Pacerline, the worst delivery company ever??

What a run around! My SE K850i mobile phone developed a fault last week and I had to sent it back to O2. They were really good and dispatched a replacement the same day they received my faulty one, however, the courier was shocking!
I had an email from O2 saying that if no-one was in to sign for the item, Parceline would post the phone or leave it somewhere safe. Fine by me, I live in a nice block of apartments and the lobby is covered by CCTV.
Got home from work on Friday, they'd left a card. Fair enough I thought, I'll give them a call and see if I can collect it from their depot or arrange a re-delivery. I rang the number and it was completely automated so I arranged a re-delivery for yesterday as the card they'd left had a section to sign if you wanted them to leave the parcel in a place you specify. I duly signed the card, taped it to my post box asking for the phone to be left under the post boxes.
I went home at lunch yesterday, nothing. Got home @ 4pm, still nothing so I tracked it online. The tracker said a delivery had been attampted and a card left. What a lie! If that were true they would have seen the first delivery card taped to my post box telling them to leave the phone! They've now sent it back to O2 and I have to start all over again trying to get it delivered! Suffice to say I will be logging a complaint with O2 and Parceline. You can't even arrange a am/pm or Sat delivery because they want an extra £15 for it!
RANT OVER!

I always thought the signing of the card was only for future deliveries? (i.e you have to snail-mail it back to them and they keep it on file)
I have a poll / discussion on Economy 7 / 10 off-peak usage (as a % or total) and ways to improve it but I'm not allowed to link to it so have a look on the gas/elec forum if you would like to vote or discuss.:cool:
