"They just leave it at the door".
Fucking EXACTLY. They've started copying bloody American delivery idiots and started dumping parcels outside the house in plain view of the street (what's to stop someone from stealing it, or the rain from destroying it?!).
Absolutely infuriating! Imagine a parcel travelling hundreds, sometimes thousands of miles through a complex logistics network to get all the way to my door...
... And then instead of delivering it (it must be put through the letterbox or handed to a resident, as has always been the case for any delivery here), they just say "fuck it I'll just dump it", and they fuck off. Often they don't even bother knocking or waiting 30 seconds for someone to come to the door at all, even for the elderly.
Naturally they don't even close the garden gate behind them either. Utter disrespect for everyone and everything.
Oh, and that's all IF they even get the right house! Nevermind that the address is clearly printed on the package, and clearly shown on the house. They like to not only deliver to the wrong house, but THROW the parcel into a complete stranger's BACK GARDEN over a tall fence, and then have the nerve to take a photo of it as "proof of delivery"! The cheek!
Absolute cunts this new generation of delivery people, no basic respect, not doing the job properly at all, half the time the parcel never even arrives (and yet they'll say they attempted delivery - no you didn't, I was watching the garden the whole morning).
I fucking hate them with a passion.
Any new delivery company that is founded with the motto "we deliver parcels like it's 2005" is going to be hugely successful, because we're all sick of the current useless American-style lot we have now. Even Royal Mail's gone to shit the same way these days, and they were the last bastion of proper delivery people.
