Strange happenings

I sent birthday flowers to a friend who lives in a house which is one of five, down a country lane. The delivery man couldn't be bothered looking for the name of the house (they are not numbered). So he put the flowers on a patch of grass nearby. They weren't found for 2 days.

I sent a house plant as a present to a friend who lives in a 200 year old cottage in Norfolk.

The delivery company said, twice, that they couldn’t find his cottage, the address didn’t exist! I thing he just couldn’t be bothered to drive that far out. My friends hamlet is so small, ask anyone and they would have told the delivery guy where my friend lives, by name.

I was refunded as they had given up.

Glad all is well now Auntieflo. I have never ever heard of this sort of thing happening before. It is a good job you have friendly neighboursr.

In a critical mood

I think Royal Mail is the pits..... should not have the title Royal, whilst I rant..

Mail delivery is sheer purgatory

Well, the book was delivered, yesterday, to our neighbour, who brought it round.

There were two address labels on the parcel. The correct one, and the amended one?
We are still completely in the dark about how the amendment came about.
When DH asked at the Royal Mail office yesterday, the chap just shrugged his shoulders!

When I recently rang a parcel delivery Company about a parcel that had not been delivered they asked for my postcode when I gave it to them, they told me my address didn’t exist I told them to put the address in manually but they assured me they had no option to do that, my house has stood here for 140 years ? I did get my parcel in the end but it took a number of phone calls to sort it out

Arrrrgggghhhhhhh THEIR!!!!!! Sorry pedants......THEY'RE. I'm tired and only had two coffees today. Well that's my excuse.

Someone miss typed a number and their covering their back. I wouldn't worry. As Chestnut said, a scammer wouldn't just send it four doors away.

That is strange indeed but sounds more like a computer glitch than a case of fraud. Why would anyone change the address to 4 doors away, there seems to be no purpose.
