Ok. So i ordered a bunch of books off amazon. I ordered, and i must stress this, FIRST CLASS POST delivery.

So Amazon gives the package to a courier company… why? I don’t know.

The company states i have to wait all day for the delivery. I wait from 7am – 7pm putting my life on hold. They don’t come on day they called and said it would on. Ask where it is. Says it will come tomorrow. I wait next day. I am upstairs. I look down, the delivery man just slips a note in the door, stating that I and my neighbors are busy. He does not ring the doorbell, nor my neighbors. Both our dogs would bark if it did. I can clearly hear my doorbell ring upstairs (small house )

I phone up, complain. Says they will come again. He does the exact same thing again. I rush out to stop him leaving, call out to him. Looks around. Then gets into the lorry, and drives away.

Now they are just taking the piss. They don’t even carry the packages to the door, they just slip a ‘im busy’ note under the door.

Are they doing this because they make more money coming out every time? This is so ridiculous, i can’t even complain now – i imagine it will make things worse. Even when he sees me he drives off. I need those books desperately. Putting my life on hold to wait for a damn delivery. The depot is really far away, but i think i might try driving there. What do you think i should do?

Does amazon’s international express delivery deliver on Saturdays?
On Thursday I ordered stuff off amazon.de, and chose international express delivery, it said it’ll take 1~2 working days, and the estimated delivery date is today, saturday, the courier is UPS, as of today, 6th September a.m.3:59 the package is at Cologne, Germany.
I live in London.
Question 1, Will I get my stuff today?
Question 2, When I order in the UK, does Royal Mail deliver on Saturdays? Sundays? Bank Holidays?

I am in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and will not be able to get a postal/courier copy via Amazon, Samuel French etc, as it will take too long. I will happily pay any reasonable fee (I don’t want to avoid paying).
Thank you to Bob P, Ginamarie, Peacfron50 and KWH for so rapidly answering my earlier question (where I did not explain that I meant by online – immediate availability)
Thank you for the answers (1 and 2). To make myself clear, I want to buy a copy of the play – but have to have it in 2 days, and posting, library local theatre group is not an option in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. I will gladly pay to download it – I am not trying to avoid copyright and fees.

Basically I ordered a item from Amazon.com and it was meant to be delivered by city link, however all I got was the sorry we missed you card even though I’ve been in all day and now i’m expected to pay for it to be delivered or travel 50miles just to collect it, is there any other option?
