Apparently DHL are also useless
Went around to my girlfriend's place on the Oxford Brookes campus today, and when I got there there was a DHL "We called, but you weren't in" card leaning on the buzzer.
To be fair to DHL, they didn't have much choice about leaving the card outside - in their infinite wisdom, Brookes don't put letterboxes on the front doors of their blocks of flats. (They expect all mail to be placed in students' pigeonholes... but won't sign for student's parcels and packages. Geniuses!)
What made this situation difficult was that they did not specify on the card who the package was for. In fact, they didn't even specify the flat number.
There's 8 flats in this block. 6 rooms per flat. So any one of 48 people could be due a parcel, and DHL don't specify who.
Couriers: exclusively idiots, or only 99% idiots?
