The best I can hope for with my local hermes is that stuff arrives very, very late, often after I've already had a refund from the seller. Latest "delivery" was "out for delivery" for 4 days then suddenly became "undeliverable". Other couriers have no problem delivering on time. Why is hermes incapable of doing it? I'm shocked that hermes is an approved courier for amazon. I'm looking for alternatives as I'm sick of relying on a totally unreliable courier.
