Hammo Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hi All Have a new Riflescope being delivered today, sadly via UPS The best detail they can give is 'out for delivery today, before 8pm'. Gloomily sat facing the window all day, in case they sneak a card through the letterbox and zip off. Began to rise from the armchair half an hour ago, as I saw the unmistakeable dog-**** brown van, but it sped on by at a rate of knots; and seems to have carried on out of sight. At this rate, it will be dark before I get chance to zero!! wet day forecast tomorrow, of course Hammo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bear-uk Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 The Wife has been waiting for a parcel. 48hr tracked delivery by Royal Fail. It was in Leeds on Thursday night ready to be delivered about 20 mile away to her on Friday. It then went to Wakefield, about 35 mile away and has since been in and out of the depot all weekend and today. Bodyshop items are going to well **** up by the time it ever arrives.

Danger-Mouse Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I've just had a couple of items delivered by UPS. When I say delivered, I mean dropped at a shop 2.5 miles away and no card left to notify me where they'd been left. The only reason I located my parcels was because I contacted the vendor and they provided me with a tracking number. I complained to UPS and it's taken them 5 days to reply and even then it appears they can't comprehend my complaint. A pathetic level of service.

Hammo Posted January 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Well...... It arrived!! about 4pm, so took old scope off the .243, mounted the new one, and scooted off to my nearest perm for a quick zeroing session before the light faded. Thank Jeebus it shot high but laterally OK, was shots on target in three rounds, and fine tuned at 100m with another ten including a five round confirmation group. Hammo As mentioned above, DPS are very good - 1 hour delivery window which they actually achieve!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 And did you say a big thank you to the UPS Driver after the slagging off that you opened this thread with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClemFandango Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 I reckon the delivery drivers around my way have a webcam in my bathroom or a pressure sensor on my bog seat because every time I sit down for a poo...

Bigbob Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 I never worry about delivery dates alouth i stay in central scotland i treat it like staying on the isles there deliveries are often later than they say and they come when they come , hence i never pay for next day deliveries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moondoggy Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Just received a letter through our letter box today (25th January 2018). It was a Christmas card posted from Derbyshire to Louth in Lincolnshire. Postmark says they processed it on 20th December 2017. It was posted First Class. Makes me wonder when we would have received it if it was posted Second Class? Good old Royal Mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
