Because I need to know before I get snippy with the delivery company??

[ConnorTraceptive]

I'm having a dishwasher delivered I have had a letter to say delivery time will be anytime between 7.30am and 6pm.

AIBU to expect them to narrow this down to either am/pm? Do they really think people can sit around for ten and a half hours waiting for something to be delivered?

I think if you had a go at the delivery company, you would just be wasting your time, take it up with the supplier rather.

Give them a call, am or pm is reasonable. Loads of places now take a mobile number and phone to give 30mins notice of arrival which is magic if you need to just squeeze in a school run.

Alternatively, sit on your bum with a pile of DVD's and trash mags and 3 packets of KitKats like a lazy slattern and just wait the 10.5hours Go on! Treat yourself

Sometimes they won't tell you until the day. It's usually worth calling in the morning as then they know which van it's being put on.

The supplier is the one who sent the letter so that is who i'll ring.

If it were me on my own I would indeed slob on the sofa (but it would have to be jaffa cakes not kit kats) but I will need to go out to do school run and pick up.

This is quite normal unfortunately.

It is a pain in the tits and the delivery men can often be so lovely..........if its just a nip out, you could leave your mobile number taped to the door. I've done that.

Seems normal to me. Sometimes you can specify am or pm delivery but generally you have to pay extra for that service.

See, I've always been given am/pm slots and had companies ring on the day but thought this whole make you wait in all day type of thing was a thing of the past.

obviously I know Hotpoint didn't put man on the moon

Connor - LOL, no he'd still be waiting for the shuttle to turn up.

Unfortunately it is still the norm - fecking frustrating though. It's worth ringing, you might get someone with half a brain that can help you, or you might be posting tomorrow about the 'Press 1 to re-direct your delivery... Press 1,990,999 to speak to a real person.... beep beep beep' message you are more likely to get!!

Can you tell I'm hugely frustrated with delivery companies
