How to Make a Complaint to Yodel

Given that Yodel is such a large company, there are many ways to file a complaint.

If Yodel is unable to resolve a complaint, other avenues of recourse may be available. However, the very first step is to try to resolve the issue directly with Yodel. It is recommended to first raise the complaint in private (webchat, phone call, etc.). If the issue is not resolved, it may be worthwhile to raise the complaint on social media.

What if Yodel Won't Resolve My Complaint?

For most unresolved complaints in the UK, the consumer has three options for recourse: Alternative Dispute Resolutions (ADR), Ombudsman, or Small Claims Court

Under UK law (Consumer Rights Act), your contract is with the retailer, not the delivery service. By law, the retailer, not Yodel, is responsible for making things right.

If Yodel won't rectify the issue, your next course of action should be to get in touch with the retailer directly. If the retailer won't fix the problem, then you may want to consider seeking remedy through an ADR, Ombudsman, or Small Claims Court. The industry of the retailer will determine which of the three options you should pursue.

Can I Get a Refund If Yodel Delivers My Package Late?

Under UK law, goods must be delivered within a "reasonable time". Reasonable time will vary on the original time estimate and the types of goods delivered

Generally speaking, you can get a refund if you paid extra for express delivery and the parcel is not delivered within the provided time frame. If the delivery was free or standard, it will be quite difficult to get a refund even if the parcel is late.

If the parcel arrives 30 days after being ordered, you are entitled to a full refund per the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

What If I Signed For a Yodel Parcel and the Item is Damaged?

Many online orders require that you sign for a parcel upon delivery. It is not your fault if you signed for a parcel and you discover the item is damaged.

Under the Consumer Rights Act, the seller is responsible for items that are damaged during delivery. In these situations, it is better to get in contact with the seller as opposed to Yodel to seek a refund or replacement.
