to give you the card
the package is at the depot, they can't be arsed to carry it, so they deliver you a card

They had the package.
The card said that they attempted a delivery to no avail and left me four options:

Try again tomorrow
Collect it from the depot
Arrange for it to be delivered at a certain time (for a small fee)
Fill in the form notifying the courier of a 'safe place' to leave the package.

I opted for the fourth one. *fingers crossed*

how do you know they had it with them?
if there was no evidence of an attempted delivery then there is no evidence that they had the package with them.

Believe me, it happens. I've been at home, had a card shoved through the door, gone out to collar the postie to be told that they didn't have it.

lazy cunts.

edit: rereading your post, a proper courier/delivery firm may well have had it with them I suppose

Yeah that's it.
Like I said, the postie failed the first time around; it was a courier company. I would have just collected it if it came via Royal Mail.

That post has been edited though so I forgive you.
