Delivery companies

[CEB]

They’ve stopped even pretending to give a f***, havent they?

[Dunners]

Did the new England top not arrive then?

[CEB]

It arrived with a normal George Cross. I want the purple one

[Give it to Jabo]

Atrocious working conditions in the gig economy…

[Proposition Joe]

Had more problems with Royal Mail recently tbh.

[CEB]

They’re all pure poo poo.

I sold a Lego set a few months ago and sent it via Royal Mail, did tracked, signed for everything. All seemed fine. Three weeks later got a message “is there a problem with this order?”, I assumed it was someone trying to pull a fast one and get refunded for a Lego set I saw was delivered.

Turned out it’s been delivered to a flat a few doors down three weeks earlier, no note through the door, and the neighbour had just kept hold of it. The tracking info I had, when I checked it, just said “left with neighbour” so this woman had to pretty much confidently approach five neighbours saying “a parcel has been left with you” until she found the right one. Who handed it over but apparently was a bit grudging about it

[Long slender neck]

Can be infuriating, I ordered a game (value £7) from Currys. I wasnt in for delivery but didnt see the problem as obviously it fits through the letterbox. Instead they left it at a newsagents a mile away.

My wife ordered a game (value £40) for her brother from Amazon. When it arrived, no disc in the box.

Had something sent tracked by RM a couple of weeks ago and the postie signed for it on my behalf (getting my name wrong, natch) then left it in the stairwell of a different building, never to be seen again.

I found that Katy Perry lego set for you

[Constanza]

Talking of Lego I went to the Art of The Brick Exhibition in Brick Lane. Great stuff, well worth a visit.
Try not to do what I did, wear a bag on your back, squeeze past a group of tourists taking selfie of the 100 lego skulls carefully arranged on shelves. As I go round my bag hit off the display causing six to fall to the floor.

What with this and the Haggis joke, it’s evident you’ve raided the Christmas Crackers a tad early?

Keep it up

Was the game Paperboy?

[Hoover Attack]

I was sent a nice bottle of red over Xmas via Amazon and when I opened it, there was a squashed up bottle of lemonade partially filled with enough water to be the same weight as the bottle would have been

[CEB]

Seriously?

[BIGRON]

Amazon have a nasty habit of leaving parcels outside the door and just taking a photo of it saying its been delivered , no CCTV on our floor ( tower block ) and I've not yet had a parcel nicked like some other residents have

[Proposition Joe]

Who buys a nice red off Amazon?

Yep. I found out what one of my Christmas presents was when I came home to find that the torrential rain had dissolved the cardboard wrapping of the Spider-Verse deluxe vinyl soundtrack my wife had bought me, which was completely ruined as it sat waterlogged by my bins where it had been left.

This delivery is a new guitar. Gutted to not have it today.

[Hoover Attack]

Seriously?

Yes, for once.

Blossom Hill is not a "nice bottle of red".

[Hoover Attack]

Any free booze is nice booze. I thought you would relate to that.

[Dunners]

Absolutely not. When I fleece anyone for a drink I insist on it being a bloody good one.
