Originally posted by NickFitz View PostThe one day locker delivery actually is, because TNT have the contract for those and they have to get it right, as Amazon's internal systems can track when it arrives. If they don't get the stuff there on time, they'll end up losing the contract.
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 arrivesJoin IPSEComment

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.Comment

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