City Link are Useless

"16/09/11 17:00 There was no one to receive the goods at the delivery point so a card was left."

Yes there bloody was, and no it bloody wasn't

Does the delivery driver not realise how totally bloody obvious it is that (s)he's decided to skive off at five on a Friday rather than finishing the round?

Snotty email sent within ten minutes of the lie being perpetrated, but I don't suppose it'll do any good

These courier firms really need to stamp this out.

The cards should be printed with a unique reference number which the householder needs to quote when calling up to query/re-schedule the delivery.

If the householder does not have a code it proves the courier never even visited the property.

I've had this happen in the past and at bizarre times in the middle of the day.

The best I got was on Christmas Eve where the HNDL driver decided to state that my parcel had been delivered at 16.30 on their website.

Unfortunately for the driver Amazon were open on Boxing Day so after a complaint to them my parcel was delivered open 2 hours later.

Edit - Yeah I'm Godlike

They still f**king lie.

I've had couriers say they couldn't find an office building because they never heard of the client company even though the client company has a large sign outside with their name.

The only ones that do this are RM.

Yeah the trouble with Citylink is that most of their drivers are self employed i.e. contractors.

Did you use the postcode. You know you're not properly addressed without it!
