mail-related venting

Dear Royal Mail,

When I come home and find a 'Sorry, you were out' parcel notification from you, my bad.

When I ring you up and ask can I please have it redelivered on Saturday 'cause I'll be home then and you tell me 'yes, no problem', I'll be mildly sceptical, but happy.

If you don't show up on Saturday, I growl a little, but am not surprised.

If I come home Monday evening, however, and find parcel in front of my door in the stairwell, I'll be pissed, 'cause, meh, not mine, bloody expensive, and (no insult to my neighbours who are weird but mostly nice), anybody could just have walked away with it, and then hummelchen would have sacrificed me to some chthonic deity and carved my bones into Scrabble chips or something...

Seriously, if you say you'll do it, do it right or not at all, kthnx!

No love whatsoever,

Me.

Yeah, that would be our Royal Mail. They can be really bad. And there's nothing you can do because they know where you live.

They sure do! Anything else I wouldn't have cared so much about, but that was a pretty valuable parcel...

Useful lesson no.1 about living in the post-privatization UK, then. NEVER ENTRUST TO THE ROYAL MAIL ANYTHING YOU CARE ABOUT, NOR ANYTHING VALUABLE.

I hear you, but fetching by hand would've been a wee bit hard and I'm not yet familiar with more reliable services. But I might have to be soonish ;(.
