hello there
oh. so it is true, look you see. a certain delivery company in the UK - one that tends to fill customers with dread when, at the last moment, it is revealed that they shall be "delivering" whatever they have ordered - actually do something what i had heard about but never experienced. until now. and yet all went well.
it is not my place to name and shame this company. let it be said that it is the one what takes its name from a deity out of greek mythology. of the many things, aspect and roles ascribed to this olympiad (and many would highlight his association with thieves), presumably the company in questions elected to embrace this name for his assignment as the "messenger of the gods". well, if you are going to start something, don't p!ss about i suppose, name yourself as the strongest and best and try to do that.
whilst i cannot quote a specific number of instances, it has been the case that i have been the benefactor of their services on several occasions. rather on auto-pilot i groaned upon the discovery of this, for their reputation for failed deliveries, and indeed damaged or "missing" items, is now an established part of the English way of doing things. and yet on each instance of them delivering something to me it has been flawless and perfect, all fully tracked and always landing within the impressive two hour window they advise me of.
but, then again, i have always been home when they have delivered (mostly by default rather than design, but still). on instances when no one is around to accept an item, they have been known to leave said item in a "safe" place and email you a picture. i had heard legends of these images, but here above is the one they sent me. this was in relation to a parcel recently received (obviously), with the item being a secret thing that i care not to disclose the details of. rather unusual it was, as point of fact, to get this picture, considering it was seen to be collected by me by the happy go lucky driver delivery dude who left it on the doorstep, knocked and then "socially distanced" to make sure i got it, as per the prescribed methods and ways of the invisible war on the new plague.
