Here at Smart Parcel Box, we know all too well how frequently deliveries can go wrong. Afterall, that\u2019s why<\/em> we created the Smart Parcel Box.<\/p>\n

Recently, Which?<\/a> conducted a survey to find out what happened to deliveries at the busiest time of the year \u2013 Christmas. They surveyed over 2,000 online shoppers about their experiences in deliveries between November 2018 and January 2019. Their findings were quite shocking with only 32% reporting that their deliveries went to plan.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Christmas Delivery Problems<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

As well as parcels not arriving at all, one of the most reported problems was parcels arriving earlier than expected. This resulted in missed deliveries as people were not at home to accept them. Whilst this is annoying for the rest of the year, it\u2019s particularly irritating around Christmas as a missed delivery means chasing around at your local sorting office to retrieve it before the big day.<\/p>\n

Another major delivery fail recorded in the findings were the number of parcels that were carelessly thrown over the hedge or left out in the rain. Of course, this resulted in a number of being damaged and hard to replace over the busy festive period!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
