Postmen leaving a card saying you were out... when you were actually in

[Feek]

Another alternative? How about using a mischievous website that has been set up which allows you to print off your own ‘Sorry’ card to stick on your front door.

Cleverly designed to mimic the Royal Mail’s version, it reads: ‘Sorry, I Am In. You’ll just have to ring the bell and make the delivery.’

If I were a Postie and saw that on someone's door, it'd have the opposite effect to the intended.

Florist popped up yesterday to give me a package that had been left with her on Friday. Apparently I wasn't in (I was, all day) and he didn't even leave a card to say where it was. I didn't even know a delivery had been attempted.

This is by far my biggest complaint - not of RM, but of couriers. I had a perishable delivery (needed to be opened within 48 hours of dispatch) and it was delivered to a neighbour with no card for me - so I didn't know it had arrived and it had spoiled by the time I got it.

Luckily the supplier agreed a replacement.

To be honest you're probably not losing anything, likely they'll not do it anyway!
