Debbie Delgarno was greeted by a Hermes courier on Wednesday at her Corby home. Hermes courier arrived at Debbie Delgarno’s Corby, Northamptonshire home Wednesday to deliver a box containing three Christmas presents.
The courier drove onto Ms. Delgarno’s driveway and closed his window before dumping the parcel onto the gravel.

Ms Delgarno described the courier as a ‘c**k womble’ after they failed to check anyone was inside her home at the time of the delivery.
Ms. Delgarno was able to see that the courier never left their vehicle when she reviewed her CCTV footage. The courier also did not leave any’sorry, we missed you’ notes or text messages advising that delivery had occurred.

“Fortunately my husband returned home at daylight to see them, or else they’d have been out all night. I did not receive the email until late last night.
‘I just thought what an utter c**kwomble, if you don’t want to do the job there are plenty more jobs out there.
“Our Hermes delivery guy is excellent, but he was sick the other day.”
