Bizarre delivery

I was having a delivery from DPD today. They sent me a 1 hour delivery slot. I wasn't going to be in, so used the option to deliver to a local store to collect tomorrow.
The parcel has just been delivered to my door, 7 hours after my original delivery slot.
I'm not complaining, it saves me a journey, but how strange Confused

Last week I had two things delivered by Yodel on the same day but hours apart... He said he'd been on my street five times already and generally around the area for hours! Shock Seemed like really bad route planning.

Very bad planning!
Are there any delivery drivers around who might know what happened with mine?

I had a hermes delivery last friday. Today I got the your parecel has been delivered email and it showed 1 hour earlier and a signature that wasn't me. At least I had my stuff already I suppose.

I watched a car get loaded today while I was stuck at temporary lights. My goodness, no wonder things get mixed up, it was packed to the roof with seats down. (Likely amazon but they give timed slots too) at this time of year there are probably loads of parcels that get muddled and the driver has to go back and deliver them when they find them at the end of shift. Would not like to be a delivery driver in a city

Yes, that would make sense. The poor driver looked exhausted.
