I have an E-bay item I'm waiting on due to be delivered by RM. Trouble is it's difficult to work out who to point the finger at as the person sending it can sometimes put a marker that it's posted when it isn't and then post it late and say RM is delayed when they aren't. _\Hennessey|Venom| F5/___

Just to add to the moans about delivery companies - bloody couriers who are booked to collect an item and then don't turn up, reschedule and don't up again when you wait in for them
Bloody useless waste of space John

Fedex = F@%k UP
Not only are their drivers incompetent and do not know what size package they are allowed to take. Today he could not be arsed to pick it up despite be checking with the F@%k up office that it was within their limits. Brendan |

Oh, I forgot to mention, we have a certain cheap ass parcel company that hire your grandma of grandpa to deliver the packages. Most things you order from German Ebay gets send by DHL, which hands the packages over to that specific company when it arrives in Holland.
Guess what... More than often they sign the package as 'delivered' and bring it to your doorstep days later! |

That's what happens when you refuse to let the Germans on Dutch soil (again)
  Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing... |

That could be construed as fighting talk ZD!!!
Now DHL that wonderful efficient German courier company which just happens to own Deutsche Post another efficient organisation. DHL gets instructed to pick up a package. 24 hours, nahhh thats is far to fast, 48 hours just too fast, 3 days nahhh, lets take 10 days before they go to pick up a consignment. Then it takes the wonderful efficient German system 3 days to get it half way across Germany. When it finally arrives in the UK who do the wonderful efficient Germans give it to? Ahhh yes Parcel FARCE 
Now why do I hold couriers in such high esteem? Brendan |

You know what's funny? We have DHL over here in Holland. So why they drop stuff off to another s**t delivery company is beyond me...
