Yup, and of course you can't rearrange until they've tried the original delivery, failed, and left a card with a number for you to call.

And then you get home quite late from work, so you miss the time window for calling to rearrange for the next day.

So it finally gets to you somewhere useful 2 days later, minimum. Later if the redelivery gets sent to the wrong address because they're terminally incapable of noting amendments like "downstairs flat, ..." and keep failing to deliver to the door where nobody is ever in, upstairs.

Which, by the way, means you don't get the card with the phone number and the secret redelivery code on it. I had to use Google and some URL-hacking-fu to figure out a way round that one...

At least, that's been my experience with the last delivery from Nokia...

Here's to an improved experience this time
