Have just received another item from Amazon and I am happy with it.
But has this happened to any of you. I was informed this morning by email that the said item would arrive between 10.30 am and 12.30 and so it did indeed. That was good service.
Just looked at email and it was the delivery service who sent me the email. Would be great for other delivery services as you can be sure you are in at the specified times.
I've found that couriers DPD offer a very good info service for their deliveries...online you are told exactly where they are and when they will be with you, within a few minutes!
My experience with DPD is brilliant too, ours is always called BOB - they email and text me with anticipated delivery time, and you can check their progress on line (BOB is currently delivering No, 3, you are No. 94...)
Hermes seems good too, that's the one where couriers use their own cars for delivery.
At least twice Yodel have not delivered to me on the day the parcel was due, normal lame excuse of not being able to find the address and on one occasion they did deliver on time, the parcel was just thrown over the fence into a puddle.
I have lots of deliveries at home, the only ones who never give me a time are Royal Mail and Parcelforce. Hermes, DPD, Interlink, UPS, Yodel etc all usually give you a 1 or 2 hour time slot.
