DPD Courier - are they really going to deliver tonight?
Discussion
Normally I am really happy with DPD's service. This morning I got the usual text saying I was going to receive a delivery today. But unlike the normal 1hr delivery slot they advised, it said between 6am and 10pm!
I've been tracking the driver all day, and now (20:15) it still says he's an hour away from me. What's galling is that he must have literally driven straight past the end of my road at about 2pm, goodness knows how the computer has working out his route!
When I tracked it this morning and saw he was already in my (small) town, I thought there must have been a glitch and it would arrive turn up at any moment, so I've waited in all day. Was supposed to have an informal dinner date tonight, and I've been delaying all evening, telling her I'm still waiting for the courier. Not sure she believes me any more!

I do hope the same driver hasn't been at it for 14.5 hours.
Yes, according to the tracking it's the same van, I'm delivery No 101 apparently, although I don't think he left the depot before 9am. He's on no 95 now, and just drove past the end of my road again. Can't be far away now, it better be something good after all this!Hadn't thought of the the pre 1pm thing, no way he delivered anything before 9 or 10am. I think the trunk lorries get to the depot quite late in the night/morning as we're right down in Cornwall.
I was talking to one of their drivers a couple of weeks ago when he was delivering to me - apparently the handhelds/system won't let them scan as package as delivered if they're early - as that's before the delivery window and it would throw off the rest of their timed delivery slots.
He's now driven past and is 5 miles away in the other direction!
