    We've had DPD drivers sitting outside the house for 10 minutes in the van because they were there before the time slot...

    Computer says no if they try to deliver early.

    And when they have more than one delivery for you and stand and make polite conversation until the next one can be signed for ;)

    I've not had that happen yet, but it's only a matter of time.

    Our guy is great, they were actually delivering on Saturday (despite it being a mon-fri service used) over the weekend, I suspect they realised it was the best way to keep the slots open for stuff ordered over the weekend to be delivered on Monday.

    So far I've not had a single missed delivery with them, and when I had an incoming package from the EU to be delivered on a day when I had an appointment I was able to delay it for a day no bother.
