In later years BR and City Link fell out and City Link moved on to

I rejoiced when they went bankrupt! They used to NOT ring the
doorbell, put a note through the door, and tell me to collect
from 20 miles away.


+1 City Link were/are not the only company that seems to do this.

The better carriers now will send and email with a day and timeslot as
well as providing real time GPS tracking of the delivery van - and, the
night before, offer an option to change the delivery day/address/leave
with neighbours.

Royal mail tracking ONLY works AFTER the item has been delivered. It
doesn't tell you where your tracked item may be located if it has been
delayed or lost.
