Hmm, well I'm on my 4th failed delivery now. First email, May 28th- failed delivery, I was on holiday. Try again on the 31st, no they don't do Bank Holidays (unless it suits them looking at some people's comments), they set another date at random themselves of the 3rd June. I won't be in, so I change it to Saturday. I wait in, constantly checking the tracker- my ticket goes from being on the road to delivery not successful. Yes, I was in the whole time. So I select to collect from a collection point today. I feel hopeful when I receive both an email and text at 5.30pm yesterday to say my tickets are awaiting collection (with a very shouty you must collect on this date as part of the message). So, I've just been to the collection point. Where are my tickets you say? Well not in my grubby paws!!!
Why did they send a text and email? They can't explain. What will they do about it? Nothing, I can keep coming to the office to see.
I calmly explain that I've had enough and they need to do something, as I can just leave my office every half an hour and walk up there. I'm very lucky that the office is walkable, but that's not the point. Now they suddenly are able to call couriers who are on route to ask them when they'll arrive. They weren't able to do this on Saturday to ask if they'd actually tried to come to my address. Of course he won't divert and come to my office in the spirit of customer service, given the inconvenience they've caused me.
Can I complain on their website? It seems not, I can compliment them, but not complain. Hmmm.
I got mine on the 3rd delivery, 1st one they just left a card in the garden gate lettbox, 2nd they tried to deliver to the wrong house and 3rd time lucky.
After the 1st failed delivery I complained to DX by e-mail to
Glastonbury@securemail.co.uk and copied in
office@glastonburyfestivals.co.uk Received a call from a deputy manager at DX who insisted that the courier had tried to redeliver that morning but we didn't have a letterbox so he couldn't leave a card. I insisted they sent me the photo they have to take of your door if they can't deliver, it turned out to be no 90 not 94 where I live. After eventually admitting they were at fault, he was unable to get in touch with the courier to redeliver that day so eventually he agreed to redeliver on the following day, Saturday. He promised to call me in the morning with a 2 hour time slot in which the tickets would be delivered that day. Tickets did arrive on Saturday morning at 08.50am. No call to advise of this as promised nor has there been a courtesy call from them to check everying is okay. Pretty standard thing for anyone working in customer service to do I would have hoped, obviously not DX though!
On a happier note I had a lovely e-mail back from the festival office thanking me for copying them in and I have our tickets!
