SO. MUCH. RAAAAAAGE.

I got a phone call this morning from DHL "We've got a package here that's come back to us..."

They're ~500km away in Cairns, apparently the delivery driver said the house was abandoned

That really peeves me off, we have courier drivers in and out of here every day because of my electronics business. Two cars in the drive way... open curtains, bird out on the porch, lawns mowed, doors OPEN ? Did the guy even look?

I'm honestly feeling like just crying-raging. Apparently they attempted to deliver on Tuesday - sad considering I was up at 8am, opened up everything, was WAITING for the guy all day.

Worst bit is, since it's in Cairns, it'll be another TWO DAYS before it gets here again.

Sorry for the rant... been a rough week and having this happen really just topped me over.

Paul.
