Are City Link always crap...

Yes.

[eliquant]

Yes.

they once left a £400 quid rug outside my London flat in the W2 (ish) area.

Are City Link always crap..

yes, yes and yes.

My theory is they deliberately wait around the corner for hours and hours until you finally give up and go out. Then they pop a card through the letterbox with a phone number that rings off the hook.

Usually, in my experience.
Their favourite trick is to leave the parcel with a nearish neighbour and not tell you, so I have to go round the flats like Columbo hunting it down.

....or is it just me? I always seem to have problems with them.

They have supposed to have delivered something on 8th 9th and now 10th Sept according to their tracking site but no-one turns up.

Bloody annoying staying in all day for nothing.

Found UPS worse. Twice they have tried to deliver to the WRONG address when I`ve stayed in all day. My address on the invoice sent from the Company I ordered from was correct, the actual shipping address put on the package by the Company was correct but for some reason UPS feel the need to stick their own label on packages and you can guess it, with the wrong address. My address is close to another if one word is left out and UPS leave that word out.

Oh so *that's* how that nice rug I found got there.

Well you can console yourself with the knowledge that it's being put to good use by my fireplace. The cat's curled up on it fast asleep even as I type

Home delivery network are the very worst in our experience around here. UPS, TNT, Citylink, DHL, even Parcel farce etc... not too bad to be honest. We avoid vendors who use Home delivery network.

Normally they're not too bad but have had a few nightmares with them.

Normally it's when the regular driver is unavailable and they employ self-employed cover drivers who don't know the area and have very little comittment.

The favourite trick is to say "delivery was attempted but nobody was in and a card was left".

Of course, you know this to be a lie because you waited in all day for your "GUARANTEED NEXT DAY DELIVERY" and there is no card dropped.

Last time this happend, rang their customer service line and was told that the driver should have taken a photo of the premesis (!) to prove they had got the right address. They should have this on file on their system, but of course it wasn't there because the lying scrote of a driver hadn't been anywhere near.

They can sometimes play this game for days on end before the package is finally returned to sender.

Had that happen to us with tulipty link.
When I phoned up to find out what was going on, they said a card had been popped through, when I refuted this they came out with the 'we have a photo clearly showing your white PVCu front door'. 'That's interesting' I said, 'my front door is brown'....
