Been waiting in all day for the full build I've ordered, but the delivery guy just knocked on the main entrance door and immediately left. Does DPD not phone the customer or anything? It's a 2 grand system and I'm a little worried about it. The image they gave even has the sign pointing to my flat in full view. I have Amazon drivers phoning me up if they can't find my front door to deliver a feather duster. Is there no way to tell DPD to phone me up or attach notes to the delivery if they have trouble?
Delivery with DPD.

- Start date
I'd like to make it very clear that my stuff isn't there, the driver needs a PIN to release the stuff. They simply knocked and put the stuff back in the van (I hope). They're coming back tomorrow.
I guess I have to camp outside my building a half hour before the tracker says they'll arrive? I just hope the stuff is fine when it eventually arrives.
Another delivery person came. I left a note on the main entrance pointing the way to my flat around the back. I don't think they even bothered to go that far though, judging from the picture they took of them in the car parking area.
Bit miffed now tbh. I was expecting the delivery to be the annoying part of this purchase, but this DPD company is going above and beyond. It's my own fault for not camping outside for a good half hour before the van was to arrive I suppose!
Is there nothing Overclockers can do? I really am concerned with the idea of fragile PC components ratting around in a van for 2 days now.

The delivery fella had something like 4.9 stars with glowing compliments, and I lost track of time having to constantly refresh the DPD app to see what delivery he's on (he was something like 15 deliveries behind last I checked, then I got a notification 10 minutes later that he left). I truly will have to just sit outside for a while tomorrow. There's no danger of the parts or monitor being damaged I hope, these kinds of things are usually packed pretty well.
Well, whatever, as long as the stuff is fine tomorrow, I'll soon forget about it.
I ended up waiting for like 40 minutes on the day lol. The package arrived and everything is perfect. No dead pixels on the monitor, hardware works amazingly.
If there's one tip for anyone else in the future, beware of the DPD live tracker. They were around 15 deliveries to go before the van arrived.
