I'm wondering if the courier company is DPD? They give a one hour delivery window and an online tracking facility that lets you track progress of the delivery van. I've had deliveries from them when at about 9.30 I've been about the 50th drop but still they've made the delivery window of say between 11.30 and 12.30. Allowing 10 minutes per delivery is over generous as in fact the delivery addresses are close together and often there's more than one parcel delivered to the same address. I'm a big fan of DPD, even paying slightly more if there's the option that they deliver rather than a free delivery with another courier.

It's UKMail part of DHL Currently delivering Stop 58..


That's about 4 mins. per Stop. No time window given. I'm expectiong my delivery around 17.00.


They count in STOPS as opposed to DROPS..


I'm not going anywhere until this evening then I'm off to The The Den to see Millwall take on Port Vale.


Foxy.

My order arrived. But driver went into one when I said let me just check it's all there.


7 items ordered. Got 3 items I could see ok and a small box that looked too small.

It was all there but the PVA bottles were smaller than I had expected...


Just got a lot of verbal. "Trust me man.Right. Trust me. Anything missing get back to them.. Don't tell me man.

Anything missing will come tomorrow. Right"


Well I was drop 97. Maybe he had a bad Day.


Foxy.

Same here.


It's really good having such a small delivery slot.

    • Hi - a friend sent me this link…   The car is neither abandoned nor stolen! (Nor ever has been, so not sure why that has been suggested). It is mine, I collected it from service (and MOT as identified by some on here) on Friday, driving home it had a bit of a hissy fit and broke down! AA attended on Friday, could not recover it until this morning. Spoken to the nice people inside Westminster carpet on Friday who couldn’t have been kinder, I moved the car back from the doors of the property as best I could without blocking more parking spaces. Recovery should be here imminently. Apologies for any inconvenience.
    • That's very odd if they won't answer. Do they just say "no, we won't tell you that"? I can understand they wouldn't want you to get the bread direct from their source instead of from them, but why not just say that? If they baked it themselves, I imagine they would be only too happy to let people know.
    • Possibly one of the other local garage owners may know? Also, it's possible if the owners and staff are still in the area that they might see your post. They didn't post on here themselves (to the best of my knowledge) but they must have known that I did, as a couple of times the lady who worked in reception phoned me to ask me if I could  post in the "Lost" section when something dropped in Hansler Road had been handed in to them. Unfortunately I only have their office landline  number, which presumably disappeared when they closed. Good luck! Hopefully your service manual may turn up in an unexpected place.
    • Well, that was my initial thought too, but having re-read the thread, it seems that the car was left outside Westminster Carpets. Maybe even middle-aged Lotharios can't ignore the low, low prices in their 'Remnants, Offcuts & Roll-End Sale'.   Do you know anyone with a second generation Fiat Punto (1999-2010)? Because 5 to 1, the key will fit.  I'm out of the country, watching the cricket, just now but if you can get it down to the Catford/Sydenham borders in the next couple of hours, I've got a mate who can 'look after' it. It'll be at Tilbury docks by 6 o'clock. Have you ever driven a car with an F1 style, flappy paddle gearbox before?
