Hi Guys.
How many have suffered similar at the hands of the drop it and run Postal couriers?

Yesterday myself and a colleague (2 men because we were to work on a live Ammonia system).
Were waiting on a before 10.00hrs ORV valve delivery, to a extremely large site.
Having advised the site security / gatehouse and main reception prior. We did not expect any issues!
However by 10.30'ish we started to wonder where said parcel was?
Despite checks with site personnel at various locations on-site and eventually contacting the supplier / courier via our office.
(delivered to goods in at 08.45 and signed for by "Andy"!)
It was 14.15 hrs before we tracked the parcel down, which had been delivered to the V.M.U.
(Vehicle garages at the end of the site ..70acres!)

Where the stores said "Oh yes! We get site deliveries for most of the site and "Andy" had indeed signed for said TNT parcel at 09.50.

Apparently the couriers like the fact that the parcels can just be left by the garage doors (Which was were ours was.) and cut and run.

Because of this fiasco despite a well planned early (and paid for!) delivery the day was abandoned. With a return visit required today to have enough works time to complete the task!


We as a company have now lost on this job because of the labour and it is simply because of the cheers and gone delivery driver mentality.
