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?

I need to post some 25 to 30kg parcels to Australia in a few weeks time.
The cheapest quote I had so far was £95. . I have 10 parcels to send and £950 is a lot of money, but the company does not offer any discount. Other companies charge around £120, but offer good discounts for multiple parcels…..which also brings it down to abour £100 per parcel.
Does anybody know any companies charging less?

Any help will be appreciated

the package from UK send to me, said it was placed in the malaysia customs and they ask me to send money to the agent to proceed the delivery, im asking is the contenental courier is true agency? thanxs

I placed an order with Debenhams and they dispatched the item and took the money out of my account next day. This was being sent by a courier so i could keep track of the order.

After a few weeks still didn’t receive any thing and the tracking information was really confusing so i phoned up Debenhams and they said it looks like its been lost in the post because the tracking information is not very clear and issued me with a refund.
However, a few days later after receiving the refund this item was delivered. As it was a courier it was signed for by the shop i live above.
My question is that Debenhams will know that i received it as it would have been signed for but could I get away with keeping it for free? or can they take the money out of my account at a later date if they realise?
