    Shit like this always pisses me off.

    I had this once happen few years ago with university books. Got emailed that it was delivered but I didn’t receive it and was home all day. Got them the day after.

      Same thing happened to me.

      I ordered an expensive instrument, and they said it’d be delivered the week after Thanksgiving.

      Got an email that it was delivered to my porch the day after Thanksgiving, when I was all the way across town.

      I didn’t want to leave a $1,300 lute on my doorstep for anyone to snatch, so I drove the hour home to secure it. It wasn’t there after all, so I installed their stupid app and it told me it would be delivered next week.

      One of the worst buying experiences I’ve ever had. 1/10, would not recommend.

        I’d suggest getting a parcel safe box and having some form of camera monitoring it for anyone attempting to retrieve anything from in the box.

          We have a parcel room.

          They don’t use it half the time.

            Well that sucks, did you try adding a sign to tell them where to put it?

              I would have if I expected it to be delivered. It wasn’t supposed to be there for another week, hence my surprise.

                Yeah true, I mean it’s annoying how some companies notify and track parcels

          I have one of these. And signs. The only way I’ve managed to get delivery drivers to use it is to actually point at it and ask them (nicely) when I’ve been in. Works until a new person does my area…

            Basically defeats the purpose of having one if you have to be in to tell them to put in the box that’s meant to be used whilst you are out.

      It was probably delivered to the post office and that triggered it.
