The courier should have left contact details, but with your hours of work 7.45am and dont return from work until 5.30 - 5.45pm, I think the outcome would have been the same.
Next used to be dreadful with their expectations of delivery times from couriers, requesting after 6 pm for an extra 5p(I kid you not).Couriers can and do opt out of the time bands refusing those extra 5p's to have a life with their families.
Yeah I know I'm out of the house pretty much all day but I'd easily would have taken a days leave or half day if I had a date and or time frame
I'm very easy going with delivery drivers, I receive deliveries regualarly from others and dont mind being here to collect.I suppose I was just disappointed as it was the first time in years I ordered from the sale but in true moneysaving style I've saved a packet haha :rotfl:
Please will you come live near me and be a next courier here :T

Well i didn't get too much in the online sale this time but good job as just been sorting through my next size up stores, on sparfe bed and have far too much stuff again
May have to think of putting some on Ebay just to get rid of it and to get my ple down as little one now growing quickly and not sure it will all fit her now
Love sales but they seem to always be on now especially M&S
Still getting dribs and drabs from Next will be snding some Girls boots back which arrived yesterday as too big so may appear back online0 -

recieved a parcel today, however on the statement note it says next to an item DELAYED in red..... confused whats that about???
It means it wasn't in the warehouse at the time of picking your order so will be sent when and if it comes back into stock. Make sure you keep a check on your statements as i had a smiliar thing happen today, received my statement to find i had been charged for something that had been stamped on the despatch note as being delayed...Also received what was supposed to be 2 Haynes car canvas pictures for my little boy but instead was a box of 4 wine glasses...nice as they are i don't think they would look right on my sons bedroom wall0 -
My socks have arrived now too

Grrr had a confirmation of a return e-mail yesterday for a delayed item - except I didn't even receive it let alone return it. So I won't be getting that then.
STILL waiting on my last item and the only thing I needed and ordered for myself - a pair of jeans. Wish I had just gone into a store and bought them now, and not necessarily in Next.
