Been delivered another "you were not in" card

What is it with parcel companies, DFD, Post Office, DXdelivery ?

Drop a card through the door saying I was not in when I am standing watching them

Its hilarious but ridiculous

So did you let them drive away without delivering the parcel then?

Otherwise known as gainful employment....

Or the other current favourite of just leaving a parcel on the front door step and then you receive an email to say handed to resident. Not as annoying as what the OP stated but leaves you with a chance of someone taking the parcel if they so desire!

We had one where the delivery company said a neighbors delivery had been handed to us - It hadn't! So now my neighbor probably thinks we've nicked it

I wonder what you must have said to the guy after that?

I used to think a lot of the complaints about parcel companies were exaggerated until I once had a card from Yodel through the door. It had some completely illegible writing on it but a checkbox by the "in a safe place".

After much searching, I eventually found it on the garage roof - about ten feet behind a locked gate....

The M&S delivery people (forget who they are?) just leave boxes containing clothes in the garden to get rained on

When I lived in a flat (posh yuppy one before you ask) the post office/parcelforce people did not even leave the depot with the parcels, they just brought the cards out already filled in, they simply could not be bothered and all the residents had to go to the sorting office to pickup their stuff even if they were standing there as the postie came to the door

amazing this stuff is allowed to continie

I had an odd one this week that I've not seen before. I'd nipped out to the shop and missed the post. When I got back I'd got a post office thing to tell me to go to the sorting office to pick up my parcel. However I spotted the postie delivering to other flats so went down to get the parcel. She told me that the parcel was at the sorting office already and that they push these notices through the following day if they were unable to deliver the package. I'm pretty sure that is bulltulip but it's pretty hard to prove - just stick one of these through each door and make the customers drive to your office to pick them up.

Why didn't you just open the door to them ? That's the ridiculous bit.
