Not for the driver it wasn't!!

The man who seems to deliver all my Evri parcels now is aware that I get up late and if it’s early, he rings the bell than waits for me to open my bedroom window ( bungalow) to hand it to me! He needs a photo but manages to take one of my hand holding it rather than full body!

People with jobs often expect us to be up. I got my zillionth job rejected call, did not even know the day if the week...

Delivery services of all kinds are getting less reliable, and it is as bad to get things early as late. We are away a lot, and often find that parcels are left on the step in the rain, as they arrived up to a week before the date given. It is maddening.

it often occurs to me that the more a company talks of the (high) quality of its customer service and how important the customeris to them, the worse its customer service is.

Yes! They can protest too much .

Oh , good job you don’t live here. They don’t care when they deliver, early ,late or never ! Our postal service is dire.

I ordered a table and chairs for my dining room which were to be here Fri 12th August...Van driver arrived when he said he would and handed me a box with 4 table legs in it...I stood waiting for the rest of the boxes while the driver informed me that the chairs and table top hadn't been barcoded and would arrive on Monday....So glad I wasn't having visitors at the weekend....

That’s ridiculous Mine, what a waste of time and fuel.

Delivery by courier and Royal Mail does not seem to be worse than usual. Indeed seems fairly prompt but depends on the vendor send it out. Things are often marked as 'despatched' meaning they have done the picking and packing but the item has not yet left the premises. What does annoy me is oversized boxes wastefully used for small items which one then has to cut up and put in the recycling. Amazon, take note!
