Delivery seems to change all the time. I think there’s a large turnover of posties in my area. Some would sign the package and dump on the doorstep. Handy, although naughty of them. They’d rip the signed bit off in the hope I’d not notice it should have been signed for. Then some would stuff a note through the door to collect when I’m in. Some took it to the local PO walking distance down the road and others to the depot in town. Then the more annoying is delivering next door when neither of us are in at the same time, or the old folks who used to live there wouldn’t answer the door in the evening so I’d have to wait until the morning.
Oh and local post office just got closed without warning.
Rubbish as always. Meanwhile Amazon just keep getting better. I’m on Prime and I’m now getting options for same day delivery. On top of that they’ve also announced I’m eligible for Amazon Now which gives me delivery of certain items within 2 hours!
Amazon leave parcels in a discrete place. Small items posted through without having to sign. Evening deliveries when I’m in. Plus a lot of decent local collection points available.
I just wish CRC could use Amazon for distribution. Frustrates me when I need bike parts asap, but takes CRC a couple of days to actually stick the thing in the post and then who knows how long Royal Mail will take.
