Toot

Ordered something online. Claim was three to five business days for delivery.

It took GLS six business days to collect it, then another eight to do something with it, even though they themselves predicted delivery for last week at some point.

Today, the parcel is out for delivery. At first, the live tracking claimed it was 30 stops away. Hours later, it was nine. Then 34. Now 43. 😂

It's not very urgent anyways, but I feel like if a package is cursed, it's very thoroughly cursed. Or maybe it's their normal mode of operation? Last delivery by them must have been quite a while ago.

Update:

Five minutes ago, I was the next stop.

Now? Nine stops before me. 😄

This live tracking would be a fun party game. Or GLS should let us roll virtual dice who's next.

Edit: While I wrote this toot? 18 stops away now. 😂

Final update: The eagle has landed. I repeat, the eagle has landed.

And while I kinda expected the delivery person to show up, check a device and then frantically run somewhere else ... well, the hand-over was pretty standard.

I might try this again if I need a random number generator. 😉

@Sven what will happen next, is the delivery guy will fall over whilst carrying it up to you, landing on the contents and totally destroying it.

I guarantee it. 🤣

@harrybo Would be hard to do.

But maybe they deliver it to a neighbour and not name them? More guesswork!

@Sven Lucky you! I am still waiting and hoping that GLS delivers my parcel that has been moving around since almost a week with the 3rd delivery attempt today :)

@jwildeboer Oh my, good luck! Looks like they're indeed a bit chaotic then.
