How do you guys get Parcels?

[BBx]

Usually get it all sent to work. Everyone does. Reception are used to it

Otherwise get it sent to my parents. If I can't do any of those I'm lucky enough to be able to arrange to work from home/wait for it before coming into work.

I only get small things sent to work, after an incident where I ordered a five foot punchbag and it arrived full of sand. I thought it was just the bag. Was quite amusing for them I guess to watch me drag a five-foot, hundred-kilo mass wrapped in a tarp across the car park. Anyone else must have thought it was a dead body.

I normally only order stuff when I am at home. It'd be a holiday from Uni so I'll be in and awake, unless they deliver at 7.30am or something stupid. So normally its a 15 minute walk to the sorting office if its Royal Mail or somehow persuading Mum she really wants to drive to some dirty industrial estate in Milton Keynes.

I was very tempted to say that.

Bloody Citylink

I ordered stuff from Ebuyer last week and requested delivery on Friday when I got home. Stupid ****ers sent it out early and Citylink tried to deliver it on Wednesday - I was still on the rig and Kelly was at work, so they carded it. I got Kell to ring them and re-arrange delivery for Friday. I waited most of the day on Friday and then phoned them to find out what was happening. I didn't get through top the local branch, must have been a regional office. The girl said she didn't usually answer calls about the Newcastle depot but from the calls she did get, she said they were "Bloody useless" - I was forced to laugh. She said the instruction to re-deliver on Friday had gone through but the local branch had simply failed to do so. She arranged for delivery on Monday and gave me the number of the local depot so I could phone them and make sure they didn't **** up again.

If it's royal mail is either gets left in the porch or the local collection place is only 5-10 mins away and open at 7am so pick it up on the way into work. Otherwise I get it sent to work who are normally pretty good - it's that or drive to the nearest depot for other companies which is normally Cov or Birmingham I believe :s
