Parcelfarce: had stuff delivered to my current address by them fine before, including when we haven't been in and they've taken it half a mile to our local post office.

Here's the end of the log for a 48hr service:

12th being last Friday, I'd been to the pub to support the World Naked Bike Ride, got home 3:30am. I haven't had a "you were out card". I message the eBay seller to tell him what's going on and confirm my address is correct. He contacts ParcelFarce and tells them not to be such muppets...

So, what kind of muppet was too lazy to ask for help when he didn't understand how to find a building that's been just off the named road since 1975, and why the fuck did it take them until Wednesday, 6 days late, to get it out of a van and to my door?

Finally, "Delivered" with a name and scrawl I don't recognise wouldn't be quite so panic inducing if there was also a photo of the door they'd delivered to (or attempted to).

tl;dr:
Read a map
Try to contact the addressee or sender if you've got a problem
Leave a "you were out card", with a photo of the door.
If you've missed your advertised timescale, don't waste more time moving it from van to van.
When something is signed off, get a photo of the door.
