City llink came to deliver my new sky broadband router

bhavv · 8 Dec 2011 at 12:02

They knocked the door very lodly.

I jumped out of bed, put on my robe, went down the stairs, turned off the alarm, opened the door .....

No one at the door but a big yellow city link van in front of the house.

I stand in the doorway waving both my arms, and the van just sits there for a while, and then drives off.

No calling card left.

I return to my room and slump into my bed for my brain is >censored< up this morning as usual.

I WANT MY BROADBAND FIXED

Because leaving the house was too much effort

Should have run after them.

This is probably why most people, when expecting deliveries are up first thing, dressed and ready for things like this

Windy day + robe + going outside = carry on-esque moments of hillarity

Normally yes, but I wasnt given a delivery date, just 2-5 days for delievery.

Otherwise I'd be lying on the sofa all day struggling not to pass out.

I couldnt have gone outside or chased the van for I was barefoot.

And raining + barefoot too. No I wouldnt ever do that.

Ha I've been there.

Called on the intercom, I jump out of bed run downstairs in my PJ's and the guy was by his van on the other side of the road.

Now the sensible thing to do would be to cross over and collect the parcel......... however it was raining and cold so sod that!

He drove off and alas the parcel was gone. (Until the next day)

Sky only use royal mail, parcel force or ups.

Not tired, I have no balance / loads of vertigo. I need to lie down for most of the day when I have the sympoms.

Right now I just on the onset of a 3-5 day long migraine associated vertigo attack. I recognise it too well.

Doesn't sound ideal. What do you do for a living if this is a common thing?

Erm I have described this many times, but would rather not do so again.

Give us a recap..

Cosimo · 8 Dec 2011 at 12:26

I’ve just found a delivery card for something I didn’t order.

cravin penut · 8 Dec 2011 at 12:26

You Should be able to get a RM tracking number from them if one has been sent out. They are usually sent RM First Class Recorded.
