to think that delivery drivers...

[MTBMummy]

are actually stealth ninja's???

I ordered myself a nice little pressie and have been given a delivery slot - all good so far, I have been milling about waiting for the driver, but also needed a wee (sorry if that's TMI) so nip to the bath room, do the fastest wee ever known to man kind (even leaving the door open in case I hear him at the door - not sure what I thought I would do, run down the stairs with my pants round my ankles?) and some time in the 5 seconds while I was flushing and washing my hands, I've had a slip that they tried to deliver the parcel

ARGH - now I have to wait until tomorrow and go to the depot :(

He must be the fastest moving person ever because I ran straight to the window and there was no van in the street

Am I alone in thinking they wait outside our houses and the 1 second that we're not immediately able to come to the door that they arrive and drop off a package?

(PS - this post is written toungue in cheak, I'm not really upset, just amazed at his stealth and speed)

Are you me??

Having arranged to be in for 13 hours I had to take DD to school (took total of ten minutes). That's when they delivered. My fault entirely but annoying nonetheless!

Reindeers - I'm so glad it's not just me, and a 13 hour delivery window is such a pain....

We had the ninja deliveries last Christmas, I made way too many online orders and was standing next to the front door when the bell went, by the time I put my coffee on the cupboard in the hall and opened the door, the driver was pulling away in his van, holy cow that was fast. But luckily he left my boxes on the doorstep.

I had this one Christmas. Legged it to the loo and left the door open, had a clear view of the door (and through a clear pane of glass next to the door). Saw the delivery guy walk up th path, no parcel in hand, post a note through my door and leave. Didn't knock or anything. Couldnt chase him down in time (after I'd pulled my pants up!)

I went mad at the delivery company. They told me he rang my doorbell 3 times. That's strange, I replied, I don't have a doorbell. (Well I didn't then, someone was buying us one for Christmas!)
