Christmas online deliveries

I have been lucky too no problems at all and thank heavens for Ocado!

I've done a bit of online shopping this year, and have been pleased with the speedy deliveries, so far.

I am awaiting the delivery of a mystery package which the card from the PO informs me did not have on it the correct postage. I’ve paid £1.50 online and suspect the item is going to be a Christmas card too thick for second class postage.

I shan't bore you with details but I've spent quite a lot of time this week coping with a delivery with an item missing and a completely different item in the box. From JL, no less!
TBH my life would have been simpler had I 'overlooked' the additional item.

jenpax I try and do the click and collect so if I am not going to be at home at least the click and collect place will keep the parcel for 7 days and I can pick up at my leisure. Not everything can be collected but that is my first choice.

But minor problems are sometimes more irritating than larger ones.

No I see that but I realise that compared to some of the problems we see this is relatively minor

I hate that phrase, First World Problem. I bet someone in poverty waiting for someone to bring them something from the nearest town, who is delayed, would get just as worked up as you, jenpax, probably more so.

Everybody has problems, no one is exempt from them and they vary according to income family circumstances and culture.
