I hate the dance you have to do with couriers.

Posted by Reagen Jul 8 '13, 16:08

"We couldn't deliver because you weren't home."
"Well, yes. It's between 9 and 5 so... Can you hold it?"
"No, we're going to try again."
"But I just told you I won't be... OK, after that you'll hold it and let me pick it up, right?"
"No, we need to make sure you're not home a third time."
".....GIVE ME MY STUFF!"

- In general, they won't let you. "it's not there." -- nm - Reagen Jul 8, 16:13 12
  - here, they let you pick-up later the same day, or they'll do the redeliveries. there may be more options, too. nm but: -- (link) - b. Jul 8, 16:37 6
    - er, durr, there *are* other options, too, right on the page. (I remembered redirecting in the past.) -- nm - b. Jul 8, 16:39 5
      - one more, please: that's for fedex. UPS has been similar for me, post office has fewer choices. -- nm - b. Jul 8, 16:41 4
        
        It's DHL. - Reagen Jul 8, 16:43 3

        Yep, I remember them here when they bought out Airborne and then closed their U.S. network. -- nm - Meg Jul 8, 16:47 1
        
        I've seen an increasing number* of packages from them and their trucks around in recent years - from inside the US, not just international. - b. Jul 8, 16:54
  - truck has to park somewhere...do folks drive them home? -- nm - budice Jul 8, 16:15 4
    - they don't want to reprocess every parcel on the truck everytime it comes in. -- nm - Reagen Jul 8, 16:35
    - I've been surprised to see a Fedex truck parked around the block from me...I always thought they left them at the depot. -- nm - Meg Jul 8, 16:24 2
      - We have a lot of AT&T trucks around here. - Spawn Jul 8, 18:08
      - that's an undercover MI:6 vehicle checking up on you -- nm - Remlik Jul 8, 16:37
The Forbidden Dance? -- nm - SpawnDroid Jul 8, 16:11 2
- "You are now carrying my parcel. It is the magic of The Dance." nm - ralph wiggum Jul 8, 16:15
- Thank you for calling UPS...Canadas #1 courier...please hold -- nm - Mohan from India Jul 8, 16:14
