It would appear that this branch are now employing ghosts! Tracking states that a delivery was attempted at 9.16am this morning, and yet somehow not a single person showed up on any of the three motion detection cameras! I have been sat downstairs all day to ensure that I didn't miss the delivery of this parcel, and my whole family were at home all day, including both dogs (you would have to be invisible for them not to alert to the front door). My father was even on the driveway at 9.15 working on the garden, so unless royal mail are hiring secret agents to deliver for them, I'm not convinced there was a delivery attempted at all.
Just to make everything that touch better, tracking also states that collection is available from the long Eaton office. What they fail to tell you, is that the long Eaton office is only open from 8am until 10am, which makes actually collecting anything impossible.
The sender payed £16+ to have this parcel delivered guaranteed next day, so I'm very frustrated that it didn't. There wasn't a van that even came onto the road, because you can only get onto my estate from one way. So there was absolutely no attempt made at all. Genuinely appalled.
There has been a complaint lodged with the company, but I thought others ought to be aware of the sheer laziness and incompetence of this delivery branch, as this isn't the first issue I've had with them.
