There is a simple fix to the problem.Dont get the bloody thing delivered to a home address if your not there during the day.Its not rocket science champ.
use royal mail so if you aint home you can pick it up at the local depo and that is normally within 1-2 mile radius of where you live also its open on a sat simples
Urgh, I've been on a gap year before uni, so whenever my dad orders something (usually massive synthesiser keyboard things), I have to stay home and wait for it. My problem is that mine don't even knock, they just say they did and then insist I wasn't home when I was. Absolute knobheads. D:<
i have to deal with this with UPS sometimes, frackin union..... thank God FedEx isn't unionized. Also, thank God DHL is on it's way out. They royally suck here in the states. A bloody dusting of March snow, and their drivers become chickenshit and crawl back under the bed!!! HELLO IT'S THE FRAKKIN NORTHEAST! LEARN HOW TO DRIVE HERE!!!
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! the parcel problem must be a universal one!! same thing happens to me too. Luckily now I live in an apartment so they just deliver to the main office and when I get home, I read the note on the door posted by the main office and I can pick up my package. :)
At least they don't do what they do here. Sometimes they go "Oh! They aren't home! I'll just LEAVE THE PACKAGE SITTING THERE ON THE GROUND WHERE ANYONE CAN TAKE IT!" I recently got a package, and the post office didn't even knock on the door. I was home and never heard them, and when my parents came home at 8ish, the package was sitting there on the doorstep.
i sooo agree. i have not used a lot of online stores cause they only use UPS or FEDEX. if they would make deals with all the people who provide courier delivery services, to ALSO provide pickup services, then that would be a whole different ballgame, but until somebody works a deal like that, I'll usually stick to regular post.
I thought for a minute there someone was going to knock on the door while you were naked and you were going to trot your package over there to accept delivery of a package:)
I feel your rage. I especially hate when its something important like a new passport or a credit card...U have to run out to pick up those. Standard issue orders usually leave it at your door. Some people don't have anything around their entrance ways.
I hate when you have to stay home cuz you're waiting for a cable guy, or an internet hook up technician, even furniture delivery. You have to sacrifice a day for something that should have a precise scheduled time for them to help you out.
That's the big thing, though, all courier services I know require a signature from the recipient. Sometimes, they'll leave the package with your neighbour, but they NEVER do that with me, because I'm that neighbour... Because no one else is ever home during the day.
Yeah, if you piss me off, I might get naked right up in here, and that's dangerous. It's a little known fact that the most common cause of snowblindness on beaches is naked Norwegians.
Oh my god, I COMPLETELY agree. Who's actually ever at home during the delivery times? No one, since its work hours.
One time I ordered something, and they tried to deliver it while I was in college, so took it back to the depot which was like 3 hours away, then charged me £1 to get them to take it to my local post office! An entire pound?! why couldn't they just take it there in the first place? If they were in this town anyway its not exactly like trek for them.
Last time, I stayed at home all day only to have them try to insist I wasn't home when they came by... And then I had to get to the depot... I was pretty angry, and the shitty thing is that I can't actually SHOUT at anyone, because I don't know whose fault exactly it was... Might even be MY OWN!
Hahahaha. they probably came during like the 10 seconds when you went to the loo or something. I swear they always knock on the door while I'm getting dressed, so I run downstairs with my t-shirt on backwards and my jeans unzipped so that I get to the door before they leave.
Oh, I doubt they came while I was at the toilet. I purposefully didn't shower or take a dump all that day, just in case they would come at that moment. When I took a leak, I directed a weak stream into the porcelain on the side to make as little noise as possible. I'm very crafty, but they were craftier, the sods.
Mmmmm, garlic. Some people would be more than happy to just eat whole cloves of garlic, so be careful what you say... and who you talk to... Because if they're the garlic people, you might go blind from their body odour.
I'm an evil bastard. GARRR!! Send it by Royal Mail, and I won't kill you. ^_^ Actually, if someone sent me a PRESENT, I'd happily walk to the depot to get it.
Psh, now I don't WANT anything from you. You broke my hypothetical, proverbial heart and I never want anything ever again from anyone! I have lost all faith in humanity.
Leave a note on your door asking them kindly to leave your parcel somewhere easy for you to collect. Like a friend or neighbour's place.. or in a shed or summink. Sign it and date it.. Jobs a goodun.
Two things: My neighbours and friends are never home at this time of day, so that wouldn't help. Also, even if they were home, I tried to get a parcel delivered to myself at a different location when I realised they were going to deliver while I was out. "Nope, no can do. Has to be the given address." Could be it works with some couriers, I suppose. I'll try that next time. (Though I hope that's a long way off.)
That sounds weird. I mean, anyone could have written that signature. That sounds wildly insecure... The couriers I deal with won't even let me receive and sign for it myself, much less someone else else thanks to some note that could be written by some evil-minded neighbour.
Howdy from Texas! im a Courier. I personally only deliver from business to businesses because of that very thing. I feel you mate!
