Wife bought something on line and had a choice of paying for it to b delivered to our home or having it delivered to a local store for her to collect for free. She chose the store, as it was convenient but 3 days running I tracked it and each day it said it had been delivered to the store...
One of my wife's friends delivers for a courier company in her car and says that more and more companies are demanding a signature for goods rather than her just leaving the parcel.
YODEL deliver Saturdays and Sundays I think as I have seen their vans about and a neighbor delivered for them in her car for a while. She packed it in because somedays she didn't get her load until after 12 noon and had deliveries that were due for am delivery.
