I'm expecting a delivery today of some parts I've ordered, as yet no show.
I've tried all the usual tricks, been to the toilet 3 times, stood outside in the back garden, nipped to the corner shop and still no luck, as a last resort I thought I'd post this on here, fingers crossed. $:\$

I cry each time DPD deliver anything to me. If i miss it its a 50 mile round trip to the depot and back.. On top of this their customer service is useless when you try and arrange anything with them.

Tried the hovering after my first post also went out to pick my lad up from college he's here now so I'm going to have a bash see if going for a shower works.
Package is from the US of A, Parcelforce, but I think City link drop it off.

You would think in this day & age it wouldbe possible for delivery drivers to (a) find an address (satnav?) & (b) phone customer on mobile to advise delivery time. To have to wait in sometimes all day is a pain in the ....

Its exacyly the same with contractors---they always ask for phone contact details when booking a call out but hardly ever phone to say " i will be with you @ such &such a time".

Robbie8666 · « **Reply #21 on:** 30 January 2013, 09:31:19 am »

got to say I have cage tyres fitted by e-tyres at work, they ring me the day before to advise what time the should arrive, the fitter rings me about an hour before he arrives and is there either bang on time or just before, tells me that the job should take ex amount of time then calls me when he's finished and then shows me the torque wrench just before final tightening.

execellent service at a good price a big recomemndation for them from me!

Just before Xmas I was waiting for some new slippers by parcelpost.

I stepped out into the back garden to pick up a pot blown over and heard a bit of a thump/crash round the side of the house.

YEP! Bastad had rung the bell just as I slipped out the back and then thrown me slippaz over the back gate.

Still, at least I found them before all the shit weather.

Mick-H · « **Reply #23 on:** 30 January 2013, 05:35:20 pm »

Corbin arrived today

I continue to be a very happy man.
Next box should

arrive tomorrow.

Suppose you have to specify... "Please deliver when my wife/partner/SWMBO out?"
