Don't you just hate it when the delivery guy...

...leaves the note that your parcel needs a signature and you have to wait another day get your hands on the goodies?

Yes! I had that happen earlier this week.
My issue is that I'm currently in between 2 apartment units in the same building, and the package was billed/delivered to the old unit that I'm no longer living in. That isn't a problem as usually the delivery people can get keys to our building and drop the package off in front of our door, but when they arrive after hours, they can only drop off packages if you answer the door buzzer.
I guess that's the downside of living in a building with interior entrances.

lol, yes, yes, yes! I love the way they leave a sticker just as you're standing there ... and if you ask them for the parcel, "Oh, it's in my other truck!" ... GRR YOU HAD NO INTENTION OF DELIVERING IT TODAY!!!!

Ah well, I love parcels

That's why my things get shipped to work... sure, not wanting things to get stolen from the communal hallway in our complex plays a part but, let's be honest, I want my parcel in my hot little hands ASAP.

YES! Back when I lived in town and knew my delivery guy well, I wasn't above hopping back into the car and tracking him down.

I do the same thing as Rae - I can't stand to have to wait, so everything is delivered to my office.

At my office there is a strict policy of no personal deliveries to the work address. Just another draconian measure the new owners had introduced.

The WORST is USPS.

*ding dong* Oops, not home? The postal service leaves the tag, you get home in extreme disappointment that a)who knew you had to sign for this? b)why oh why don't I get my item today?, you have to fill out the card and just MAYBE they will bring it to you in two more days or most likely you will get a final notice sticker that it is being shipped back to England unless it is collected at a ridiculously far away branch that isn't even your postal branch during some extremely narrow window of time.

Yeah, this is never happened before....
