Richardbach, the door to door sellers have been discussed so many times that some of the reasons for the forumites' concerns are no longer written simply because they've been typed too many times already. It isn't a matter of slagging off young people trying to do jobs that will help them to 'learn the ropes'. Far from it, many of us have a genuine concern that these young people are being conned themselves and the lessons they learn from this 'job' will do them no good for any future employment. The manner in which many of them introduce themselves, and attempt to sell their wares, indicates that they've had no training whatsoever. Attempting to sell shoddy goods door to door holds no valuable lessons for anyone.

Surely if they are selling door to door, they are on the streets?

The guy knocking on your door is not using self-initiativity.


He is one of many carrying identically packaged bundles probably supplied by some 'Fagin' like Character.


This is obvious as it would seem an area is selected and targeted on any one night.


It is unlikely he will see much of the money he collects..

Yes, until a few years ago you could still buy decent products at the door, from sales reps from reputable companies, such as Kleeneze. The last rep we had was a local mum with a young child and my mother was pleased to be helping her by buying from her, as well as being pleased with the products (including very versatile scissors). Not to be confused with these present day purveyors of rubbish.

Nope - my scissors were from one of these ex offenders, not a company like Kleeneze. Didn't try the tea towels though.

how shallow are your comments about these people selling tea towels , and saying what what cheap rubbish the goods are !

im pretty sure these guys dont try to decieve you in anyway saying that they are top quality from selfridges or john lewis .

the goods probably are cheap but what would you rather them selling cheap crap to earn and evening meal to survive or bash you over the head head with a london brick and sreal your Rolex and the keys to your porsche ? ? ?

you must see the world very differntly to most hard working people that unlike you have been spoon fed all your life .

Joseph... I admire you for sticking up for the guys trying to earn an honest crust, but I'm afraid you are mistaken. It is a scam. Maybe they're not claiming it's quality merchandise, but they are deceiving us by claiming to be part of some sort of kosher rehabilitation scheme (it is not). They work in gangs, descend on a road, and move on - and can be aggressive. Google it.
At least they are trying to make some kind of a living. Admittedly the products are not great nor the muttering obscenities under their breath if you decline but it can't be easy knocking endlessly on doors and being rejected. I still have some iron cleaning clothes in a drawer somewhere. I mean!!

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
