I ordered tickets for Leeds Festival a few months ago. Finally at the end of last week, I got an email saying they despatched the tickets, Recorded Delivery, on the 14th. They should take 2-3 days to arrive.
The 18th came and went, so I checked on the ticket agency’s web page to get the Special Delivery code. Then checked on Royal Mail’s web page. According to that, someone tried to deliver the tickets before 5:30am on the 17th. And they’d informed me that the packet was at the sorting office.
Bollocks. No card through the door and our post arrives at 10:30, not 5:30. It has done since they got rid of the second post that I never received. Prior to that, I actually got my mail before I went to work on about 3 mornings out of 5. Now I find half my mail is little postcards saying “We tried to deliver a package at 10:27 but BECAUSE YOU’VE GOT A ******* JOB we couldn’t”. OK, so it doesn’t have the bit in capitals, but it might as well.
Took the printout down to the sorting office, had a right whinge at the staff and (thank ****) got the tickets after a 20 minute wait. They are on my desk next to me right now and if anyone in the office touches them, I’ll impale their hand the the tabletop with a pair of scissors.
But what did they say about trying to deliver in the wee small hours???
Glad you got them though…thanks 🙂 getting all excited now
The guy on the counter said “we don’t deliver that early”. I pointed out that they don’t delivery “early” at all any more, but that was another matter.
I then got home last night (the 19th) to find that a card had been put through the door saying they tried to deliver a packet at 12:00 on the 17th… The very one I’d just collected from the sorting office. Looks like the postie had just taken the letter back with him and done the little cards later on, rather than putting it through the door at the time.
Lazy ****.
