Firstly, i did`nt choose not to be at home, the nature of my job takes me away at a moments notice.
Secondly, a company that gives an option to collect, but fails to update their online service and thus causes a customer to make an unnecessary journey, is not one i would recommend or use. This was what i was annoyed with.
Are you saying that you were told to collect it, then when you got down to the depot they never had the parcel?
If you can post your order number in the Customer Service section here:

I shall speak with DPD as that was not on, that is out of order.
