Ordered a stick of 4gb crucial memory for my Synology NAS on Tuesday the 23rd from Amazon, they said delivery would be yesterday which was Friday 26th.
Waited in last night and no delivery, had the usual "there's been a problem with your delivery, sorry etc itll be here sometime soon" which usually means whatever i ordered has been broken or lost in transfit and will be 1-2 weeks longer than it should be.
Woke up this morning to notification on my phone that my delivery was 8 stops away so i thought oh ill wait to go see my old man with the grand kids til its here.
The deliveries left counted down on the app, i was sat on the PC anyway and saw the guy driving down my street so went to have a look out of the window, hes parked near the end of my drive for a second and drove off.
This happened like 4 times, he drove around all the streets near me over and over without stopping, back to mine then pulled up, then drove off.
It was raining so i couldn't be arsed to run down the drive to him, and no way to contact.
Few minutes later the doorbell rings, its our usual royal mail postman who says "I've just found this 2 streets away on the floor in the road, its not ours look its one from Amazon but i thought i would bring you it anyway in case it was important", then hands us the package Amazon was meant to bring.
Must have only just dropped it because it wasn't very wet and its been raining fairly constantly today.
I'm pretty shocked lol.
Still says "Out for delivery" on the Amazon app, wonder what will happen now.
Thats nothing. We had DHL delivery at work one day and he couldn't be bothered to drop the roller shutter door on his way out and a parcel fell off the back of his van. It contained a brand new top of the range iphone.
ANother time I was expecting some very expensive high end headphones to be delivered at work. Didnt arrive and checked tracking which showed it had been signed for but name meant nothing "Simon". On checking with courier company, driver said he met a bloke in the car park at my work offices wearing a Man Utd shirt who said he would sign for it! I pointed out that could have been anybody and they didnt even need to work for the company I work for!
The best was my father's delivery of a new chainsaw. No card or delivery so checked with online merchant who contacted the delivery company who said driver had left it on his front door step! So they sent him a new one free of charge. 3 months later he goes into the greenhouse in his front garden and there was the original chainsaw!
