They are the same company.
Could you guarantee he'd be in? He might have just slipped down to the shops believing he'd get back in time to accept the delivery.
Are not most parcel force delivery drivers self employed owner drivers? Perhaps they have to pay for the handheld device and some may think it is cheaper to do it by hand until they realise it's not too efficient.
I have my proper signature and an alternative, and repeatable, signature for those hand held pads.
That is true of Yodel and Hermes, but not Parcel Force.
Idiot. I WAS in. If the driver happens to be there early, and the customer happens to be in, why not deliver it then?
Yes they're the same or linked. Interlink is the consumer version perhaps.
I thought you were about to say you'd caught him having a coffee break etc.
But if you are in, there is no reason for them to wait.

Agreed, but that depends a bit on whether there's somewhere they can easily park outside the house while waiting. At my current house there is, but my last one there wasn't.
Why not pull into your driveway?
They can't delivery early. Their data loggers will not accept a signature earlier than the earliest time allotted.

Which is what I originally pointed out was stupid. If the driver is there early and the customer is there early, there is no harm in delivering it early. The data logger should only disallow "customer not in" being entered too early.

Many houses don't have them.
Why would anyone buy a house with a part missing?

Someone has to.
No they don't, nobody is forced to buy a house.
Because a lot of very nice houses in towns date from a time when the hall-boy would whistle up a hansom as required, which negated the requirement to keep a carriage.

Doesn't change the fact it's inconvenient in the 21st century. Plenty houses like that have been given a drive.
