I know we are in lockdown so should be home. But when ordering on line, does anyone else find it inconsiderate when they change the date of delivery, more than once sometimes. Even if it comes earlier, it may not always be convenient. How are we supposed to plan our days?

I have something, quite a large parcel that was originally coming Wednesday, yesterday got notice it was coming Tuesday, this morning another notice coming this morning. If I was a teacher or nurse I would be working so how is that helping me. OK It doesn't affect me but it could, they don't know my circumstances.

I haven't been affected Ann, but can quite see that it could be a problem.

There might be hospital out-patients appointments to consider too.
They can't be changed on a whim

We have had that several times and it hasn't caused us any problems as they were small parcels but a large parcel would as I wouldn't be able to lift it over the door step if J. was at work . So could see it being a problem for some people.

This is a large parcel so, one of the big disadvantages of now being on my own. I will just drag it to the garage for now. It is a chair, a replacement for my office chair but I am waiting for daughter to visit in April as she has put one together like it before.

If the date is changed and not convenient then you can change it by tracking the

parcel in most cases and making other arrangements. I guess it depends on the

delivery company but there’s a limited number of companies being used.

I did however forget one delivery was coming but we were only about five minutes away from home so wasn’t a problem and they had phoned to say it had been delivered.
My phone tells me when someone is at my front door :-D

Yes handy Von T's phone did that but I have noidea on setting up the cameras or changing the set up. :-) :-)

The camera is already set up Ann. Maybe your daughter could help add it to your phone.
We set ours to ring on both our phones when it arrived. <3 <3
