Royal Fail no better, to be fair. Even their guaranteed service carries the warning that “delivery times cannot be guaranteed”.
Quite a few times now I have ordered things with 48hr delivery, get a despatch notice, then next day royal fail tell you they have received the details, then the day after they have the parcel….then tracking says ‘it’s not in our system yet’, the day after it arrives, a week later, is when you get the ‘it’s due to be delivered’ notice.
We have 3 postal operatives here. One is a relief postman, he’s great. Everything is through the door at 9 in the morning. It’s all our mail, and he’s always happy to take something to post.
The other two, the regulars, take it in turns….one’s a stoner, a god botherer and waster. Lucky if you see mail before eleven. One day he made a real bitchy comment about my wife, so I decked him. ( he said he was joking. Well I didn’t think it was funny.) The other is a knuckle dragging bitch who delivers the mail to everybody but the person it’s intended for. There’s a woman up the strath, some 15 miles away, who shares our surname and my wife’s initial. We get her mail, she gets my wife’s mail (RM rules state to deliver to the address, not the name) and one time bitch put a letter for this other wifey through the door I wrote MISDELIVERED on it in big letters, put it back in the post box. Got it back the next day..so posted it again, this time from Thurso, got it back again. Eventually put it in a new envelope and wrote the name tiny and the address huge….put a note in explaining what had happened, and told the wifey to report it. If she’s delivering mail, if we have 4 letters, usually at least half of them are for someone else.
The postal bitch came to the door one day and says ‘I delivered a recorded parcel here the other day, it was for a house up at Melvich..I scanned it as delivered here’ .She hadn’t, so I told her so, at which point she accused me of stealing it. Yet, we get ‘Your parcel has been delivered’ texts about an hour before she delivers them cos she stands in the sorting shed scanning everything before putting it in the van! Forkin useless bitch…
And, don’t even get me started on Hermes….I reckon 4 weeks for 3 day delivery has to be some kind of record, eh? I had the refund and had bought another item from a different supplier and had that delivered before the first one arrived! Told the original seller it had finally arrived and offered to pay again, and he just said “keep it”.
Ahhh, and breathe……
