Lost in the post

Anyone else not received presents ordered via the Interweb this year?

I ordered a gift voucher for an experience for two via Latminute.com a week ago and it hasn't turned up.

I'm very suitably pissed off, now I have to try and find another gift solution in the next few hours.

Anyone else been let down?

If you speak to Lastminute.com they'll be able to send you an e-voucher so that you at least have something to give to the other person. I've had this issue with them before and they were really helpful about it.

Yeah, the postie managed to open my amazon package and pinch 2 books on the way back to the depot.

Thanks.

I've emailed them and I am awaiting a reply.

Fortunately I close to a very, very coffee shop and I know the intended recipient loves coffee. I have just bought them a Bialetti Stove Pot, Coffee and a pair of Espresso Cups and Saucers.

Hardly surprised. I got home yesterday and found a delivery in the hall for a neighbour - we take their deliveries in frequently. When I looked at the address, the number was correct, but it was completely the wrong street - and my dappy daughter had signed for it. I took it round straight away in case it was someone's Christmas present, and you know, the woman didn't even say thanks.

Bah humbug!

never, ever use standard post for anything you need/remotely care about (from an ex employee ). I use special by 1pm, or anything priority with track number.

there are too many shister companies who say they've sent it when they haven't, from work and personal experience.

Not strictly a present, but LoveFilm sent me Left 4 Dead yesterday, and to my astonishment it arrived today.

Yep lost parcels the lot and my sister has told a lie and said I sent them back!!!! Only so she doesn't have to spend the money!

I've had a parcel delivered to the wrong house on my street.
Despite proof it was signed for this morning by the owner, he was about to deny all knowledge until I told him I had proof he signed for it and it was delivered to his house.

Merry Xmas tosser neighbour.

I had a load of stuff ordered from Amazon that did not arrive. What happens next? I have emailed Amazon, but how do they know I didn't receive the goods?
