Delivery Time Slots

Anthony

So I should start by saying that I am very literal when it comes to punctuality... if someone gives me a time I take it literally. Last week Morrison’s were 15 minutes late with a home delivery, yesterday Sainsbury's were 75 minutes early and today DHL are supposed to deliver a parcel between 12:20 and 16:20 - its 16:14 and I am already getting crazily worked up because they only text the time slots in the morning so all my plans got changed last minute, leaving me on edge all day, now it looks like they will be late if indeed they deliver at all. Why invent time slots if nobody keeps to them?!?!?!

I don’t think I’m asking anything as the question above I’d rhetorical. I just needed to air this though people are welcome to discuss.  It’s now 16:17 - 3 minutes to go - this isn’t looking good.

  • This is something that grinds my gears too.    It's just a basic lack of respect for the customer.        I'm expecting a boiler service today - anytime 8am to 6pm - a waste of a whole day for a 10-minute job.        The guy will just take the cover off to check condition, blow the dust out and put the cover back on (it's a new boiler).      I'm already agitated so I've been up since 1am.

    I totally get that and the irony is that they probably already know roughly what time you are scheduled for - so they could have told you. It’s deeply frustrating - I’m vowing to boycott whoever I can that exacerbates my traits. As a result UK Mail and DHL won’t ever receive my custom... sadly I can’t stop people using them to send stuff to me.
