Delivery Driver Rant (1 Viewer)

Has anybody had a delivery from Amazon only to have the parcel launched over your back gate? Boils my piss.

not one attempt to come round to the front of my house, where I was available to accept it.

Someone I know had their parcel left in the electrical box on the exterior of their house. Utterly bizarre.

We live near a new massive estate / their social media is full of complaints and pictures of parcels on the wrong doorstep - have walked around it - feel sorry for the delivery drivers as it’s nigh on impossible to find flats in the place , roadmarkings are appalling- everydoorstep looks the same

I had a “sorry you weren’t in” card pushed through the door yesterday saying they’d left my parcel behind the bin. There it was, behind the bin on the front drive in full view of every passer by. Of course I was in, had been all day and my car was on the drive. Why wouldn’t you ring the bell? Think it was Yodel.

Covid really has opened up the leave it on the doorstep mode without even ringing the bell !

Conversely, DPD insist on taking a photo of whatever they deliver *inside* my doorway, even when it's sodding compost!

I mean, what's wrong with the photo being outside an open door?!?

Got a good one on this actually. Earlier this year we ordered a Hickorys at Home from the restaurant. Had it a few times before and it was really good. Anyway, I was out when it was delivered and I got a message saying it had been left in ‘a safe place’. Turns out said safe place was the driveway, fully in view on a reasonably hot day with food inside. What’s not to like?!

I worked at a place where the customer asked for the parcel to be left in the recycling bin which they did unfortunately on bin day.

Our blue bin was deemed a “safe place” a few weeks ago. No issues for us but your exact scenario there ran through my head. Must happen a lot to be fair, you’d be fuming if it was a high value item (or buzzing if you were the refuse collector!).

So you order a takeaway and then go out before it arrives?!

Not quite. It is a takeaway of sorts but it’s a ‘cook at home’ type thing. You just get a day that the food will be delivered on and I’d only nipped 5 minutes away for something. Can’t just sit in all day waiting for a delivery!

Just been looking at that! Like Hickorys, but not keen on cook at home type things, would rather somebody cooked my takeaway for me! How straightforward is it?

Mostly just boil/reheat in a bag stuff, it’s relatively straightforward. Had it a few times now.

When I lived in Brighton a parcel got put in the wheelie bin on collection day…
