In these days of mobile phones, AIBU to think that a 2 man delivery team should be contactable by phone to give an idea of the delivery time? I am waiting in for a 5 hour slot and have been told "there is no way to contact the drivers" to get a more precise time estimate. Surely this is silly? They are bound to be mobiled up and all I would like is for them to say when I would be safe to pop out for half an hour to walk the dog. I understand that they cannot predict traffic, and want flexibility but I bet my bottom dollar they know if I am first or last on their route. I can understand it more when it is simply a single driver as he may not have hands free and could well be driving at any particular moment, but when it is a team then it seems daft.
