Royal Mail being annoying this time. An email arrived over night saying a parcel would be delivered today and gave a window. I've just checked the tracking. The email got sent when the parcel was received by Peterborough distribution centre. They aren't the distribution centre my stuff comes from so they sent it on to mine which means it will probably turn up tomorrow while I'm out. At least it isn't a day trip to Aberdeen. RM have done similar before though with something else. They are all incompetent.

Klondie,  you do seem to have a lot of bother with these deliveries.  
So wouldn't it a better to make a 'Safe place'  where  people can leave things for you?

For example,  I have got an front porch where most things are left, except for the odd idiot that throws it over the gate!
We can't always wait in, can we.   Not if we are supposed to be somewhere, or got an appointment.

We have used the greenhouse as our safe place for years.
Except for farm n feed deliveries they don't fit so someone has to wait in......Guess Who?🤨

For any members in the West of Scotland  -  beware.

Apparently that side of Scotland is in for 33 hours of torrential rain this weekend.

Quote:

Brits in eight areas of Scotland are being told to batten down the hatches and prep an emergency kit for a 33-hour deluge this weekend.
The Met Office has sounded the alarm, urging people to gear up for torrential rain and potential flooding in the west of Scotland.
The recent sunshine is set to give way to relentless rain, which could wreak havoc on travel plans.

The problems I've had recently happened before they even got here. I get most Amazon stuff sent to a locker anyway.

The RM parcel didn't arrive. I got a failed delivery message. I was in. No record of anybody arriving on either the doorbell or the CCTV at the claimed time. Good job there was nobody in wherever they went to deliver it if they ever did.
