GOD DAMNIT! >_<
WHY will the Royal Mail not just GIVE ME my damned parcel?!
It's bad enough that they DELIBERATELY shut JUST BEFORE I can get there
every single weekday JUST TO **** ME OFF, but NOW it turns out that they
only actually open ONE DAY each weekend as well. So there's only
actually ONE DAY in an entire week that I can pick up my mail.
No doubt they won't open at all tomorrow because it's a bank holiday, so
that means I won't be able to pick up my parcel until next weekend - and
by then, the ****ers will have sent the parcel back to America. Not like
I haven't already waited several weeks for it to get here. But because I
was away from home for one friggin' day, now I can't have the parcel at all.
GRRRR!! I WANT MY PARCEL!!!! >8-[

Heh, well, I guess I *could* spend 1.25 hours driving from Coventry back
to Milton Keynes, pick up my parcel, and then spend another 1.25 hours
driving back to work... but I don't think my employer would be too
happy. (Assuming that fatface actually notices, of course...)
I presume I'm not the only person on Earth who has this problem.

You can ask for it to be re-deliverd on Saturday morning.

How do I do that?
More to the point, is there some way I can get large parcels to be
delivered the first time around? Obviously I can't make the letterbox
any bigger, but maybe I could build some kind of enclosure or something...

There should be a phone number on the card they left telling you that you were
in the wrong place when they called with a smile. ;)

Two options:
1) Take a vacation day so you can go get it at your leisure.
2) Have it shipped to your work address.

Do you think you are the only one in your company with this problem? What
do other people do? Just never order anything?
If your employer is really so inflexible that they do not allow personal
packages to be delivered there, and they do not let you arrive a bit later
or leave a bit earlier one day to collect your package, then I would just
phone in sick one morning while I go to the post office to collect it.
In Germany they have the "pack station" that solves this exact problem.
Unmanned 24/7 place in almost every town where you can collect and deposit
parcels - genius.

They live 10 minutes down the road from where they work. (Remember, I'm
the only person who commutes there.)

Yeah, maybe. I'll probably just get Eric to pick it up tomorrow. (Ah,
but now he needs proof of authorisation... *sigh*)

That could indeed be quite useful...

Did you ask your boss if you could work slightly different hours for one day
to allow you to pick up your parcel? It would seem a bit unreasonable if
they said no, assuming you had nothing planned at work for the first or last
hour of your day.
