Parcel Delivery Services

Posts Tagged ‘lorry’

Ok. So i ordered a bunch of books off amazon. I ordered, and i must stress this, FIRST CLASS POST delivery.

So Amazon gives the package to a courier company… why? I don’t know.

The company states i have to wait all day for the delivery. I wait from 7am – 7pm putting my life on hold. They don’t come on day they called and said it would on. Ask where it is. Says it will come tomorrow. I wait next day. I am upstairs. I look down, the delivery man just slips a note in the door, stating that I and my neighbors are busy. He does not ring the doorbell, nor my neighbors. Both our dogs would bark if it did. I can clearly hear my doorbell ring upstairs (small house )

I phone up, complain. Says they will come again. He does the exact same thing again. I rush out to stop him leaving, call out to him. Looks around. Then gets into the lorry, and drives away.

Now they are just taking the piss. They don’t even carry the packages to the door, they just slip a ‘im busy’ note under the door.

Are they doing this because they make more money coming out every time? This is so ridiculous, i can’t even complain now – i imagine it will make things worse. Even when he sees me he drives off. I need those books desperately. Putting my life on hold to wait for a damn delivery. The depot is really far away, but i think i might try driving there. What do you think i should do?

A neighbour moved into our cul-de-sac last year and it became obvious that he worked as a courier for a parcel company. We were getting parcel lorries on a daily basis (excluding Sunday) at around 7.00 a.m. It has almost ceased now as the neighbour goes out of the estate and meets the lorry around the corner.

When there was a delivery the other Saturday morning at around 7.00 a.m. my neighbour phoned the parcel company and was told it was legal to deliver to residential areas after 7.00 a.m.

Does anyone know if this is true?
