I ordered a gift for Amelia (eldest niece) online and because the news was full of impending postal strikes, I figured I'd guarantee it getting here by paying £6.50 for guaranteed delivery by today. I figured if they cuoldn't deliver it they'd either leave it with a neighbour or drop it down at the local postal depot (as has happened many times before with online orders) and pop a card through my door - then I nip into town and collect.
Nope. The company uses a different courier - with the nearest depot in a whole other town - 2 hours away by bus.
They put a card through my door to say they have returned it to their depot and couldn't leave with neighbour as it requires a signature - they'll try again the next day (when I still won't be here).
Went on their website to rearrange to a different day and discovered that their delivery window is 7am - 9pm.
Who the fuck can guarantee they'll be in for a 14 hour delivery window?
