    I had a good one last week, online status said "signed for by homeowner" despite no-one being home. When we got home the package was on the outside windowsill next to the front door!
    loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.

    Most delivery drivers don't have English as their first language, so probably wouldn't understand it anyway.

    I had the same this week. Email to say parcel had been delivered and when I checked I had signed for it. Very clever since I was at work and had been for 2 hours lol. Mine got chucked over back fence in the pouring rain!

    Perhaps the delivery driver was a homeowner,therefore no lie as it did not state "The homeowner";)

    I know that people don’t particularly get a choice as to who delivers BUT the problems most people experience can normally be directly traced back to ‘free delelivery’ or an unrealistically low charge for delivery.

    Pay peanuts get monkeys.

    That's not an excuse for failing to deliver the service which has been paid for, though.
