I’ve got a delivery from the US.
I wasn’t at home when it arrived. There wasn’t a card but according to the tracking number, it was supposed to be delivered the next day by 6pm.
I stayed in all day. I was pretty sure it wouldn’t arrive.
By 4pm I was sure and called and asked. They said it was on the van.
By 5pm their phone lines stopped answering.
By 6:40pm no parcel and the website said their office hours were 9am to 6pm.
I rang the US International office. They said they’d have to put me through to the UK office. I explained that this would be shut. But they gave me the UK International number anyway.
Which turned out to be wrong. It was an 0845
number and I had to redial with 0345
. Finally I got through to reach an answering maching which said they were shut.
And they disconnected.
Why was I so sure it wouldn’t arrive?
‘cos this happened exactly the same last time.
