The most annoying thing I find is that these companies just get away with this sort of thing, and we are powerless to act.  I also think they do it deliberately.  >:(

I'm wondering if they're using satellite reconnaissance to watch and see when I leave my house.  Then they send someone round to slip an 'undelivery' note through the letter box.  Perhaps TNT doesn't really have any delivery vehicles at all.

I wasn't paranoid two days ago.  Now, I'm not so sure.

Still waiting...

I sympathise, I hate waiting for carriers, particularly after about 15:00, when you know the chance of delivery is rapidly fading with the sun. :(

This morning I made my third call to TNT.  I sat in all day yesterday waiting for the lathe but it didn't turn up.  There was no explanation from the call centre, merely an offer to re-schedule delivery for tomorrow.  That happens to be Maurice's day off and I'm not going to waste it hanging around on a promise from TNT!  They don't deliver at the weekend so now it looks as if delivery will be on Monday.

Grrrrr....

This is intolerable, Gill.  I'd be contacting a higher authority and demanding a weekend delivery.

My turn!   ;D  On Tuesday I ordered a Quad bike for my 16 month old grandson.  No I had no idea you can buy Quad bikes for toddlers either but it will give him street cred at the park!  Toys R Us e-mailed me to say it will be delivered next Monday between 8 am and 6 pm so I thought "better stay in on Monday".  Today, I went out most of the day and returned to find a non delivery card from TNT pushed through the door!   :rant:    :rant:   :rant:  They now plan to deliver it tomorrow.

They're not doing very well here, are they?

Trouble is, just to run salt in the wound, so to speak, what does gets here on time. Milton Keynes is well served by couriers.

I must admit the last 2 deliveries I've had from Citylink haven't been delivered until after 6:00pm.
