I had a pleasant surprise yesterday - TNT delivered an order from Staples, which I had placed the previous afternoon - and I'm even farther north than you are! Well, it was too good to last. Order placed yesterday, email this morning saying it had left Inverness and was out for delivery. Checked TNT website after dinner, as box had not yet arrived - instead of delivery info it said 'call'. I did - agent said the account was marked 'attempted delivery, recipient not at home' (or words to that effect). I was home ALL DAY. If I call first thing Monday, I _might_ be able to arrange delivery for Tuesday... One of the major problems of living north of Inverness is that the overnight parcel artics arrive in the city at around 0800 and all the local carriers leave for their days deliveries at 0730. That is if your parcel actually comes to Inverness, I have had many parcels sent to Aberdeen because it's "quite close". I wonder how Londoners would feel if all their parcels were sent to Exeter - about the same distance from me as Aberdeen. Have also learnt never to include the county of Sutherland in the address as all these parcels end up in Sunderland! Phil Northern Highlands of Scotland |
