Consequently, you only ever really see this kind of blase delivery from Amazon, who I guess are rich enough to absorb the cost.
Sweet innocent child, so lucky never to have suffered (edit: the low cost UK courier) Hermes. Their definition of delivered to you regularly includes left in a bush 3 streets over at a random address
Your first paragraph is totally correct and I wish more people stopped wasting so much energy chasing couriers when it's not their job. However, there is a certain reality when people expect free or <£3 delivery costs
I asked CashApp to step in and refund me and they said "Look chum, the FedEx ticket says DELIVERED".. and I'm like "Yes, but not to me" and they said "Yeah we get that, but our policy states if its DELIVERED it's over with. How about we just terminate your CashApp account for complaining?"
With a debit card, chargebacks are not a legal right, but often platforms will do them for you. Not sure exactly why CashApp weren't happy with you for asking, but maybe they felt like you hadn't tried hard enough with the seller, or that you were trying it on.
That said, my understanding from general opinions about CashApp is that them terminating your account is probably a net benefit for you in the long term, rather than something to rue.
Most people pronounce the courier like Her-mies which reminds you of herpes which is apt.
