This is not the first time I have had things delivered by them and
everytime the same thing, just dumped and a card left in or by the
gates.

I often used to get cards to collect parcels at the Post Office,
which is actually quite handy. There was an occasion when the
card appeared midweek, and it was Friday before I could visit the
PO. As I passed it across the counter I spotted, on the back,
rather than the bit intended to be filled in, "Parcel in
dustbin". I had a spare dustbin, at the time, and (I think you
may be ahead of me here) the bin men had been very thorough, and
the package had indeed been taken away. Fortunately, the
commercial sender claimed and the parcel was easily replaced.

Last Friday I was in all day, with a parcel expected from DHL.
Nothing was heard, yet that evening the on-line tracking showed
it as "refused delivery". I translate that as, "Ran out of time,
so took it back to depot."
