If you feel uncomfortable with that, we can downvote you all around, until you drop back under 10K Laugh | :laugh:

Wait til you find out about the hidden "Redeem Points" page.

But I've already said too much...

Valuable, voluble, or vacuous? We're both where we are in rep points primarily for being Master Debaters after all. Laugh | :laugh:

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Congrats.

Here's a suggestion for Yodel (formerly Home Delivery Network): Try having the driver read the address on the parcel, drive to the address, and deliver the parcel to the address.

I know it's a radical departure from your current system of ignore the address; pick a random house; try to deliver to the wrong address; take the parcel back to the depot; lather, rinse and repeat, but if you give it a go, I reckon it might catch on.

You might also want to try not telling someone their parcel's on the van and having them wait in all day, when it's actually sitting on a shelf in your delivery depot being ignored.

While we're at it, if you're going to provide a telephone number, make sure there's a way to speak to a human. Having an automated system that repeatedly tells you "we don't have enough information to help you, please call back" just adds insult to injury.

Faarrrkkkking bunch of useless sunshines! Mad | :mad:

EDIT: The parcel finally arrived this afternoon, with only minor damage to one bottle.

The even better news is that I've heard back from the sender (BrewDog), and they're about to switch to a new courier, so Yodel won't be involved next time I order. Big Grin | :-D

Whenever I click the "Tracking" link on something I've ordered and it goes to the Yodel website its better to save time and click the lost item link straight away.

Austrian singers would be a better choice for your parcel delivery needs.

Strange. They always find me easily (which is amazing, given that even the Jehovah's Witnesses haven't worked out where we are yet) and deliver in good time. They've never lost anything for me (unlike UPS who don't even try to deliver but say I wasn't home anyway).

Maybe it's just their Gatwick branch.

The parcel finally arrived at 3:10 this afternoon, with only minor damage to the contents. Needless to say, their tracking page still hasn't been updated since 7:30. D'Oh! | :doh:
