Parcelforce - where to begin?
I ordered a bike yesterday, expected delivery Thursday.
This morning, I discovered a card on the doormat to say they'd tried to deliver at 1110.
That would be exceedingly speedy service, had they managed to actually deliver the bike...
I've now got to go to WH Smiths to get it, in the middle of the town centre, so I've got to carry a bike in a box for about 1/4 mile.
Thanks. Thanks a bunch.
And the really annoying thing? My partner was in, when they didn't ring the doorbell.
I'd have been in too, had I not gone to the sorting office to get the things that Parcelforce didn't deliver yesterday!

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

Well, if I ever saw them I would. Delivery drivers have great stealth skills.
I wonder if they're all retired ninjas? :ph34r:

My dear online only electrical goods retailer, I accepted your "next day delivery" promise, which you offered all the way through the sales process on a Saturday actually means Thursday when you're at work when you get to the checkout - so I had to arrange delivery for the following Saturday which is a week after placing the order, not a day.
I'll even accept your "timed 4-hour delivery slots" some time between 8am and 8pm won't be confirmed until 8am on Saturday morning meaning that I can't plan to do anything at all on Saturday until I get the text. You won't even let me pay extra to pre-allocate a time such is your desire to stop me getting out on the bike.

But do you really think it's a good move to instil confidence in your products by passing my mobile number on to a warranty company who ring me two days before delivery and tell me how unreliable, temperamental and downright cr@p the appliance I've just spent £500 on will be and why I simply must protect myself from it spontaneously exploding 3 minutes after it has been delivered by signing up now to a £7/month service plan for the rest of my life?

I feel sad for you :sad:
See you begging in the city centre every day
But for goodness sake
If you and a "client" decide to have a sh*g
Please don't choose the rear of a busy public office
You have a vast audience
:eek:

Dear Renault.
I like the Megane - it's easy to drive, devastatingly economical, comfortable and easy to park.
But the satnav. It's absolutely shocking.
Reboot, writing route data, reboot, writing route data, on an endless loop.
The best use for the satnav screen is as something to lean my phone on so I can use GoogleMaps. Which is a gazillion times better.
Please do it better.
