Two text messages giving expected time of delivery, shortly after the latest time had elapsed tracking stopped. Phoned local APC, deliveries had stopped for the day. I had left instructions for goods to be left on the FRONT door step which the person in customer relations read out to me. Next day, more texts to give expected time for delivery. This time delivery was made, but large, heavy packages were left at the side, gable end, of the house. I am quite some way past retiring age and have had to manoeuvre and move into the house two 30 kilo boxes out of the rain. A comparatively easy task had they been left, as requested, by the front door. To add insult the driver had put underneath the delivery photo, ‘As requested’. We have regular deliveries with drivers always happy to put parcels in the designated place.The ladies on customer services were very patient and helpful.
