Is anyone else experiencing difficulties with Toolstation deliveries?
I placed an order at 17:16 on Thursday the 7th, and the package was at
the Parcelforce depot at 05:49 on Friday morning. That's in Milton
Keynes, less than 20 miles from here, and at the moment on Sunday
afternoon it's still there. I hope it will arrive tomorrow.
My last Toolstation order took 48 hours to arrive. I said nothing,
because I thought it might be a one-off, but obviously Parcelforce have
problems.
Click and Collect isn't an option for me as I'm a wrinkly in self-isolation.

Parcelforce do have a 48 hour service as well as a 24 hour one. And
don't deliver Saturday normally. Although round here it's the ordinary
post people delivering it, so there is no reason why they shouldn't.

And, it was a Bank Holiday on Friday.
Have you paid for a Saturday or Sunday delivery? No, then what the fuck
do you expect? Someone from the shop to deliver it personally to you?
Yes, expect delays, and dont expect deliveries on a BH.

In case you hadn't noticed, Friday was a Bank Holiday, so there wouldn't
have been any deliveries on that day.

I had forgotten it was a Bank Holiday as I was working as normal. It's
not clear from the Parcelforce website whether they deliver on Saturdays.

Toolstation provide Next Business Day delivery escaped me as I had
forgotten that it was a Bank Holiday on Friday, and of course Saturday
is not a business day.
Despite the current general working situation I'm busier than I have
been for several months, and so have been working every day all last
week, including weekends and that Bank Holiday, and will be next week as
well.

Hopefully that will not last, but as they have been aiming to do that
for some time I would not hold my breath!

Many people are experiencing issues with anything that goes near Royal Mail.
They unilaterally discontinued Saturday deliveries of letters to concentrate
on they other work but nothing seems to have got better, indeed its now as
if they all go home for the Weekend around here.
