I’ve just had a delivery company fail to deliver in their 3 HR slot 5 times – finally got it on the 6th go. That’s a 2 week delay, and 18 hrs waiting. How much should I get (paid £15.99 for delivery)

Knock yourself out. The delivery charge as a minimum, what your time is worth is up to you.
Fact is, there are airlines who deserve this and had it coming for a long time, Ryanair and BA being two I have personal experience of dealing with.
The former run such tight margins that if a plane gets delayed at one stop it knocks everything on in the chain, why should my flight get a 6h delay because they are too tight to lay two planes on as replacements (one for the affected flight and another for the subsequent flights in the chain thereby delaying just one flight)? Their customer compensation is a joke as well, my sister in law was expected to stay in Dublin from Saturday night to the following Friday(next available flight) at her own expense and then submit receipts for reimbursement later.
BA are just such a bunch of fannies that I’d be happy to see them go down, it’s like they actively try to lose your luggage and then don’t make any effort to return in (in my case several bags lost at Heathrow and a bike that eventually BMI returned because the prat next door wasn’t interested).
As said, perhaps if they treated their customers right in the first place people wouldn’t resort to this.
