Ordered stuffs from bike shop on t'web.
Get notification from their courier that the stuffs are on their way
Get card through door, saying stuffs are in bin. It's bin day, but fortunately the courier arrived after bin collection.
Bike shop on t'web have sent wrong stuffs, so I post them back.
Get notification from their courier saying replacement stuffs are on their way
Courier website says stuffs have been delivered. Lack of stuffs suggest this is not the case.
Contact courier using web form. Tick box marked "phone" for preferred method of contact.
Retrieve email from seldom used account giving me reason for non delivery of stuffs.
Alert The Boy that stuffs may arrive
The Boy is woken from his slumbers by the rattling of the door as the courier pokes a card through, unable to get an answer.
Next day I phone courier, so The Boy can go to their depot to collect stuffs. Not to worry, they say, the stuffs are on the van for redelivery, mid morning. I warn The Boy again.
No stuffs are delivered.
This morning I drop in at the depot on the way to work. Agh! they say, the stuffs are on the van for re-delivery, and have just this moment gone. They will be delivered after 11, which is handy as The Boy gets home from work at half 10.
I warn The Boy
The Boy fortunately gets home early, as the courier company must have been using GMT.
Stuffs have allegedly arrived.
