Safe delivery
Permalink Closed


Good afternoon all.

 

Just completing final accounts and needed to look closer at an invoice. 

My client received  an very expensive part and I just wanted to check it had been analysed correctly.

Attached to the invoice was the delivery note ;

"Sorry you were not in Guv, I have hid your package in the bush."

 

The package measured just under 3 foot square, safe as houses.

*shakes head knowingly

I've had things dropped over the back gate/fence - which is about seven foot(?) so lucky the items in question weren't fragile - but worse, I've had one item left in the recycling crate thing.

It was after the rubbish men had already emptied it (obviously) and the delivery man "helpfully" brought it in from the side of the road and put it by the back gate, outside obviously, so that if anyone was walking down the street, although they could see the crate, they wouldn't be able to see there was something in it.

That was a mobile phone. So just something cheap that would clearly not matter if someone *had* spotted it. :/

Amazon delivered a parcel to my neighbour a few doors down the other day and they just promptly dumped it in my (unlocked) porch. Amazon would be wondering why they bothered. But Ive had things put in the big bins before now, with no sign of a delivery note. Plus fragile things dropped from waist height by the postman - I can hear the lass smashing as they land yet he still tries to deny it!

Thoughts are my own/not to be regarded as official advice,which should be sought from a suitably qualified Accountant.
