Dh has a new mobile on the way. He arranged for it to be delivered on Friday as I'd be at home then. 2.15 I hear something come through the letterbox and went to have a look - it was a 'sorry we missed you' note from Parceline. Well I'm sorry they missed me too - especially as it seems to mean that the unfortunate delivery driver must be either very impatient, very stupid or very short-sighted. Our bell doesn't work so we stuck a label on it saying so and asking anyone who wanted us to knock on the door - loudly! OK...perhaps he did that and I didn't hear but I think that's quite unlikely...but DS#1 was playing in the front room in full view of anyone standing at the door so you'd have thought that the driver would realise that most people don't leave a 3 yr old home alone and that therefore there would be an adult in the house!! Wouldn't you try again...at least once? I rushed out of the front doot but he was already haring down the road in his van
So now I have to stay in all day on Tuesday. Not sure how I'm supposed to get the kids to and from school..... and if I miss the delivery again it will be sent back to the sender. A few years ago this happened and I went to the depot to collect but there doesn't seem to be that option. BUT you can pay between £5 and £10 to ask for delivery on a certain day am or pm! For £10 I'd want it delivered at a specific minute and not a second later or sooner!!
Grrrrr
