I ordered something from an online retailer that I’d never used before and when the tracking information appeared, it was for a local courier company that I’d never heard of before. When I Googled them, I read a raft of terrible reviews. Most of these complained that the company would update the tracking with “delivery attempted” when no one called, knocked, or rang the buzzer. One person actually obtained security footage from their lobby and watched the delivery person get buzzed in, walk into the lobby, and then do a 180, taking the package with them. The package was then marked as “lost”.
In general, the whole “delivery attempted” BS happens with so many delivery companies. About a week ago, I had another item that I purchased be delivered by another local courier. I got the whole “delivery attempted” update but I was home all day and no one called me. The next thing I know, my package was on its way back to their shipping depot. Now I’m not sure if it helped but I sent a message to them immediately that they better try to attempt to delivery my package again and not give me that garbage ultimatum where they tell you you gotta go to them to get your package. Now, the next day, my package mysteriously wound up at my door. Oddly, no one called nor did anyone buzz me. How did they get access to my building then? Now for some of the bigger companies like UPS, FedEx, Canada Post, and Amazon, they get a dedicated fob to help expedite deliveries but this company was not one of them. If they somehow already had access to my building, why didn’t they just delivery it on the first day?
Anyways, with this latest package, who knows when I’ll get it.
