Topic: The Post Office / parcel deliveries

Once the PO took on mail order deliveries I used to receive notification by email or text that there was a parcel to be delivered.  This was followed up with a time slot or an option to divert, offer a safe place or delay.  Following delivery there would be a note to say parcel delivery.

Over the last few weeks this procedure is non existent.  The consignor now seems to be undertaking that role.   However 2 separate parcels have failed to arrive.  The seeds I was sanguine about but the expensive trousers is not acceptable.

Looking at the history on the tracking number shows that no delivery was possible on 8th April and I had been ‘carded’.  I was home all day and there was no knock or card.  It then goes on to show that delivery to my safe place had taken place on 14th April.  I don’t have a safe place, everywhere is visible from the pavement.

Now what do I do?  The consignor says to take it up with the PO but I only have a tracking number and it doesn’t say which delivery company.  There appear to have been several as the trousers came from the US.

Anyone else had this experience?
