Aaaaaaaarggggh, Royal Mail!
My post usually arrives around lunchtime. Today I took the wife to work and dropped the car off for an oil change. By the time I got home, 09:40, the post had been, and left me a card saying my new washer pump had not been delivered as it needs a signature.
Today I have the car all day, so could have fitted it. Now I can't even GET it until tomorrow

OK, not being argumentative, but they didn't have an appointment with you so I don't think you can complain too much. Most people's view of the post is earlier the better. And if it needs a signature there's not much they can do. If they'd left it without a signature, that would have been wrong too.
Secondly, you could try going to the sorting office this afternoon as it is probably back there by now. They just put next day on there as that is the very latest it will be there. If it was with the postman he would have finished around 1pm so it will be in the sorting office from then on.

Yeah, I know they don't have an appointment, my gripe is that I sort-of arranged the day thinking that since the post has been delivered between 12.30 and 2.30 every day for the last month, it MIGHT be the same today.
So today, they change it and it's here between 8.00 and 9.30.:rolleyes;
And yes, I went to the PO: it was shut; 3.15 before I could get the car back and get up there Just not my day

Upstairs has definitely seen an improvement. Downstairs, not much difference if any really. I have the 'stat set to 25 degrees and am currently wearing 2 layers, not 3. Can't afford to have the heating on all day so just wear my wooly hat when required.

That's positively tropical! Are you growing weed in the roof or something?

Was told to call back the next day, and thankfully it was (even though it would've easily fit through the letterbox, and didn't require a signature). The same woman was on the desk and asked if I'd been back home since the day before as there was another package there for me. I had been, so assumed I'd just missed him when going to pick up the other parcel. Nope, no card even left, so if I hadn't gone back, I'd have 'lost' a parcel.

Think mine were changed to 48hours?
Had a missed parcel once, went to collect and they gave me the wrong one, what they gave me was a parcel for my father who lived in a different estate
Of course when he went to collect his parcel they had lost it.
About 3 weeks later, my parcel was left outside my front door for when i came home from work
Eeeejits.
