Beam Me Up Scotty - 2022-12-02
Got an email today stating Startrack driver was unable to deliver a parcel & a card has been left in my door. I am disabled, I don't leave the house, no one knocked on my door or rang my doorbell & definitely no card left in the door to let me know!! I rang the company got a lovely helpful customer service person, who described a photo of the house the driver submitted to show the house he was unable to deliver to. Turns out it was NOT my house!! Now 'I' have to wait another 4 days to get my delivery. The delivery was a birthday gift for a friend who is travelling & is only going to be in town for the weekend. So because of the drivers incompetence to read the 'correct address on the package' being delivered, I now can't get my package & my friend won't get her birthday present!! I can't get in touch with the local branch to get it delivered this afternoon, as there is only a main switch number, & I can't get to the local depot to pick it up, as I mentioned, I am disabled. I understand that mistakes can be made in any workplace, but with a courier business, if a mistake is made by the driver, it's only right that he should have to re-deliver the package the same day the mistake was made, NOT punish the receiver by making THEM wait an extra 2 business days, & in my case 4 days because it's the weekend!!! I live down the road from the local branch, & in the country things are friendlier & can bet arranged for the sake of good business. Yet I couldn't contact them to arrange the re-delivery. Local depots are manned so they should be contactable directly, I had all afternoon to arrange it but couldn't. Why does everything have to be so hard when it could be so simple?!
