So who pays for the delivery then?

Me, out of profit.

Steve.
A couple of years ago I was told Amazon were looking to have their own courier service, maybe this is their opportunity?
Amazon already do have there own courier service
Oh, who is it? I (obviously) have missed that!
And the "slack" still appears to be taken up by royal mail,Amazon already do have there own courier service
The days of useless delivery companies that can't give you anything more than a delivery day are over. They need to get real and start providing time slots so you don't waste an entire day waiting in for something that takes all of 5 minutes to receive.

If dpd/interlink can manage to offer an hour slot then the others can easily manage a two or three hour window. If they can't it proves they're inefficient and can't track parcels properly.
Which came from?...

Like a great many other people, you seem to have fallen into the classic trap of thinking that you are important enough to warrant special treatment. Unfortunately, I have the sad duty of informing you that you are not; well, at least no more important than any of the other one hundred or so people whose parcels are also likely to be on the same lorry. It is precisely because you are a relative nobody that you will receive your parcel as and when your delivery driver sees fit. Your delivery driver is often self-employed which means that he or she can work the hours that suits them ... not you. Are you with me so far?
This is, of course, all subject to satisfying one or more of the following criteria:-
1. You are in to sign for your parcel (not out walking the dog or popped to the shops or on the school run)
2. You are in earshot of your doorbell (not out the back or listening to music with your headphones on or snoring your head off on the settee)
3. Your doorbell actually works so you have some way of telling that somebody is at your door and they wish to communicate with you (if you really don't want me to bang on the window then get a bloody doorbell that works)
4. One of your neighbours is in to sign for your parcel even though it's not their responsibility but at least they are available ... unlike you
5. If none of the above works and you find a 'sorry we missed you' card when you get in ... bloody well read it before you start gobbing off. It might just give you a clue as to what the next step is
And finally, if you insist on coming to the door accompanied by a large angry dog with a bad attitude and bloody great big teeth, don't be at all surprised if you never see me again. It's by far the easiest and quickest way to get yourself on the banned list which basically means you can go fetch your own bloody parcels in future ... Comprendez!

There are two sides to every story and some courier companies need to improve their services and attitudes and so do countless numbers of customers need to change their bad attitudes towards couriers. In my opinion.
Steve, stop being pedantic.
If Scarlett Johansson is going to jump out of the box, I'll be happy to stay in all week waiting for the delivery!
#I couldn't agree more. Tesco's, Sainsbury's, Asda and DPD / Interlink can provide time slots - a three to four hour window is not unrealistic.
That's not an option!
Sorry. They accidentally delivered that package to me. I haven't got round to returning it yet!
Steve.
