Pete, I cant believe you let all the local burglars know your house is rife for pilfering and no one is home, by leaving them a nice note on your door for them to see no-one is home 
I got a delivery from City Link today, and they left mine with a neighbour, only they are 90 years old, and deaf, so I have to knock on their door, go back home, eat my dinner, put the kids to bed, have a brew, then go back to the neghbours, and they should just be about getting to the front door
I had a delivery from City Link the other week too, and they had tried to deliver at about 7.30am so they didnt hang about for me to come downstairs, they promptly pushed the card through the door, so I phoned em later on to collect the parcel on my way home from work, as its on the way
They said yes thats fine, just call round after 7pm, and your parcel will be waiting for you (they checked all the records etc first)
5 mins later D.K.1 texts me to say City Link have just dropped off a parcel for you LOL
The driver must have decided to take a chance at calling in again, so must have been passing on his way back to the depot, fair play to him, saved me a few quid in petrol

If it was just a next day delivery, we can't card any addresses until after 9am.

What the f*ck kind of retard 'english' is that?
The delivery is??? Is it? In what way is your delivery is? No wonder they were confused dealing with you, you northern monkey.
The plural is deliveries... assuming that's what you meant
Jeez...

they told me the drivers are out from 7am and dont get back until 7pm
I wasnt bothered to be honest, in fact I was really grateful he called back in the afternoon
I need to move to your local branch, lucky if I'm out the depot by 8.15 am.

Yeah yeah. Heard that bull**** many time's. "I've never left the house" - go back and there's a car on the drive when there wasn't when I left the card. "I was busy hoovering" - tough ****. "The doorbell doesn't work" - Yeah but my fookin fist did when I brayed on your door but you weren't in to answer it.
Liars IMO.

They do take the **** and it happens too often round this way, Ebuyer and the likes should stop using them until they buck this trend...
PS... I don't doubt that some do lie - and being in a service industry I know that can wear thin, but I ain't a liar and speak of personal experiences I've had...
Also my dog goes nuts when the doorbell is rung / knocked.

If you are going to try and ridicule someone with your apparenty superior grasp of English language, you should at least do so in the most relevant context
You and Pete, what a couple you make

My local postie would leave anything bulky on the doorstep, even if it was a signed for item (he'd rip of the tag) if we weren't in.
I think he's been replaced now though as it doesn't happen anymore.

Best I had when waiting in was for British Gas I think - yes, I know, it wasn't a delivery but the waiting for an arrival in a specific window is! They gave me the option of am or pm. am I said. Waited until about 12-30 and noone had arrived. Went to work or something. Got back and there was the usual card, 'we arrived but you were out etc '... rang them up and said I was in all am - they said 'ah, but a.m. can mean anytime until 2 ...'. WTF ....... !!!!
To be fair, most delivery drivers are fine with leaving things at neigbours etc. Even City Link!!

I'm not a liar Micky, when i have a £700 parcel on it's way - I'm damn sure I'm not going to go to the trouble by taking a day off work at even more cost to me JUST so i can wait in for a parcel that i decided later i could do without because i got bored waiting in... That would be very stupid

Off topic slightly, but Ebuyer's a funny one for the drivers at the minute. They send stuff out, say's 1 of 1 parcels on the lable and theres six parcels all the same. Then other times it'll say eg 2 of 3 parcels on the lable but only one parcel that day, and it doesn't come up that the other 2 are non arrivals at the branch.
What pisses me off the most, (I know for certain that it happens), is when drivers at my branch don't bother to attempt deliveries. I'm usually the one that has to get it in the neck off people who've sat in all day waiting.
Micky.

On the basis that a comma is very rarely ever used for the purpose of contraction where the second contracted word is the word "is", unless the preceeding word is a pronoun, your correction would more appropriately be that Pete's "retard" English was incorrectly suggesting the posessive.

Are we not talking about an apostrophe here?

Too all those at City Link that are far less bothered / interested than Micky is, in doing a decent job of it
My sti interior arrived by Nightfrieght today
oh and CityLink successfully delivered an Ebuyer order today with no grief

Really?
(point above about apostrophe taken )
Examples please.
You'll understand, I hope, that I am not prepared to accept the word of a (school physics?) lab technician on such a point without some evidence
Quite happy to be proved absolutely wrong, of course, in which case I will happily admit to my mistake
