I have had it up to hear with so called delivery people.
From the local postie who doesn't carry his packages just prewritten out 'Missed you' cards and when he tries to shove them though the door with the main mail, I collar him and demand said package...he mumble that he didn't expect me to be in...grrr. He came back later that day with the package.
To a local courier firm whos so called attempt at delivery was as follows. I was with my daughter on the toilet upstairs with door open as we were expecting the delivery. I heard a brief quiet knock, I ran downstairs to see 'Missed You' card on the floor and when I opened the door the bloke had walked down the drive, got into his van and had the engine running. FFS, he wouldn't wait 30 seconds for someone to answer the door. I waved at him and frowning he dragged himself back and delivered his package.
Ending with fecking Argos this morning. I have been up since 7am, wander though the hallway to the kitchen at 7:30am to finda 'Missed You' card timed 7:30am !!!
No knocking, no doorbell, just the sodding card. Had to wait half an hour to ring and complain, as customer service only opens at 8am. Lady explains they tried to deliver and noone is in and they have proof they delivered, i.e. the fecking card.
I explain as a pregnant SAHM of an active 20 month old toddler, I am both in the house and awake at that time and noone rang the door bell or knocked with a decent volume.
So I am sat here waiting for the van to return, not daring to go to the loo in case I miss them again.
Don't delivery people want to deliver stuff. What if the homeowner had trouble walking etc, they would be gone before they got to the door. I am not going to allow people to send stuff here in future, it is too stressfull.
So it is just me, or does other people have delivery people who do anything to avoid actually delivering stuff.
