I mean, don't get me wrong, it's dead handy to know that they're actually trying to deliver when people are actually going to be in, but well, you'd have thought they'd work out the difference between business and domestic addresses...
You'd be surprised how many companies will send stuff to places like schools without actually putting that its a school on the address, for example 94 Lucerne Avenue i had once, buggered if i could find it. Wasn't until i'd spent 5 mins on Google that it came up as the school, made harder by the nearest numbered house being qtr of a mile further up the road. And those school supply companies that send goods out in the middle of the school holidays confused

I've used Interparcel for years. Can't fault either them, or UPS/DHL who usually handle the deliveries.

All that jazz

I can understand that- I have a friend who lives in a street with four No 1’s to 6's – i.e 1 *** Street. 1 *** Terrace, 1 ****Mews and 1 **** Gardens.

They now know each other fairly well at their regular deliver swap

Just been informed my parcel has been collected by parcel force. I may well have dodged a bullet as its now in Parcel Forces hands.

I remember buying a Safety Devices rollcage many years back. They tried getting Parcelfarce to deliver it. You can imagine how badly that turned out...
