Had a parcel delivered this morning at five past seven. Whilst I am pleased to have my order and I appreciate that he didn't know it was my day off but it does seem a little early to be banging on my front door! Do they have official delivery times?
I once sold some office equipment to a Nigerian chap on ebay, the next morning he rang me up all bright eyed and bushy tailed at 5.15 in the morning.
I said 'Do you know what the f3cking time is???' and he laughed and said ' The sun is up it's time to do business!' I was for once pretty speechless, but yes 7.05 seems early to be banging on folks doors to me too.
Same here EDDIE but between 09.00 and 09.30 now it can be any time, but having said that I know as a member of a postal survey most mail is delivered very quickly.
It's a change for the usual complaints that the parcel was just left on the doorstep, or that they just put a card through saying no reply and come and collect the parcel from the sorting office.
At least they bothered to knock.. I have a friend who regularly gets a 'while you were out card' plonked thought her letterbox whilst she was IN... I think she chased them down the road on one occasion... well, thats the French for you.. (her.. not the postman)
If it was Parcelforce, they can deliver even before 7am.
I once left alternative instructions for a parcel I was expecting - I asked them to leave it with my next door neighbour if I wasn't in. The parcel was delivered AT MY NEIGHBOURS at 6.50am!! I was up and around at that time, but he never even knocked on my door. I did complain, but I doubt it got taken seriously.
