      If it's sent to an address, it probably goes via another firm that's cheaper, and also rubbish, as Amazon don't know (or care) when it arrives

          At least when its sent by DPD, you get a text/email narrowing it to a one hour window...

            They closed down my local one, so now I have to use one about four miles away from home

            Still safer than having it sent here, though - Yodel in particular will just leave stuff anywhere. Had several Amazon parcels go missing because of them and their previous incarnation, HDNL

            And with other firms, I often end up just collecting from the depot because it's easier; and they're up to ten miles away.

                Yes, they're good - though I still usually end up going to the depot, but at least that's fairly close by

                  I try and tell them to leave it in the recycle bin or with a neighbour...except on bin days

                    Not sure if I keep typing "forms" instead of "firms", or if autocorrect keeps sneaking up on me

                      Depot for most of these are in Hayes/'Southall so not an easy pickup...if they were open at night then I'd at least treat myself to decent indian food whilst there
