OK , look forward to endless Republican governments then I guess . <| sep |> Ditto , although we have a few , main one is an Indian guy that sometimes delivers with his son , nice guys . Our Hermes woman is also brilliant , leaves her mobile number on the missed delivery slip , so on a few occasions when we ' ve missed her , we ' ll call and she ' ll loop back round in the evening and make the delivery . Other people ' s experience may vary but I find these sort of ' private ' couriers put a bit more effort in to their work than a lot of the Royal Mail types . I don ' t mean to generalise and I realise there ' s good and bad in both companies , but in our experience it just feels like the RM type don ' t need to bother as much because they ' re locked into a more secure job , whereas the Amazon and Hermes type are likely under more pressure to makes delivery times and not get complaints and such .
