same.

So true

@fells_boutique Hi. She is a chromosomally normal child. We never had her blood tested because I realised the test was only relevant for symptomatic foetuses and since she was asymptomatic inutero and in person, Iignored it. She is beautiful, smart, agile, and has zero traits of Turners.

@TheRustler83 @BordersAgainst @P_H_S_Official On a non-pandemic year roughly 55-60,000 die every year in the Scotland. So that means about 5,000 die every month. We’re all getting the jab right now so those people who are going to be dying are also going to have been getting jabbed/not getting jabbed and getting COVID

Can't argue with this #mondaythoughts #inspirational

@SowetanLIVE Truth. Excellent piece.

@NigelCaseyHC @DIRCO_ZA @ukinsouthafrica You were a very reassuring presence in South Africa over this past year especially. Thank you for helping us in our repatriation journey. All the best for your homecoming and resettling in the UK.

@BorisJohnsonI I love travelling, but not yet. Let's enjoy the freedoms we are regaining on this island first.
