What a sham!
Booked a day off work so i could take this delivery & build this pc, but it seems citylink are paid to deliver bits of card rather than actual packages

I am sat in the next room, and instead of a doorbell i hear my letterbox
Go to look and lo and behold is a citylink card, so i rush outside to see the van halfway down the street

Now i have to wait until 7 this evening to get the ******g package, and effectively wasted a day off work!

Not amused! :mad::mad:

/rant over
 
If you phone the depot quickly (look on the citylink website to get your local depot number) the driver might swing back round and deliver again this afternoon.

Ring quickly though.

I've done this a couple of times.
 
This has never happened to me either. I wouldnt personally blame Citylink, i'd blame the driver for being a Lazy ****
 
the nice lady on the phone said she would ask them to redeliver on the scanner if they are in the area :D
He/She can't be that far away as its only been 25 mins or so

Nice one, hope he actually deliveres it this time!!!
 
yay new toys are here :D

thanks again hex

I was a sucker and went helped the lady carry a couple of the boxes though as there were 3 huge ones (2 full systems)
 
That's probably why she didn't deliver :)

Although a lot of people bad mouth City Link when all couriers are the same.

It's not the company but the people who work there.

She should still have knocked on the door and awaited a reply.

A similar thing happened to me the other day. I ordered some RAM and had it delivered by Royal Mail. Instead of knocking the door, I got a note through the letter box telling me my package had been left under my doormat. Great, let's stick delicate electronic components under a doormat to get crushed when someone walks on it. Because that's a sensible thing to do.

That too. It was 30 quids worth of RAM which is not nothing to a penniless student like me.

I once had a book from Amazon delivered, and the postman put it in my dustbin. The dustbin?!?! Thing is, one of my house mates picked up the card before I did and put it somewhere "safe" and then forgot to tell me. So I was wondering all week where my stuff was. I found out about it the day before the dustbin men came. One day later and I would have lost it. Cost 40 quid, that book did - I'd have been ****** to have lost it.

I guess I should take out the trash more often, then I might have found it :p
 
They frequently say 'carded' to me without even attempting delivery, and now they've closed the local depot (Barton Hill) so I have to drive all the way across Bristol to collect.
 
same thing happened to me. ive had parcels in bins, under chairs, bbqs . you name it. though royal mail hasnt been much better with there delivery service.
 
I've had royal mail deliver stuff and leave it in the garage (no doors on the double-ex-barn-garage)

So i went to the post office the day later with the card and told them it wasn't there... The bloke behind the counter cacked himself, turns out it was actually him that left it there... So i thanked him very much for allowing my stuff to get stolen, they refunded me after i claimed for it (they did this in a stupidly quick ammount of time.. obviously didn't wan't to annoy me further.

Morrally wrong i know, (as it WAS there) but i'd already asked them a million (maybe a little less... ;)) times not to do that... Funnily enough though, they haven't done it since... :D
