Swarley Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 What exactly does one do in this situation? I presume Parcelforce will give it "not our problem, guv'nor" and claim that they've fulfilled their end of the contract. I know you're supposed to sue your neighbour if they take in a parcel for you and keep it, but that's a bit hard to do if all you've got is a vague signature. Not sure if I mentioned this, but I recently had a bit of brown cardboard shoved through the door with RETURNED TO DEPOT written on. Not even a mention of the courier firm they worked for, never mind a parcel number or anything else. Not a single f**k given. Impressive. If you have an idea who the parcel is from then I'd be contacting them and get them to raise an undelivered item investigation. I would guess that they'll just "investigate", say they have no idea and offer the sender some compensation. If you don't know who is from then contact Parcel force yourself. There is bound to be a complaint phone number/email? Dave, you need to call round all the couriers in a 50 mile radius and ask if any of them use cardboard for their missed delivery cards! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 My brother in law saw the delivery guy ignore the gate and walk straight through his wee hedge to deliver a parcel. He went to the door and asked him what the f**k he thought he was doing. The guy just stared blankly at him, turned round, walked through the hedge again, threw the parcel in the back of the van and drove off. Clearly, not a f**k given 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 What this highlights is the fact that the ordinary consumer of such services has absolutely no power or influence. We can kick up as much of a fuss as we want, complain to the companies, slate them on social media and it has absolutely no effect. Very frustrating isn't it. I sent a couple of letter recorded delivery (or signed for as it's now called) about five weeks ago. According to the Royal Mail online tracking they are both still 'being progressed through our system'. You have to wait eight weeks before you can register a complaint/make a claim. Eight weeks for a letter that is meant to reach its recipient the next day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eight weeks for a letter that is meant to reach its recipient the next day. Had a similar experience a few years ago in Dumfries. When I asked what was the point of sending recorded when they still managed to lose it I was told that to be really sure I should send it registered. When I challenged that what was being said implied that recorded meant f*ck all was told that that was the case. Registered is of course much more expensive! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srevart Treb Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Students, absolute pain in the arse the lot of them. Weird, stupid accents, crap taste in music, cant handle their bevvy, dress like tramps, unable to purchase things quickly in shops, glakit expressions, are not despite claiming to be "mental", awful hair, appear to have no leg muscles, try to get things cheaper as they are students and hold up the rest of us, upper inflections, wear wooly hats on roasting days, think Che Guevara was the second coming and many many more 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P45 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 ^^^Obviously you've never seen "students" from Paisley University. If you don't have a deep facial scar, you're not getting in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srevart Treb Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I have not, I pretty much based my rant on Strathclyde/Glasgow/Caledonian university students as that is whom I encounter daily. Maybe I have been unfair there to the well-heeled Paisley student types. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srevart Treb Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 No leg muscles? Aye, the very fact they are able to wear skinny jeans/trousers means they have very rarely if ever played football. This means they have not built up any leg muscles and allows them to trot about looking like one of Robin Hood's merry men. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srevart Treb Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Could you ask your "best mate" if a boy who likes boys to have thighs like tree trunks is likely to be gay? Haha, pretty good. My wording of the skinny jeans issue was clearly very poor indeed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
