AIBU to complain to sainsburys about this?

Am I being a cranky old witch, mumsnet?

Today on a 8.30-9.30 food delivery slot the delivery driver buzzed to get into the building at 8.20 and 8.21. I was still in bed and half dressed at this point. As soon as the 8.20 buzz happened I got up and began pulling clothes on. By 8.22 I was opening my front door and he was there (I'm not sure how he got through the communal front door in the end, possibly also buzzed my neighbours?). He said 'I tried buzzing but nobody let me in' to which I responded 'yes because it's not 8.30' to which he appeared to not know what to say. (A mumbled apology)

The delivery drivers are often a bit early but always call me from the van out of courtesy to check it's okay to come up early.

AIBU number 1- AIBU to think it's not okay to turn up 10 mins early in the morning with a food delivery?

AIBU number 2- AIBU to complain to the supermarket on their online tool to ask their them to remind their drivers to be more considerate if they are turning up early, particularly in the morning? (I don't want anything out of this, genuinely do just want to not have them keep coming early. I picked 8.30-9.30 instead of 8-9 for a reason).

Is this serious? 10 mins early! Imagine the uproar if he was 10 mins late

Sorry OP but 10 minutes difference is not a huge deal imo.
Why not book for 9am and get up at 8.29 anyway.

I wouldn’t complain because you should have been up and ready way before 8:30 am knowing you were expecting a delivery then. They do turn up early quite often, it isn’t a hassle for most people.

How do you know he buzzed the neighbours to get in? Someone may have been leaving (or coming in) and opened the door for them.

I don’t think you have anything to complain about
