tamaranthI was really looking forward to coming home and having a QNI with a good book -- especially as Amazon dispatched an order full of 'em yesterday.
But nooooooo. Because of the postal strikes, they have decided to divert at least some of their deliveries via Home Delivery Network, who left a card to say they had a parcel from Amazon for me but couldn't deliver it as I wasn't in. (Shockingly, I werk Mon-Fri. Who'd've thought?)
I've just phoned the number on the card.
- they don't deliver on Saturdays
- they won't give me the parcel number so I can't go and collect the parcel until I get the second card, on Monday
- but their depot ('in Gatwick', which could mean anything) is only open until 7pm
- which means I'll get my parcel on Tuesday evening
- which means I am feeling pretty put out (and hacked off at Amazon for choosing an alternate delivery method that actually doesn't work as well as Royal Mail, or even Royal-Mail-on-strike).
WANT MY BOOKS.
