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 one of my pet hates with lots of things including meetings, job interviews, appointments, deliveries. Sometimes it can't be avoided but sometimes it is just rude to leave us waiting. When I have something like this my anxiety is up for the whole day before it and then at most when the time has arrived and they are not there

    The courier company had my mobile number as they sent me the automated text. When it was clear it was going to be as late as it was their customer service could have sent me a message to update me, even if it didn’t have a new time but said it was going to be late with an apology... I would have still been anxious and stressed but at least informed.
