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

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!
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.

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.

Thought you were talking about Austrian way of singing ^^ Obviously not...

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).
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

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.

They did, but all these things you do with sheeps, you know... They have decided that there must be other places where conversion is easier...

Whatever works!

I've been using Amazon for over a decade and only once had an item not delivered. I've been using Amazon for over a decade and only once have they used Yodel to deliver. I'll leave it up to you to imagine what the Venn diagram looks like.
They said a card had been left despite someone having been in all day, no card left. I updated the order when requesting redelivery with instructions on how to find the place, with a mobile they could call if they were having problems, but on re-delivery the exact same thing. No contact from them whatsoever.
I just hope they get so many non-deliveries that Amazon finally drop them.

I mean teams that have like <= 10 - 15 people. Where only 2 - 3 people qualify as Ops. Is it any useful?

I still haven't figured out what DevOps is. Whenever I read the definition, it just sounds like a newfangled way of describing "communicate between departments effectively."

It's a term used to market "added value"(euhg! there's a bit of puke in my mouth after typing that ) to managers who don't understand how experienced and skilled IT people work.
It's basically what most of us, who have managed to hold down a job in IT for more than 1 year, do.

Software services, basically. DevOps just sounds cooler?

Marc...
I have been looking at articles concerning DevOps and what it appears to be is a process by which developers accrue more responsibilities of what we used to call in the mainframe era, "production control". This means that instead of having a separate that handles the different processes of moving software into production, developers will take on a number of these responsibilities.
Some articles describe it, as you said, as a process of better communication. However, this is splitting hairs. How much more communication does a team require with its implementation team? It could be in many cases DevOps proposes to eliminate standardized procedures used for tracking the implementation processes (ie: request to implement forms). However, this does not make any sense as without such procedures you would have no way of tracking what was done when; unless of course these are the very procedures that DevOps would expect a development team to acquire.
Any way you slice it, this paradigm makes very little sense and is attempting to use the changing nature of software development to break down further the various vital divisions that have existed for many years in well organized organizations.
This is what happened in the 1990s with the dropping of such formal levels as business and system analysts, database review teams, and the like. The result is what you have today in many places; a complete useless mess...
