Extinction Rebellion 5

All these planes were circling around London at the same time.

I hope the passengers paid extra for the sight-seeing tour.

Were the groundstaff on strike?

No Sunday lie-in if you live around Chesham.

This is a monumental piece of bad-planning.

Surely flight speeds could have been adjusted somewhere on the flight path to enable the planes to fly straight into Heathrow, yet every plane seems to have to queue up to land.

New York to Heathrow is just under 3,500 miles

Sao Paulo to Heathrow 5,900 miles

Boston to Heathrow

Extinction Rebellion

Extinction Rebellion is an international movement that uses non-violent civil disobedience in an attempt to halt mass extinction and minimise the risk of social collapse.

Instead of disrupting the country and bringing traffic to a halt, therefore creating additional pollution by lengthening journey times, here is one suggestion that you could focus on to reduce air pollution.

Why not go and blockade Ryanair & Michael O'Leary's office. He has stated recently that Ryanair are the greenest airline. Bollocks to green, he'd be interested in the cost savings from a reduction in fuel costs.

Where I live I am on the flight paths into and out of Leeds/Bradford, Manchester, Liverpool and as I found out this morning, Doncaster/Sheffield airports.

Why would a flight from DSA need to fly south and then North-West when flying to Faro?
There are many more examples of wasted mileage when looking at flight-paths, but this one seems exceptional. 

I appreciate that planes need to be planned to fly from airport to airport, but why does this flight need to go around Manchester?

I can't see any reason for it not being able to fly south over EMA & BHX, unless it is because it flies over Lord & Lady Snob's mansion.

BHX to FAO doesn't need to go west before flying south, 

But that's just one flight I hear you say.

Economies of scale?

Background on DHL fraud

Information from a former DHL employee regarding fraudulent processing of DHL failures.

This shows that false scanning happened 4 years ago and was reported to DHL's HR department.

Obviously I was wrong to trust her.

Don't try and email her, it has been changed.

Hi Mike

I was dealing with someone called Tracy Green, I do not have any materialistic proof, but every courier was told at meetings, "do not scan any shipments ND", any of the couriers will verify this . and I was always told when I was behind the desk, how to abuse the system to lose ND and failures.

Her e mail address was TracyGreen@dhlcom

DHL probe furious mum's claims driver had poo next to home

DHL has pledged to investigate

A delivery firm is investigating a claim that one of its drivers was caught having a poo outside a house in the Midlands.

Courier firm DHL said while it has not yet established that one of its drivers was involved, it is investigating as "a matter of priority".

It comes after a woman named Nadine told BBC Radio Nottingham that she had arrived home from work last Tuesday afternoon, and heard a strange noise as she opened her door.

She said she looked down the side alley next to her house in Gedling, Nottinghamshire, to see a white male with a red and yellow DHL t-shirt on.

He had his boxer shorts down and was wiping his bottom on her fence post, she said. He then pulled his pants up as he ran past her, and went to a van parked nearby.

She said she had to go to her childminder to pick her son up, but when she returned home she had a look and saw faeces in the alleyway. Her husband dealt with it later and also took a photo of it. She now says she wants an apology from the firm. A spokesperson for DHL said today:"Based on the information provided we are yet to ascertain if the individual in question is a DHL employee.

"However, we are investigating this as a matter of priority as this is clearly unacceptable."

Ask yourselves, Why would a driver not have time to find a toilet? Would it be anything to do with the workload placed on him? Two months down the line from the original story I cannot see an update anywhere.

DHL v Trustpilot - Update

Didn't notice, but those figures were for DHL Ireland, though that just shows how wide spread the fraud is throughout DHL.

I've left my own review on the UK site.

DHL v Trustpilot

Figures just taken from this website don't paint too good a picture about DHL. I've highlighted a couple of integrity issues, there are more.

It's not that they fail to meet their service agreements, it's the cover ups. But when you self regulate, it's what you can get away with.

Forged signatures

Drivers constantly sign for my packages for me, and dump them into shops in a town 15 mins away from me. Expensive orders have gone missing and been damaged as a result.

Lying Delivery Drivers

After three full days expecting a delivery (which kept being rescheduled at the end of each day without DHL providing any reason for it), on day 3 they finally marked it as "Recipient moved", and it said on the website that I could pick up my parcel elsewhere "as requested" (I had not requested any such thing). After calling customer service to try to understand why they had failed to deliver my parcel, and are making me have to go pick it up elsewhere, they said that it is standard practice after two failed deliveries.

Now, my husband and I work from home, where we run a small company. Nobody had showed up to deliver the parcel as claimed by DHL. Our phone number was also provided on the parcel details, and yet nobody called.

I understand that picking up the parcel somewhere else is not the end of the world but it is simply not right that if a customer is paying to have it delivered on a particular date and at a particular address, they should be made to wait five days over the expected delivery date and drive god knows where to pick it up when they were in fact at the address provided. In addition to the aggravation and time spent dealing with customer service.

The problem is that this is just standard practice with this company. Lying delivery drivers, or perhaps they are just under too much stress to cover large distances in little time so they resort to this. In any case, you'll be better off with anyone other company.

After speaking to customer service my parcel has been rescheduled for delivery two days from now, so we'll see what happens next. The customer service guy was friendly and helpful but I'm done with the delivery drivers in this company.

In any case, this is not my first bad experience with DHL. It was my mistake for giving it another chance. Check their international sites here on Trustpilot, there's good reason they have an awful score.
If something like this happens to you voice your discontent to the sender, particularly if they are a large company that sends a large volume of parcels. When large companies stop hiring DHL's services they might start thinking of changing their malpractice.

DHL Fraud & the Passport Office - Update

Not much of an update so far, as every response to the Passport office results in a long delay before receiving anything but the automated reply.
I'm currently waiting for some information under a freedom of information request but somehow I think that information may not be forthcoming.

How's this for a headline?
