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. We've had this problem frequently. The delivery men are paid for each delivery or attempted delivery. If I call first thing Monday, I _might_ be able to arrange delivery for Tuesday... -- Martin in Zuid Holland Which is why putting leaving instruction on a parcel is such a good idea, as that way when they try this they have to pay up if they don't leave it the first time. I know sometimes there is nowhere to leave stuff safely but if it can be, it stops them saying they have "Carded" you when in fact they have been nowhere near and were just trying to save time, and don't think I am having a go at the drivers, sometimes when I see what they are expected to do in the time I am amazed how well they cope. -- Charlie, Gardening in Cornwall Holders of National Collections of Clematis viticella and Lapageria rosea cvs http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk |
