Ordered 2 separate parcels yesterday, chose next day delivery. I was given a 1 hour time slot for today, between 2:30 and 3:30. So made sure I was in, sat waiting and waiting and waiting. Got to 5:30 and I’m thinking they’re not going to show up are they? I just received a text and email saying “sorry we missed you” I opened it and it says “we tried you but no one was in” HUH!! I have a ring doorbell so even if they didn’t press the door, I would’ve been notified that there’s presence at the door. I’ve checked the app, no one has been. A card hasn’t even been posted through the door. Clearly they just cba delivering it so pretended they tried.

Im so fuming! I understand that if you choose next day delivery sometimes things can happen which delay things. It’s just one of those things, but for me to sit here for hours and then they just pretend that I didn’t answer the door has infuriated me! There’s no other reason for this post other than to have a bitch and a moan.

Complain this will be the driver however now it may be the weather our snow has only just gone because of the rain I had to cancel my carer coming this morning as it was dreadful may have delayed him as only had so many hours to deliver and maybe was already late so put it on another day . Or maybe lazy driver

There’s absolutely no snow here whatsoever but if that’s the case it’s fine. It’s the “we tried you but you weren’t in” that’s annoyed me. Why not just send an email saying there’s been a delay and will now try to deliver the parcel tomorrow?! I was thinking about complaining but not sure if it’s petty

Complain. They'll say they will email you a form. However I'm still waiting after 3 weeks. Absolutely useless.

If they do deign to knock or ring, they give you about 1 second to get to the door before they piss off. I think they expect people to stand by the door all day.
