Wednesday, I find a card in the letter box dated Tuesday. No big deal I think to myself (still wondering how i missed it - both the wife and I work from home). Request a redelivery all will be sweet. While i'm sending the message online for a redelivery I notice the original delivery was made at 6.17AM. WTF I think to myself, who the hell is up at that time to sign for a parcel...
So being inquisitive I pull up the security camera footage for Tuesday 6.17AM (it was snowing, that was nice...) - driver pulls up to the end of the driveway, gets out of the van and goes straight to the letterbox (presumably to insert the card to say we tried to deliver your parcel), back in the van then drives off... Does that even count as a delivery attempt?
Thursday I have a parcel to send to Auckland and I think oh well might as well give him a reason to come back, so book it through Aramex via TM.
Sadly, today, it is still sitting on the hallway table, and I still don't have my delivery... I guess that will be the first and last time I use Aramex
But I was also reading this article last week, so I will try not to judge them too harshly...

Its a similar situation in many countries. Ken Loach made a movie, Sorry we missed you, about it which sums it up very well. People buy into it believing they're going to be working for themselves but quickly find they're on a treadmill.

"Director Ken Loach and screenwriter Paul Laverty have come storming back to Cannes with another tactlessly passionate bulletin from the heart of modern Britain, the land of zero-hours vassalage and service-economy serfdom – a film in the tradition of Loach’s previous work and reaching back to Vittorio De Sica’s Bicycle Thieves. It’s fierce, open and angry, unironised and unadorned, about a vital contemporary issue whose implications you somehow don’t hear on the news."
