I'm out to a play and a meal this evening and hope to get out for a hike tomorrow but I'm working as usual on Monday.

Good to hear you got it. We get stuff misdelivered all the time because the houses have names and next door is very similar. It usually depends which way down the road the driver is going, they just deliver it to the first one they see and figure it's close enough. But they don't have our parcel this time. I've emailed the seller but I doubt they'll see it until Tuesday.

Last year I had an Amazon one delivered to a neighbour when we were out, that's fine but they didn't say which neighbour and wouldn't tell me when I got hold of a person. They just declared it lost and sent it again. A week later someone bought it around asking why I never went to get it

So much hassle over what should be a simple process. I've been quite lucky and have had barely any parcels go missing over the years. One of the best situations was when I ordered The Matrix Trilogy in 4K from a website called Rarewaves. It never arrived and after waiting the allotted three weeks, they sent another.

As you've probably guessed, I ended up with two copies as the original turned up as well. I was willing to send one back as I'm too honest for my own good at times but they refused and said please keep it. So I sold it to CEX and that helped offset the price of the original!
