  • I've had a delivery attempted at 6:30am before according to the card they left.

    The way I read it, the OP wasn't complaining or asking when she should answer the door, more wondering what time deliveries start.
    A pretty reasonable ask considering the RM website stated that a delivery had been attempted before 0610, if this had been the case she had slept through them knocking or ringing.
    Maybe you should read the post properly.

    It's pretty reasonable to ask us when her parcel will be redelivered? When the day of redelivery will have been requested by herself, when said redelivery was arranged. So the lady knows what day it's being delivered, coz it was her choice, but she thinks it's a worry, to not know if they might be there early? I envy someone with that as such a worry, that it's worthy of asking on here about it! Lucky lady.

    Gosh, do have both legs down one knicker hole or are you just generally unpleasant?
    If you read the first quote you will see that the OP is asking what time RM commence deliveries.
    Not what day, or what time they will be knocking her door, or whether she should answer said door.

    Well, I'm generally unpleasant, but if you could show me how to check, I'll see if I 'do have both legs down one knicker hole' as well if it helps you out.:rotfl::rotfl: I love it. Brilliant :rotfl:

    I'm just waiting for someone to be nasty tomorrow so I can use this! Brilliant! :T

    OP I generally find that on the odd occasion I sleep past 5am, that's when RM (or whomever) choose to hammer my door down at 7am. When I'm up, dressed and around the house doing stuff, they never call. :o

    I would love a lie in but once I'm awake I'm awake. Always been the same. :(

    You seem so much nicer when you're not being spiteful. :beer:

    One of the many words of wisdom my Grandad used to come out with.
