Amtrak delivery

I received an Amtrak delivery card whilst at work. I phoned them to re-deliver to my work addy but they said they cannot do it. If they re-deliver on Monday I shall be at work again! If it is the gum, then I'm not sure I want to go all the way to Southampton to collect it (multimap said it would take me 44 mins)! :confused:
Thank you all who post.

    what a shame, hope you get it sorted - have you a neighbour that could take it in for you? Or somewhere safe to leave it - would it fit through your letterbox perhaps?

  • Bet it will be the gum (is that the Wrigleys comp?) as my mum entered a while back, and hers come yesterday, via AMTRAK. They re-delivered as she was out Weds..

    I only work 5mins from home so maybe if I leave a note they will wait for me, otherwise Lewpylew I'll send you my delivery card and you can have even more gum :D
    Thank you all who post.
