Delivery with DPD.

The expectation is because they provide live tracking then they expect you to be ready at the door when they arrive. Hense the quick knock, wait 10 seconds and then bugger off if you don't answer immediately, with the assumption being you aren't at home.

I've had the live tracking be wildly put before. Last time it happened I checked and got the update at "13 stops before you" and then they knocked on the door

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.

I live in an apartment block with a locked communal entrance that has an intercom.
I feel your pain.

drivers usually drive around the rear of the building where the car park is, and then they take a photo of some big metal doors that don;t have an intercom on them....
then they drive off claiming no access...
I bet if they had to gain access because they saw £30 on the floor in the corridor then they would gain access within 30 seconds...


The drivers porobably have an app constantly nagging that they are falling behind, so the pressure invites the skipping of deliveries that might take more time than usual.

only courier that every rang me was some local firm I've never heard of.

I literally used to put the first line oif my address as
288A (2880 on intercom)

because people are too thick to read the instructions that are engraved next to the intercom.
they don't realise how to dial A because there is no A...


bring on the robot deliveries is all I say.

usually find evri parcels just dumped inside the main entrance too, they can't be bothered to actually take them to peoples doors...


I'm guessing postmen have their own key fob and all apartment buildings have a royal mail keycode on the system

Why didn't you wait outside as you said you were going to? I assume you had a one hour time slot with DPD.
