I've just received my first order from the States
(to the UK) - the Dacta community vehicles from Kaplanco.
I'm not happy with how it was delivered. I just discovered the box
on Saturday, left out in the rain, by the front door and wedged in
amongst the rubbish bags by the dustbin. I'm sure I walked past it
several days in a row, thinking it was something one of my flatmates
had chucked out, before I looked more closely and noticed the Kaplan
name on the box. Luckily, although the outer box was soaked, none
of the sets inside were affected.
Two more days and the dustmen would have picked it up...
What happened to the idea that if someone's out, you take the package
back to the local depot and leave a card
telling them where they can pick it up from? That's what's happened
every other time I've had something delivered.
I'm not blaming Kaplan for this - they did exactly as I requested,
and had the stuff shipped out from the US by ParcelPost. But I would
like to know who in that case would been responsible for delivering
the package in the UK so I can write them a very angry letter.
Anyone any similar experiences? Or does anyone know anything about what
ParcelPost is in the States?
Thanks!
btw, once I'd opened it, the community vehicles were great! (And I seemed
to have two extra sets that I hadn't asked for)
