LATEST MOAN FROM YOU AND ME 2018

I had a e-mail from DPD this morning saying they had a parcel from Spain for me and would deliver it today. As I knew I would be out for most of the I filled out DPD's app as to what safe place to leave the parcel in. Getting back today, and not finding the parcel, I checked the DPD site to find the parcel was still in the Warehouse Why send an e-mail saying it would be delivered today if they're not going to do so DPD in the past has been very good, but on checking the reviews of the company, found that they barely managed two stars out of ten and that all the "reviews" were really negative with some horror stories of their deliveries. So, I'm hoping I will get the parcel on Monday.....perhaps, maybe.

 

I can't put apps on my phone for work reasons, even though I'm supposed to be retired, Scrungee. Tracking through my computer works fine......the only problem is that the parcel has been stuck in DPD's Ware House for 48 hours plus this weekend. So tracking is not a problem, getting them to deliver the parcel is.

 

Sainsbury's only allow vouchers against the right Nectar card.

 

I gave an example of their rubbish deliveries in post 880 (page 59). It was not a delivery for me.

This was the gist of the post about a parcel I found under a lamppost, late at night, near our house

It gave delivery instructions on the outside of 'If no answer, drop it over the gate'. Attached to the box was a delivery card saying 'You were out and we have left your delivery in a safe place'.

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't those delivery notes supposed to be put through the person's letter box and not attached to the package and left 300yds away on a grass verge? I'm not sure that I would want my parcels delivered (or not) by DPD!

 

They definitely need the Nectar card now. It also says so in the small print.

Our Sainsbury's, next to the town centre, doesn't charge for parking unless you stay there over three hours. Tesco is on the industrial estate and doesn't charge at all.

Waitrose is in the town centre (different town) and only requires you to spend £10 to get free parking - checked on exit. It's next to the public, charged for, car park.

 

Well, that really cheered me up, Scrungee. I've had similar situations with other couriers and they've always managed,in the end, to deliver the parcel. I'll give DPD until Wednesday and then take action if the parcel has not been delivered.

 

Of course!

 

I tried an experiment when I found some vouchers in a trolley. It said the Nectar card didn't tally.
