>A package arrives at our house, between 10 and 2 - and of course, no one is in.  We get a red card through the door, telling us to wait 24 hours and pick the package up at the depot 3 miles away.  Of course, this depot is open from 7am to 1pm, and if you commute a great distance (as my g/f does) or start early (as I do at the moment) this is pretty useless.  But - you somehow manage to make it to the depot in time the next day, only to find (a) you have keep your finger on the bell for 90 seconds before a (very grumpy) man arrives at the window, and (b) that he can't find your package.  Despite Post Office procedure, it's actually been taken back to Glasgow (40 miles away) where it will probably stay for about a week, and THEN be returned to you (if you can pick it up), slightly bashed.

>Anyway, living similarily far away from a big city, have this problem?  The local depot is usually very apologetic - but that doesn't get your package any quicker (same goes for recorded delivery letters).
