Who was the last courier firm to go bust, CityLink? Can I nominate UPS to be next please?
Few weeks ago ordered some items, on the wednesday got shipping reference from the company saying they would be with me by end of thursday, email from UPS saying the same, tracking said it being collected from castleford, arriving and departing wakefield, arriving tamworth ... so I arranged my time so I was at home thursday and due at customer Friday ... thursday afternoon updated email from UPS, won't be arriving today, now will arrive friday ... which it did but not very convenient.
Last week ordered more of same item from same company, email from them yesterday saying will be with me Thursday, hmmm should I believe it this time? will it actually be friday again? watched tracking, collected castleford, arrived wakefield ... then at 20:30 it said it had departed wakefield 3 hours in the future, what! then that status got cancelled and it showed arriving preston instead (heading the wrong way, but who knows what their routing is like) and eventually arrived tamworth before midnight, and loaded out for delivery this morning ... so decided I would risk staying in for it, driver arrived at roughly same time of day as last week, furtled around in the back of the van, climbed in the side door, obviously turning everything upside down, eventually emerges and shrugs "I ain't got it"
No update on tracking, so I'll have to see if shows as out for delivery again tomorrow, and they charge £12 a pop for this shit.
