Couriers
or in particular, the Home Delivery Network.

I ordered some stuff online and they left a card saying we missed you today when we called to deliver, which is fair enough if they really require a signature...

Having today off work I arranged for them to redeliver today and I've been sitting a few metres from the front door in almost complete silence waiting for this motherfucker to show.

I wandered to the kitchen to get another cuppa and low and behold, the Home Delivery Network had ninja'd a slip under my door. I'm quite confident they didn't even try to knock because I'm sitting so close to the door.

Just going to get it redelivered to work this time, cunts.

They don't knock
They have you under surveillance and teleport the card onto your doormat as soon as you so much as walk to the other side of the room.
This I believe to be the only explanation.

Ring them immediately and get them to send the driver back.
They will tell you this isn't possible - it is. Ask to speak to the traffic room in the depot rather thant the customer services monkey. They have the power to send a driver back - if you tell them you actually saw the card come through the door and the bloke definitely didn't knock you might get this sorted - especially if you explain that you've taken a day off especially.

If they really won't budge, demand a Saturday delivery: again you'll be told it's not possible, and again it's a lie. Worst case make it your retailer's responsibility to get it to you either before nine or on a Saturday. They won't like it but the problem you have had today is really between them and their carrier. Remind them of this.

Sadly not. Even if I did they'd be ridiculously expensive.

Useful advice from Monty!

Makes a refreshing change from 'delete your account and die' I suppose

It does make things "interesting"

Well unfortunately
by this point I had already rung them and the stupid scouser woman said nothing could be done until the driver had returned to the depot. Didn't know she was lying at the time though - she said they couldn't make contact with their drivers.

I'm on the arse end of a two day hangover so I'm in no mood to argue. I'll phone her back and if they can redeliver - fine but if not send it to my fucking work. Gaaahh

Cheers for the advice though
