ill either lose your package , door step it or stick a card through your door asking for you to collect at a inconvenient time it is ups policy to leave it with a neibour for the customers convienience
I've never had them lose a package, never had them doorstep it, and the depot opens early in the morning (so can collect on the way to work), or late once a week so I can collect after work. The fact the depot is basically around the corner makes it a lot easier too.

Handing to neighbours depends on the neighbour. On one side, they're fine. On the other side, they will steal the package and deny receipt.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Another day passes and still nothing from Germany.   :fighting:

On the plus side the Liverpool parcel has been delivered - What state it's in remains to be seen.

I hate them, too. I ordered something from the States, fully expecting to pay a little import duty on the item, but, oh no, the pissin' Royal Mail have to add on a 7 quid "handling charge" as well, all but negating the small saving I was making by not ordering from the UK!

Last year I sent a little parcel recorded delivery....

It arrived at its destination 6 months later. With a hand written note on it saying "sorry it's late"

Nope.

RM deny all knowledge despite DHL/Deutsche Post confirming they handed it over.

Seems it's lost never to be seen again and the claim process must commence.

On the plus side I do have the claim form to fill out for my failed Special Delivery service.  I'm looking forward to that.
