    “The driver will not knock, so make sure you are looking out the window and prepared for the 4 second timeframe when the driver will stand near the truck looking at your property, wherein you may run out and scream ‘wait!’. If unsuccessful, a delivery will be reattempted on an unspecified date within the next 8 months.”

      And then you have some ridiculous retailers that don’t allow you to hold a package for pickup anymore. What the hell happened to that? I feel like it used to be when I had a package that needed a signature I could just request for it to be held at the parcel service center for me to pick it up later.

      But the last two times I had a package with a signature required, it wouldn’t allow me to do that. The package was going to be returned to the sender for ridiculous reasons. One was an age restricted item which I can kind of get, but the other wasn’t. Both times I had to beg and plead with the delivery company to hold the parcel even though it was not something they were supposed to do.

      And people wonder why Amazon gets so much business. They don’t make me take days off from work so I can hopefully receive a fucking package of the delivery person actually feels like ringing my doorbell.

      Never again with packages requiring a signature for me. I don’t work from home and my workplace is not in a location that can receive packages.

    That’s PostNord for you. Reminder that the CEO earns ~700k a month for doing helpful things like… introducing every other day delivery of post. Hmmm.

    Next time change the delivery to a postnord delivery box. Most of then are pretty close to housing, and you can pick it up any time you want

      I usually use those, but it wasn’t an option because the package (containing 24 liters of cat litter. It was on special lol) was both too big and too heavy for those boxes…

    and you decide to stay home all day. Nobody shows up. You go out to the mailbox and there’s a note saying the driver tried ringing the bell but nobody answered.

      Either that or they show up right as you sit down to take a shit, or while you’re in the middle of your shower
