So on the way home last night I missed a call from Richard in the DHL Customer Services department (responding to my clearly angry, and very sarcastic complaints email I sent them), asked me to call him back.
Which I did...and low an behold "your call is in a queue and it very important to us. please continue to hold..." for 10 mins, before I snapped and hung up.
Why?!!! WHY?!!!!!!

The most important of which is, being able to receive your goods, regardless of whether you are in or not, at a time that is convenient to you.
Hence, the Securit (TM)
You know those things that store salt by the sides of the roads ?
One of them.
Made of galvanised steel, and secured to the ground/fence/whatever.
It has a digital keypad.
It has a large lid and can hold bulky items that will not physically fit in the letter box.
Locate it in the front garden, or next to the bins, etc.
Arrange a delivery with company X. Give them a temporary keycode.
Man arrives, enters keycode, drops item inside, closes lid, and mechanism locks and erases temporary key code. (The admin overide keycode is still there of course, so you can open it when you get home).
No mess, no fuss, and no hassle, and suitable for most people with houses that have an area to locate the Securit.
On that note, this thread has, what a 100 replies? The time to read it + compose reply (let's say 5 mins all in) * contractor time cost probably means that the (non-) delivery of this parcel has cost the best part of a £1000 already.
