I Want You To Know What Really Grinds My Gears

If you live in the UK. Right, when I am expecting a parcel to be delivered by the Royal Mail. Sat at the kitchen table drinking my coffee and I hear the sound of the letter box. Usually, I am there like a bat outta hell. Check the mail and there it is. The little note indicating I wasn't in for the parcel. Quickly opened the door and shouted the man that I am in. Turns out my parcel is at the Post Office. It is like why the hell would you lie to me and why the heck am I paying delivery if I have to walk five miles to the office because they are too lazy to deliver it. It is like argh!

Typical Post Office.I would insist they deliver it since they had obviously had no intention of doing so.Can't believe they would actually send a guy out with the note but no parcel.And you do need to be Speedy Gonzales to get to the door.Make sure you complain.
These days they are supposed to try and leave parcels with a neighbour-but that's a bit difficult when they don't actually have it.

That problem isn't specific to the uk.

I say UK cause of the company Royal Mail.

@Cuddlefish: I've had the same problem in the US with the regular mail, UPS, and FedEx. Especially if the package is heavy.

We get UPS and not sure about FedEX but oddly UPS is like really good over here.
