Courier companies operating in the UK must have human Customer Services

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

To help the public using these services be able to resolve issues and complaints in a timely manner with a human contact and not a ‘bot’ or automated service.
The public pay good money for these services and there is absolutely no way to get any issues resolved. During these difficult covid times, these services are getting used more and more as people are having to restrict their movements. Thousands of customers are being let down and dissatisfied with a service that is not fit for purpose. Surely they must have to comply if a new regulation is raised that customers must have the right to obtain a human response from these companies

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

How a private business delivers its customer services is a matter for it, not the UK Government or Parliament. It is up to customers whether to use the services of a particular company based on how it provides customer service.
